:bow: Just a reminder that a few deadlines are fast approaching.

April 9th is the final day to book a hotel room at the guaranteed discount rate and availability. After that date all blocked off rooms will be available to the public and our arrangements can't be guaranteed after that.

Also, April 17th will be the final day to save money on the seminar cost. Remember that we are limiting the attendance to 50 people and it is over half booked up already. You can still register after the 17th to hold your spot, but the discount will not be available after that date.

Shinden Fudo Ryu Kenjutsu and Iai is a rare see. We encourage anyone who's curious to come check it out. :thumbup1:
