Zenko Int’l (All Tiger Groups) Online News – May 2005

Dear Kyudo friends,

Warm greetings to all.
We hope that you’re all healthy and well.


For many of us, from Europe and North America, with the `` lily of the
valley `` month comes inevitably a taste of Summer.
What a taste !

Summer also means for us, Kyudo practitioners, the return of the
intensive
Kyudo Programmes’ Season.

We wish to take this opportunity to invite you to refer to both Zenko
Int’l’s
(www.zenko.org) and Oko Kyudokai’s (www.kyudo.org) web sites in order to
have the complete and up to date range of Kyudo programmes.

This issue of Zenko Int’l’s Online News has two sections:

1) jumbled up News
2) attachments

Enjoy ...

1) Jumbled up News

Zenko Int’l’s 2005 Membership:

As you already know, the new levels are: Seniors/Students $75,
Individuals $120, Families $170 and Supporting $200.

Your contribution is vital to Sensei’s survival outside Japan.
Thank you to those who have already contributed and to those who will

Insurance (for N.A. Kyudo practitioners)

Reminder for all Dojos’ and Practice Groups to ensure all students have
signed their liability release forms.  Since liability insurance
coverage applies to regular
Kyudo practice and special programs, everyone who practices Kyudo must
sign the form.  Also, besides signing the release form, everyone must
sign in during
practice.  Please note that no coverage is provided under the contract
if a person’s name does not appear on a register or log.
