Due to increased financial pressure in rent, Calgary Aikikai will be changing locations as of July 7, 2008.

Calgary Aikikai has decided to give up the location on 36th Ave rather than increase the monthly fees to our members. To keep membership reasonable, we will be moving to River Park Church [3818-14A Street SW], where the children’s classes will be combined with the Adult classes for July and August, running on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:00to 8:00pm. The Fall Children’s class will resume on September 3, 2008 at which time the permanent fall schedule will available.

We hope these changes will give us the opportunity to continue working with your children through the summer and into the fall.

We enjoy watching your children’s skills develop and hope your find our new location more convenient. If you require further information, please call us at 403-243-9880 or E-mail: tolachance@hotmail.com or takashik@shaw.ca

Thank you and have a great summer.
