Sifu Don Grose of the Tucson Ving Tsun Academy has asked me to post an invitation to the 2nd Annual Arizona Wing Chun Gathering. It will be held on Oct. 16th 2004, from 10am to 2pm.
Sifu Don Grose has asked that those who wish to attend to please R.S.V.P. by Oct 1st. He can be reached via e-mail at dgrose@comcast.net .
Hope to see you there!

Sorry John.
I am not planning on going. Who is coordinating it and where will it be?

Sorry to hear that Joy, I hoped you were going to be there. Hope some of your students can make it at least.
Sifu Don Grose is doing it this year again, and will be held at Chaparral Park in Scottsdale, same as last year.

To all in AZ,
I'm sorry that I can't make it to this get together. I was able to attend the last one and had a great time, and some great BBQ. I wish you all the best.

The gathering is this weekend
I was just wondering if you have a take on numbers.
Also do you have a structured agenda on the event.

I talked with Sifu Don by email about 10 days ago and the numbers at that time weren't clear but it didn't sound great (15 to 20 maybe more maybe less). There has been scattered interest from different groups so as for whole groups showing up ????? but maybe some practitioners from those groups yes. As for scheduled events that is up to Sifu Don I really don't know the agenda.
John Widener and myself are really baffled (and have had many discussions about why) as I am sure Sifu Don Grose is as to why the low interest this time. I am hoping personally for a big surprise and more showing than expected.
I believe this is a very worthwhile event and Sifu Don Grose should be commended highly for attempting to get us all together to hang out, meet each other and share Wing Chun.

Guys-
I enjoyed last year's gathering, but unfortunately I can't attend this one.
I wish you all the best and I surely hope you will have a wonderful day.

No one of consequence...
Attendees
Sorry for the late reply, but I have conversed with some of my sihingdai and as of today (Friday), about 5 members from MengsofAZ and a couple more of their friends will join the Gathering.
I agree, Sifu Don Grose should be commended for this annual event!

Best wishes on a fun and informative get-together. While it's always great to have a big group, remember, it's quality not quantity that counts.

Thank you very much kj, and I couldn't agree with you more about quality over quantity.
