Dear Friends,
It's funny how much longer six years sounds to me compared to five. But as I reflect on the significance of this past year, it seems like a decade has passed. And what a decade it was! Please come celebrate with me and your fellow Taj-ites Friday, February 18, at Taj Yoga's 6th Birthday Party & Grand Opening of Taj 2.
This annual event has grown every year, and we have some very talented people at the Taj. I am pleased to include them as well as members of the Taj Yoga Teatro in the evening's entertainment. Doors open at 7:00 p.m., performances start at 7:30 p.m. See below for details.

 Thank you Lambda Phi Epsilon, UW chapter, for pulling down the retaining wall that was slowly succumbing to gravity. This once charming brick wall will be replaced with a similar curving wall in the near future. Thanks are also in order to Eagle Scout Troop 321, and to Steve and Joe Brockman for the construction of new storage carts in Taj 2. With mirrors on the front and storage in the back for chairs and tables, these puppies are a Virgo's dream come true.
