Where we are going: Aikido classes will continue, though, at the Broad Ripple Park Family Center. We are renting room at the former library building on Monday and Wednesday evenings.

Basically, the children’s class will be meeting from 6-7pm, Mondays. The adult aikido class will meet from 7 – 8:30pm, Mondays and Wednesdays. Our first class there will be Wednesday, Nov. 2, with an adult aikido class from 7 – 8:30pm.

There will be no classes on Monday, Nov. 7, as the entire building will be used to train workers for voting precincts.

Adult class will meet Wednesday, Nov. 9. Monday, Nov. 14, we will have a children’s aikido class from 6-7pm, and and adult class from 7-8:30pm. Classes will be held each Monday on Nov. 21, 28, and Dec. 5 & 12. The Wednesday adult class will  meet Nov. 9, 16, 23 and Dec. 7 &14.

Note that there is no class on Wednesday, Nov. 30 as the space was previously reserved.  The last 2 weeks in December the Center will be closed.

Each evening we will be setting up and removing some velcro folding mats that the Center has, so please plan to be at class, ready to go, 10 minutes early, so we can accomplish this. The bathrooms, just inside the entry door, can be used as changing rooms.

We are paying rent for the Center space in advance, and have paid for Nov. and Dec. We do not have a lease, but are committing ourselves month by month. This schedule is fairly locked in to May, but the “programs” at the Center take precedence over the “rentals” (us).  So, everyone, check with local churches or schools to see if there is other space out there for us to be at.

Down the road, as our bank reserves increase and membership picks up, we can consider leasing somewhere again.

Packing up: Eddie will be able to borrow a truck for our move on Saturday, Oct. 22 and Sunday, Oct. 23. We will start dismantling the mat at 1pm, Saturday, after the children’s class. Please be there!

We will use the velcro folding mats that we have for classes on E. 65th through the end of October. This coming Saturday, Oct. 15, please be at the dojo to help pack up and get ready for the move.  This will be from 11:30am to about 1pm. Bring your favorite tools (wrench box sets, ladders) as we will be unbolting things from walls, taking down the outside sign, disassembling and clearing clutter, and boxing things up. Bring big boxes.”
