Editor's Corner

Welcome to the winter 2005 edition of Aikido East. I hope you enjoy reading the many articles and looking at the pictures of the different seminars and dojos which have been included. Again, I want to thank all of you who have participated in this edition, and all of you who have become loyal readers or are visiting us for the first time.

For future reference, please keep in mind that Aikido East does not post flyers of individual seminars. You can find the list of seminars in the Newsletter through the Events Link to the USAF website at www.usaikifed.com. However, please remember that you should contact Susan Wolk in advance if you are planning a seminar so as to avoid unnecessary scheduling conflicts.

The USAF New Year's renewal package will be mailed out next week. Please take the time to read through it carefully as it contains a lot of important information. The deadline for returning your paperwork is April 1, 2005

If you have any questions, ideas, articles or photos, please email me directly. For now, I only accept digital photographs by email, not regular prints. Hopefully that will change and I will let you know.

We are also trying to compile an accurate email address list of USAF Eastern Region dojos, so please remember to email us if and when your address changes: editor@aikidoeast.com. Also, many of the subscribers' email addresses are no longer valid so please re-subscribe if you have changed your address. I will be deleting all addresses that are returned as undeliverable.

The next edition will be online May 15th 2005, so take notes, take pictures and stay in touch!
