Fairfax County has closed schools through Wednesday due to the excessive snow this weekend, and the RECenter goes on the school schedule for registered classes. Unfortunately, this means that tomorrow’s class will be canceled.

Our next class will be the Tuesday after Christmas. If you celebrate, have a Merry Christmas. If you don’t, enjoy the long weekend!

The details for our Pre-Winter mini-session and Winter quarter have been released and posted on the home page and the Class Info

Unfortunately, in this tough economy, organizations like Fairfax County Parks Authority are struggling to keep afloat, and while I’m happy to see that the price for next quarter’s class has not changed, I did notice that the out-of-county surcharge has increased from $10 to $15. This comes close on the heels of last quarter’s reduction of the early enrollment discount from $10 to $8. I apologize to my students and potential students who don’t live in Fairfax County for this added charge. As you know, these fees are out of my hands, but in the current economy, which has caused a number of budget shortfalls in the county, I hope you understand why the county feels this change is necessary.

There will be no class on Saturday, May 2^nd. Erik has a family function to attend, and his assistant instructor and advanced student are unavailable to cover class.

The Lee District RECenter is not hosting any registered classes on Saturday, November 29. However, the facility will still be open, and people are welcome to come work out. Given that, CIMAC will have an informal class, but students will need to either be RECenter members or pay admission at the front desk to come in, since it’s outside the regular class schedule. All are welcome.

The new Fairfax County ParkTakes catalog has been sent out. If you’ve taken classes at RECenters before, you’ll have received it by now. The information for our club is on page 102, and is accurate this quarter. If not, head over to the Class Info page to get details on the new quarter, which begins January 3^rd.

The Chinese-Indonesian Martial Arts Club website has undergone an overhaul.  Formerly, the site was 100% hand-edited static HTML.  It’s been updated to be based on the WordPress platform, which allows for the implementation of various new features, including interactive features, and if students wish, members-only features.  If there’s anything you’d like to see implemented on the website, let Erik know.
