Zenko Int’l (All Tiger Groups) –
Online News – June 2005
Dear Kyudo
Friends,
Greetings,
We hope that you’re all doing
well and enjoying your summer.
The heat wave that has
surprised many of us lately in North America as
much as in some
region of Europe, may have challenged a bit our
determination in
our Kyudo practice.
Overall, it may be seen as a good and healthy
challenge.
Enough weather, here are the News.
Enjoy.

From
Laurajean Stewart –Vermont Practice Group – Vermont –
USA
1)
Once again this year, at the time of the Kyudo
program at Karme
Choling - Vermont (USA),
we were touched by
Karme Choling’s Sacred Kyudo Venue.
The preservation,
maintenance and upkeep of said Venue is the
responsability of our
Kyudo Community and it is currently in need of our
help.
It
is with this in mind that we ask for each Kyudo
practitioner’s
assistance, by financial donation, and/or
through participation in the
upcoming Work Weekend scheduled for
September 16-18.
Donations should be made out to Karme
Choling, earmarked Kyudo, and
mailed to:
LJ Stewart
64 Monument Circle; Barnet, Vt. 05821 USA
Questions can
be directed to LJ: mailto:samuraihini@hotmail.com
Please
confirm attendance Sept 16-18 no later than Sept. 9, so
that
accommodations & meal planning are accurate. Thank
you all for your
support.
With Kyudo Heart,
Vermont Practice
Group
2)
A 1st Shot Program is scheduled at Karme
Choling, October 14-16, Jack &
Laurajean Stewart,
Instructors.
We invite Intermediate Kyudo practitioners to join us
for practice
during the weekend, which will offer Beginner's the
opportunity to do
"looking practice". Mark your
calendars now, more specific information
to follow
later.
