Big preparations are now underway for Kagami Biraki. For those of you who are
unfamiliar with Kagami Biraki, it is one of the most important events for the
UTKC, it is a celebration of the Japanese Martial Arts New Year. It represents
a reflection of the past year's accomplishments and gives people the
opportunity to determine their goals for the upcoming year. Awards will also be
presented to members for outstanding achievements. All members, past and
present are encouraged to attend, and guests are also welcome.

The UTKC will be celebrating Kagami Biraki on Saturday January 14, 2006,
following an all-day workout, so keep this day free! The event will be held at
Bella Vista Trattoria, 660 College Street at 6:00p.m. The cost of attending
for everyone is $25. The price will increase by $5 after January 8. If you are
not able to make it to class before the holidays, please contact me at
moyo.williams@... for other sign-up arrangements.

In addition to observing the past traditions of Kagami Biraki, joke awards will
also be presented. If anyone would like to present a joke award to another
member of the club, please email me your suggestion and what you feel is an
appropriate award.
