This letter is to invite you to the First Year Anniversary Celebration
of the establishment of our Kendo activities in Trinidad & Tobago.
Over the past year we have taught Japanese Fencing classes to many
locals all over the country. As you might know, we now have classes in
two locations: St-Augustine and Port of Spain. Among our group we are
lucky to have very dynamic members eager to learn and progress in this
traditional Japanese discipline.

Looking back, it's been a very exciting year and more is yet to come.
We plan on using this occasion to introduce ourselves to the Martial
Arts community and in doing so, hope to establish solid relationships
with other members of other disciplines. The details of the event are
as follows:

Date: Sunday April 17th
Time: 12pm (noon) - 5pm
Location: Queen's Park Savannah (across from QRC, near the coconut vendors)
Program (starting at 1pm):
- Kendo demonstration (1 hour)
- Kata
- Bokken Kihon
- Keiko (free combat)
- Promotion results
- Other martial arts demonstrations, including Iaido, Kung Fu, Tai
Chi, Karate and more... (Feel free to participate by demonstrating
your own discipline)
- Food and Drinks!

Invited guests: All the past and present Kendo members, their friends
and families. All our friends from the martial arts community. Members
of the media will also be notified.

We hope to see you there! Please feel free to bring your family and
other members of your dojo. For more information on our activities,
contact Eddy @ 787-9100 or visit http://kendo.ipmtt.net

Sincerely,

This is an invitation to celebrate the first anniversary of the
founding of our Kendo dojo in Trinidad (Shoshin Kendo Dojo). As you
know, we've been growing from the first day we started and I was lucky
enough to pass along some of my knowledge to many people over the past
year. It's now time to look back and appreciate the result of our work.

It will also be a good opportunity to display our craft to our friends
and family, as well as other people not so familiar with Kendo.

In order to celebrate in a proper manner, I thought it was a good idea
to do it "Japanese-style", meaning an outdoor party under blooming
trees. We'll do some Kendo, check out some demonstrations, and more
importantly, eat, drink and be merry !

So please reserve that date in your calendar, and make sure to notify
everyone around you of the event.

For more details, please contact me directly @ 787-9100

Hope to see you there !

Eddy
