Our Chinese New Years Banquet is a celebration of everything that has been accomplished throughout the year and it also signals the beginning of a brand new year. No matter where our journey has taken us this is a time where we all meet and come together as fellow students, friends, family and community.
We plan, organize and practice, practice, practice until finally the big day has arrived. After all those months of practice and preparation it is amazing though how quickly the banquet is over and done. I am grateful for the opportunity to work along side of everyone that comes out to help set up during the day and I enjoy the set up almost as much as the event itself.
Congratulations to Sifu Melanie Beckett and to Sifu Rybak as well as all the students that received awards this year. I am proud to be a member of Silent River Kung Fu and look forward to seeing where my journey will take me during the Year of the Dog!
Happy New Year!
Michele Ward
