Hello Everyone,

It was great to see so many back at the dojo the first week after the break. Welcome to all...especially the novice class.

A couple of housekeeping issues as a reminder:

* Please stay home if you or your child is sick. (Supposedly, the flu hasn't really hit California yet, but is on the way).

* Much thanks to the yonen class for putting the chairs away when their session is over. Please continue doing so...the senior class really appreciates the assistance.

* Dues. Checks can be given to Jesse Sasaki or Sharon Akioka. Cash to Sharon.

* If you want to add, delete or change your email address, feel free to reply to this email. In fact, if you have any questions, suggestions or comments you can address them to announcements@gardenajudo.org

* The Judo Club (or any other weekly organization using the JCI) is no longer allowed to use cabinet space in the kitchen. That space is reserved for JCI supplies or event renters. Please respect this request by the JCI.

The next Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 15, 2013 @ 7:00pm, JCI, Room 206. Any member is invited and welcome to attend.

Our latest roster, as of 01-08-2013, from U.S. Judo Federation shows Gardena as having over 150 registered members.
