2004 All California Open Kendo Tournament
June 1, 2004
ATTN: Southern California Kendo Federation Dojo
As the hosting California Kendo Federation, the Central California Kendo Federation ("CCKF"), cordially invites your dojo, as an affiliated dojo of the Southern California Kendo Federation, to join us at the 2004 All California Open Kendo Tournament on Sunday, September 5, 2004. It will take place at the California State University, Fresno, North Gymnasium. [see map on reverse side of this letter]. This particular tournament was initiated in 1986, when our founder, the late Harutane Chiba, was actively leading our kendo federation; following the second tournament in 1989, this event was abruptly discontinued due to the unfortunate passing away of Chiba sensei in 1992. Now, twelve years later, we are happy to once again begin this tri-annual event, and the event is hoped to be even more exciting as we have grown to four kendo federations in California, since the initial event in 1986.
Please find enclosed a packet that includes information on the tournament as well as a sign-up sheet roster. The roster and other information should be returned by July 15, 2004, to your Southern California Kendo Federation representative, Mr. Tim Yuge.
We hope that your dojo will be able to attend this event and share the exciting experience of this tri-annual all California kendo federation competition!
Sincerely,
George Sakazaki, Tournament Chair
Norman K. Otani, CCKF President

Dear Fellow Kenshi,
The Central California Kendo Federation will be hosting the 2004 All California Open Kendo Tournament this coming summer on Sunday, September 5, 2004. This particular tri-annual event was initiated in 1986, when our founder, the late Harutane Chiba, was actively leading our kendo federation; following the second tournament in 1989, this tri-annual event was abruptly discontinued due to the unfortunate passing away of Chiba sensei in 1992. Now, twelve years later, we are happy to once again begin this tri-annual event, it is hoped that the 2004 event will be even more exciting, as we have grown to four kendo federations in California, since the initial event in 1986.
This tournament, which will include Kendoists from throughout California, is a major undertaking which, as you are aware, will involve a great deal of voluntary assistance by members, parents, and friends.
We would like to take this opportunity to ask if you or your organization would be able to offer us some help by participating in our fundraising program booklet. This booklet will be distributed to all the competitors, visitors and supporters of our tournament and will be a memorable keepsake for years to come.
Your donation, through the purchase of an advertisement or a message space will help our even and ensure its success and enjoyment for all involved. Your kindness will be appreciated!
Please find enclosed an order/donation form for your use. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at your convenience. Thank you for your consideration and we will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
George Sakazaki, Tournament Chair
