Important Camp Hotel Update

June 12, 2013 by

IMPORTANT CAMP HOTEL UPDATE

HOTEL REGISTRATION DEADLINE FAST APPROACHING.  The deadline for reserving your hotel room at the USAF Camp Rate is fast approaching and the number of rooms still available is limited.  If you have not already done so, please register for camp and reserve your hotel room as soon as possible but no later than  Sunday, June 23rd (rooms subject to availability).

MAKE SURE YOUR FRIENDS HAVE REGISTERED. If you have already registered for camp and reserved your hotel room, please check that your roommate(s) has done the same.   To be eligible for the double, triple, or quad rate, as applicable, all roommates (including practicing and non-practicing participants) must register for a camp package (1/2 or full week) and register with the hotel by June 23rd.

BREAKFAST.  The USAF Camp Rate at the hotel includes breakfast and you will receive a breakfast ticket at time of check-in only if you have properly completed your online hotel reservation process. If you register after the June 23rd deadline or directly with the hotel, you will not receive the USAF Camp Rate and your rate may not include breakfast.

AFTER THE JUNE 23rd DEADLINE. After June 23rd, the online portal for reserving your hotel room will be removed.  Reservations may be made directly with the hotel but the rates will vary and breakfast may not be included.  You can still register for camp online after the 23rd but you must make your own housing arrangements.  Please note, the camp package (1/2 or full week) meal plan includes dinner only and prices do not vary regardless of where you are staying or when you register.

Please e-mail laura@usaikifed.com with any questions.

Thank you!

Henry Smith Shihan, from Yamada Sensei

May 16, 2013 by

I am very sad to have received the news about the passing of Henry Smith.  As one of my old time students at NY Aikikai, and now a Shihan in the USAF with his own dojo for many years, he as been a part of my life for a very long time.  Henry was always involved in so many interesting things, and he positively influenced so many people.  I know he has a family that was very dear to him, and many students who will now have to continue on without him. This is never easy, but we must try to remember his spirit, his generosity, and his smile. This will help us all get through this difficult time together.

Announcement Regarding New Resource for USAF Instructors

May 10, 2013 by

Having an in-house reference library based on the experience of USAF instructors is a great way to support each other with tasks that may sometimes seem daunting:  How to come up with new ideas for a brochure, how to define aikido for marketing material, what kind of layout for a pull-tab flier works best, where to find a good insurance company or direct billing company, etc.  There is now a place where you can share your ideas as well as benefit from the contributions of others.

The Filebrowser section of the USAF website is where important USAF documents and information are stored for your easy access.  This is only available to USAF instructors with a login and password.  A new folder has been added to this section, titled USAF Resources. Within this folder are currently 3 sections – Dojo Marketing Material, Insurance Company Referrals, and Direct Billing Referrals.  With your submissions, this section will continue to grow and will hopefully become a wealth of information that can help support USAF member dojos.  The first dojo marketing material document has been upload – a pull-tab flier from Litchfield Hills Aikikai (only pdfs will be uploaded).  You will not be informed each time a new addition is made.

Please email me any materials you would like to share.  If your contribution falls outside the definition of the current folders, than new folders will be made to accommodate your material. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely yours,

Laura Pavlick

Director of Operations
