The start of CIT week. With almost 600 participants it was „half in the hall and half out on the deck“. In the lines for dinner, the chatter was in all languages. Even on the first day, there was so much to talk about! — Judit, Hungary
Denmark @ CIT Week
573 people sharing experience with the dan-yu and how to teach „dropping“. And how easy it is to make it complicated and losing the balance on the way. So my biggest take away from the afternoon is to get the simple focus of Balance – Drop – Smile into the practice. — Nis, Denmark

The Portland branch held its Awareness Day on July 30th. Over 20 members walked and rode the light rail together to do three demos in Portland parks. It was a beautiful sunny day and members of the public seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. Our goal is to have 40 members next Awareness Day.
