From Laura Pavlick, General Secretary of the United States Aikido Federation:
The Aikikai Foundation has established a fund to accept donations that they will then forward to the Japanese Red Cross. The USAF is collecting donations to forward to the Aikikai to help support the many people in need. We hope that by giving through the aikido community, you will understand your personal connection to this sad and overwhelming situation.

I updated our dojo timeline with the following information – John Miller’s departure, our 2011 camping trip, nafudakake, and the dojo blogs and newsletter.
