Japanese Classes Pennsic - Schedule
Barbara Nostrand
Greetings from Solveig! I will be offering the following unworthy
"classes" at Pennsic this Summer. They will all be held at Clan Yama
Kaminari which is in E03 behind the white house opposite the Pennsic
University. Look for the tall black and red Japanese banners at the
entrance.
None of these classes are appearing in the Pennsic Site Book. If any of
these classes interest you or your friends, please print out the schedule
and bring it with you to Pennsic.
Please check the Pennsic newspaper for any schedule changes.
Thank you very much.
Your Humble Servant
