From Brandon Sensei
Following a discussion after last Wednesday morning's class, I spoke with Kayla Sensei about the potential paths down which Free Aiki Dojo and Golden Bears Aikido students might travel. As I head for Texas in August, I know that you might decide to leave off training or go elsewhere. I hope not. I hope that you will remain a part of this training community and turn to Kayla Sensei, and to the sempai who make Aikido of Berkeley such a rich ground for developing aikido skills.
Toward that end, she has let me know that she is happy to receive from each of you whatever money you contribute to Free Aiki and welcome you warmly. She will join us for Dena's 6th kyu test at 7 a.m. on Wed., June 27th, and stay for a bit afterwards to talk. Please come.
My guesses about my dojo schedule between now and leaving:

Lisi Sempai starts teaching adults on Saturdays 10-11:30 a.m. on July 28, and I strongly urge you to learn all the wonderful things she has to teach.
There is still more to discuss about the Wednesday 7 a.m. and Saturday 12-1 p.m. classes.
Missing you already,
Sensei
