those who attended. The Aikido Kids did a great job! We thank them for their
support.
May 3, 2008 - Friendship Workout Day - Thank you for all who participated in
this year’s Friendship Workout Day. After an enjoyable Aikido workout, the
children made and flew their own kites which they personalized with their artwork.
They were then treated to a colorful lunch with a Japanese twist for the
adventurous, with a backup of the more traditional Bagel Bites and some Dinosaur
shaped chicken nuggets of course! The menu consisted of Teriyaki Chicken
Wings, Mini Rice Balls, Edamame, Pocky, Cupcakes, and Watermelon. Lessons
on rice ball making were also offered to those who wanted to try. We look forward
to having this event again next year. Thank you to the Aikido Delaware Aikikai

ideas, or want to volunteer your time, please contact us! Lorri
