Anniversary Celebration Update

We are excited to announce that we will now be holding the Malee’s School 15th Anniversary Dinner at Royal Buffet & Grill of Manchester. We have reserved a party room at the restaurant, where we will be able to play movies on a large screen and sing karaoke. The restaurant is about a five minute drive from the school.

Royal Buffet is an all-you-can-eat buffet, with Chinese, American, Italian, and Japanese food.

With this change of venue, we are sure the celebration will be even more fun for everyone! Everyone can purchase tickets (students, family, and friends).

See the detailed information below. (Please notice the price changes.)

Master Malee to Lead U.S. Team at 10^th World Wushu Championships

October 23-29, 2009

From October 23 to 30, Master Malee will be in Toronto, Canada, serving as the U.S. team manager at the 10^th World Wushu Championships. During that time, all regularly scheduled tai chi and kung fu group classes will be taught by instructors and assistant instructors.

This will be the fifth time since 2007 that Master Malee has led a U.S. team to an international or worldwide championship. The last time was in December, 2008, when she was the U.S. team manager for the 2^nd World Junior Wushu Championships in Indonesia.

While Master Malee is gone, tai chi classes will be taught by instructors Susan White, Louis Graff, Cindy Hoag, and Anthony Roberts. Kung fu classes will be taught by Anthony Roberts and Jon Torre.

Malee’s School’s

15^th Anniversary Celebration

Saturday, November 21, 2009

Starting at 2 pm at Malee’s School

Dinner at 4 pm at Royal Buffet

Malee’s School will be holding its 15^th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, November 21, beginning at 2 pm. An hour of performances at the school will be followed by dinner and a party at Royal Buffet (see below).

This year the church where we usually hold the celebration was booked for November, so the event will take place at Malee’s School instead.

This year we are also making a few minor changes.

First, the performances will take up less time than in previous years, and they will focus more on the variety of performances, with a focus on our most experienced students and instructors. We hope this will make the experience more enjoyable for everyone.

Second, we will not be doing a potluck dinner this year. Instead, dinner will be held at Royal Buffet & Grill. We have reserved a large party room there with a movie screen, DVD player, and a karaoke machine. The buffet has Chinese, American, Italian, and Japanese food.

Ticket prices:

Adults: $16

Seniors (65 & over): $14.50

Children 6-11: $11.50

Children 3-5: $6.75

Please contact us to purchase tickets.

PLEASE NOTE: All prices are the regular prices for the restaurant, plus a 15% tip and one beverage (free refills for soda and coffee). You won’t be charged anything at the restaurant unless you order refills for juice or buy alcoholic beverages.

2010 Asia Trip

In 2007 Master Malee led a group of students and friends on a trip throughout China. Now there is growing interest in a two-week trip to Hong Kong and Thailand, or perhaps other locations, in the summer of 2010. If anyone is interested in doing such a trip, please contact Master Malee.

Welcome Back, Ruth!

In July, 9-year-old Malee’s School student Ruth Tian traveled to Nanjing, China, to train in wushu every day for over three months. Master Malee had introduced her to a coach and friend of hers, Grandmaster Qian Yuanze, who also visited our school in 2006 and 2007. Ruth took daily lessons from a student of Grandmaster Qian.

Now, at long last, Ruth is returning to the U.S.A.! Please show your support and friendship by signing the card for her, which is available at the main table in the school waiting room.

Congratulations to Jon Torre

We are also happy to extend congratulations to Jon Torre, who passed his black belt test on September 12, 2009. Great job, Jon!

一位傑出的中華女性

简体

<<一位傑出的中華女性>>

自一九三六年在德國舉辦的奧運會上中華武術有過小型的表演之後就再也沒有出現過，然而，中華武術界人士經過了幾十年漫長歲月的艱苦奮鬥，努力不懈的爭取，終於老天不負有心人。再2008年北京奧運會上可以看到這中華精隨，<武術>作為奧運的特設項目，是中國人的莫大光榮，國際華人的巨大鼓舞。從東亞病夫的年代到世界頂尖的武術時代。我們都不得不佩服和讚美在海外為中華武術作出貢獻的人士，尤其在美國的許瑪麗女士，她一九八九年移民美國，一位原本是武術教練的她，以中華武術為己任。於一九九四年創辦了瑪麗太極功夫學校。十五年來，許校長裁培了不少武術精英。將國粹發揚光大，讓外國人訢喜接受，先後舉辦了不少比賽會。由2007年起一直擔任美國國家武術隊總領隊，2008年北京奧運會上，許瑪麗校長率領美國國家武術隊，參與了舉世矚目的比賽盛會，并住進奧運村。作為一位華人能帶領美國隊出賽，這使移民和旅居在美國的華人感到榮耀和安慰！

衷心地祝願：許瑪麗校長百尺竿頭！更上層樓！

衷心地祝愿：许玛丽校长百尺竿头！更上层楼！
