About 2008 Aikido
Our holiday break is Dec 24 to Jan 1. Our dojo reopens Wed Jan 2, 2008. All current students will need to fill out a new set of forms to enroll for 2008. For the first time in several years we will see a small
raise in prices, which is intended to offset the raise in facility cost
and operating expense. We look forward to another great year of Aikido
practice, friendship, fun, connections, and further progress on the
path of peaceful power.
