I hope this finds everyone in good health and spirits - and ready for camp. Enclosed you will find the eligibility requirements, etc. For the 24th "Little Okinawa" experience. In order to simplify registration, sensei Mel Meibers and sensei Tom Harris are attempting to bring "sensei“ into this century by offering on-line registration in addition to by-mail registration for those like me who are technically challenged.
