Hi All,
Looking back to this year, our biggest Iaido event was the
Kokusai Renmei Taikai/Seminar in May.
It was quite successful & almost
same scale as German one. Also the first Kokusai Taikai event in over sea.
I really thank you to all dojo heads in US & Canada who send many
students for support our seminar.
Without such support from other dojos, this
kind of big event is not possible.
Also Thank you very much to our dojo's
Core Members for many hard work to make seminar went smooth.
you guys are
next generation of Vancouver dojo.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ! everyone.
Year 2014, another Kokusai
Renmei seminar will be on in Boston.
* Let's encourage Boston seminar.
(Aug. 1st, 2nd & 3rd)

Message from Ron: Kokusai Renmei Annual Fees for 2014
The 2014 Kokusai Renmei Annual Fees of 5000 Japanese Yen for 2014 are due on
October 1st.
The exchange rate is good so now is a good time to purchase Yen.
Sensei paid the 2013 Fee on behalf of some members;but they have not reimbursed Sensei.Sensei can not afford to do this again so these people will lose their membership in Kokusai Renmei if they do not settle with Sensei.
