I hope everyone enjoyed Saturday's all-day workout and Kagami Biraki
celebrations.

Congratulations to this year's award winners:

Most Improved: Manki Ho
Greatest Contribution: Moyo Williams
Top Competitor: Josephine Chen

Thanks to all those who worked to make Saturday a success: the organizer
Michelle, our emcees Joanne and Brian, and Michelle's assistants Gary and
Dominic. Thanks also to our keynote speaker, Zev. His self-reflection and
honesty were inspiring; I feel fortunate to have been there to hear him.

On a personal note, at the risk of sounding sentimental, I'd like to thank all
of you for your kind words. I owe a great deal to many of my dojo mates, I'm
humbled to know that I've been a positive influence for some of you, and I hope
that all of you will continue to carry the torch for the club.

Now the real work begins: translating your goals into results.

Train hard.
