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

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
Dojo for co-sponsoring this event with Kiyo Mizu Kai. If you have any questions,
ideas, or want to volunteer your time, please contact us! Lorri
