Hello Lin Ai Wei,

Hello from Cleveland, OH. I haven't written on this forum before, but follow it quietly for years and enjoy reading the different viewpoints on our art. Before I ask people at our studio if they would be interested, I need to ask, When you would like to host a Wing Chun exchange? As a Ph.D. student, I won't be let out until after the second week of December. January would be excellent, December difficult, and November impossible. When were you planning the event?

Thanks, and wishing all endurance in your training,

Ann
