so if you have pictures or short videos from this year's past
events please bring them to dojo
- If you have an old baby picture of yourself
(preferably 2 years or younger), please bring it for
use in one of the game for the Christmas Party. (we will return
it to you).
- If you have a projector for slideshow, can we borrow it on
the Christmas Party?
- We will be decorating the gym for the party and need some
decoration items. If you have any Christmas decorations that you
can lend or donate to the dojo, please let us know.
