Dear Class members:

            We had another great meeting last Sunday with 17 people present doing exercise and exchange experience. Next week we will go back to Saturday afternoon 12:30- 2:30 pm, either at Amity Park or Bishop Fiorenza pending on weather conditions. I will give further notice

Attached below is the web page of the Bishop Fiorenza Park we found as a superior place than the Amity Park at windy or rainy days:

            Jerry Yang called for a captains’ meeting Sunday, Jan 15, and it was very constructive in clarifying the rules, principles, resolving few confusing issues and laying out future plans as well as future meeting format. Following are the key conclusions:

1. The mailing directory will be extended to include 2004 class and the advanced classes with individual consent from each class member. Wenyen Wu, the vice class head of 2005 class, agreed to do the maintenance of the directory. Each class member may request contact information of other class member(s) from the captain on duty. Using group email list for purposes other than ChiKung meeting is strictly forbidden.

2. Co-captains will take turns to be the initiator and announcer of weekly events for the Houston ChiKung classes. I am assigned to do the first six months (Jan-June, 2006). Each announcement will first be circulated among the co-captains to catch any errors or add missing information.

3. The general format of the weekly meeting will be: one hour for Chi pickup, Chi exercise, unload bad Chi; experience exchange and Q & A section in the second hour. Special invited lectures will be arranged occasionally pending on lecturer’s availability.

4. To include as many class members as possible, we will alternate our weekly meeting time between Saturday, 12:30 -2:30 pm and Sunday 10:00 – 12:00 am.

5. Meeting place will be either Amity Park or Bishop Fiorenza Park pending on weather. There is possibility that additional location with indoor facility be arranged by Yu, Hsiyann (co-captain).

6. To avoid any accidents due to unguided ChiKung exercise, every member should avoid teaching non-class members and refer those who wish to participate to Jerry Yang or directly to Master Zhao.
