2022 Mt. Kisco Dojo Picture

We assembled on Sep 10th for our first “in person” Mt. Kisco Dojo Picture since 2019. It was a landmark moment after the Covid-19 related challenges we navigated in the meantime.

Enclosed below are the original two photos.

Credits: Rick King took the initial photos. Naoto Kihara put together the final photograph with the special design banner.

Looking forward to keeping this great tradition going.

Takahashi Dojo Holiday Party & Toy Drive 2022

Our traditional Holiday Party & Toy Drive was held on Dec 10th. The turnout was great, with an exceptional buffet of tasty foods, and lots of toy donations for those less fortunate.

After the party, 4 large bags of toys were distributed to selected organizations who make sure the toys get delivered to those in need. Leftover food was also donated to local food pantries.
