A Special Thank You From Kawasaki Rendokan Judo Academy

I would like to congratulate and thank those who participated, and volunteered on the weekend.

Congratulations to all who attended and I hope that it was fun and rewarding for all.

Special thank you to those who volunteered during the tournament. Special thanks to Sensei Al and Sensei Paul for coming in on Friday evening and setting up the two rooms in preparation for Saturday morning. And of course others such as Mark Straka, Fiona McAlpine, , Mr Greenall, Goisha, Stephanie and Steve Lampman, Chuck Lee, Ray Young, Al Melloh, Roberto Diantonio, Joe Sormaz, Steve Kennish (Tim Horton’s), Michael Morgenroth, Julian, and many more, for making our day run smooth operationally. Please forgive me if I have not mentioned you for your assistance as it is not intentional.

Congratulations to the 20 members who received their promotion during the event. We are encouraged to host our 3rd Tomodachi in March of 2007 so stay tuned.

We wish for a speedy and full recovery for Ian Bruce (Nikyu) from his recent injury.

Kind Regards,
Kawasaki Sensei
