Zenko Int’l (All Tiger Groups) –
Online News – August 2005
Dear Kyudo
friends,
Warm greetings,
By the time you will
receive this Issue, Kanjuro Shibata XX will have
returned to
Boulder – Colorado from his `` European Tour ``.
Year
after year isn’t it astonishing to notice how Sensei can travel
so
much and teach so many programs ?
`` Gambate `` is the
word that echoes in my mind, `` never give up ``
would he
say.
Well, what a wonderful and inspiring example we
have.
Here follows the News.
Enjoy.

It
was getting crazy in the White House Press Room. Some bow and
arrow
group is going to have an international gathering INSIDE the
beltway.
The press
grabbed the story like a horde of piranhas.
Forget the Iraqi
constitution, the hurricane in New Orleans, and
the President’s
popularity. This was important!
The
President’s Press Secretary knew he was in trouble. "OK,
OK, hold it
down! Everything’s under control. Here is what
we have found out:"

If
anyone is holding a program, they might
consider offering some of
the Zenko merchandise for sale. There's a
couple of
boxes of
T-shirts, plus tote bags and hats that are languishing up
here,
waiting for someone to snatch them up. Interested
parties can be in
touch,
either by email or by phone and we can
make arrangements. Phone
number
is
519-595-8791.
