Winter Quarter 2015!

Feliz 2015!

For the rest of the school year we should be meeting on mondays (starting next week) at 6pm in carver gym room # 60.

We'll discuss the possibilities for meeting at other times as well.

Two great events coming up: saturday january 17th Mestre Silvinho will be in Bellingham to lead a workshop at the annual Martin Luther King Conference at WCC. We will also have more workshops that afternoon!

We are also in the early stages of planning another workshop by Mestre, this time at northwest indian college, the evening of either february 25th or 26th. Mark your calendars!

Valeu!
