Christmas Party December 9, 2018

Thanks to all  of the members and family who attended our Christmas Party on Sunday . It was a wonderful gathering to socialize with  parents which does not happen during our regular practice sessions.

This year we had 43 people at our Party. Since it was our 50^th Anniversary, we had our members decorate the room .

I showed photos on the Projector  while speaking  about the history of our Dojo.

Jim Chen , our Friday instructor, made a special presentation to Jaime Wong for his outstanding performance at the Abbotsford tournament.

The food that was brought to the party was delicious.  There was hardly any food left for the late comers.

I want to thank Romain Chappaz, who moved to Logan Lake a couple of years ago, for the NAKASHIMA DOJO CHRISTMAS CAKE that he donates every year.
