March is upon us!
Where did February go?
A big, huge,
heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you for making Chinese New Year such a
wonderful experience! THANK YOU to all the demonstrators, your
performances were awesome! THANK YOU to Jane for cleaning, Fred for
getting the chairs and set-up, Dan for filming, and countless others
who helped in ways big and small. Also THANK YOU for all the generous
gifts, red envelopes, scotch, and a set of Deer Horn Knives! The
social time at U Garden was delightful. I am planning for next year
right now!

Our One-day In House Retreat will be March 18th. Sign up and info is posted
next to the white board. Qi-Gong, Form Work, group practice, and
breakout sessions on Gems, the Shoulder Girdle, and historical Tai-Chi
movies, plus lunch, will round out a day being inside, going inside,
and exploring inside. All students are welcome, the only cost will be
lunch. Regular classes will be suspended for that day.
Thank you to Spencer
Chandler for the permanent loan of the beautiful Chinese cabinet,
which will be the new home for our altar. A special thanks to Olivia,
Spencer's daughter, for finding the key, how mystical!

We don’t know when our life will end. Instead of waiting for tomorrow, do it today. Kai poo is a form a mediation. Everyone should do it once in their lifetime.
