My My My how time slips by. It seems like only a week ago that we were complaining about 107 degree weather. Now the fall chill is in the air only to inform us that colder days are headed our way and we will start to put extra blankets on our beds and trade in flip flops for boots.
Here we are in the middle of October and again for the 5th year in a row Aikido Suenaka-Ha Ashland is in the middle of it’s sock and blanket drive for the homeless. The way this became a project for our dojo was that a coworker said that she wanted to do something special for people who are living on the streets. So she decided to give out blankets. Well I had always knew that if I ever had a dojo that it would walk the Aiki walk by being in service to the community. Well I told her that she could count on us and that we would provide socks. I took this project back to the dojo and they thought that it was a great idea to help out. Which is why as the chief instructor I am really happy with our continued commitment to our community.
So feel free to stop by the dojo and drop of a new pair of socks or skull cap or scarf or blanket and stay and try out a class.
