Our Meghan McCoy is off to grad school in Boston. :( We sent her off with a socially-distant Tw***ie party after class in the park! (Why Tw***ies, you ask? Because each one is individually wrapped, and everyone could take their own Tw***ie out of the box.)

We have been out of the dojo too long and need some community. Tonight at 6:30 we will do a FB live and share some suburi. Hope everyone in the dojo can make it. Everyone in the aikido community is invited.
