[Dl-members] Wednesday Practice This Week; Uwajimaya Demo Coming Up Soon

[flugenblar]

Aha! Confirmation of times for Uwajimaya demonstration. We would want judoka
there by 11:00am on Saturday to set up mats and warm up, and by no later
than 1:45 on Sunday. All should wear WHITE gis. Tell them they'll get free
lunch on Saturday.

Thanks!
