Hi Guys we are invited to the Japanese Baptist Temple Church for an Iaido and Kendo Demonstration. The event is a fund raiser for the victims of the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. She also mentioned that there is a possibility that a news team may be coming to cover the event (however i have not confirmed this yet).

the venue will be held in the gymnasium this time around, and the event is supposed to be larger than the previous kendo demo.
