A grateful thank-you to Bay Area Teachers

Were it not for the uninterrupted service of Bay Area teachers in leadership and support roles over the last 17 years, The Vital Force, Journal of T’ai Chi Chih (and connecting link for all TCC practitioners) may not have been published continuously or even survived. Our debt to them, as fellow members of the greater T’ai Chi Chih Community, is immense.

Their efforts, as Linda Braga said (pg. 15), toward “a greater purpose, to promote T’ai Chi Chih worldwide” have resulted in a cohesive local community, particularly in the East Bay, where The Vital Force was edited, published and/or assembled for mailing for the majority of the last 17 years.

Thank you to each of you who gave of your time and energy, particularly editors and staff members, and the VFJ volunteers who came to every mailing (or nearly so). May the cohesive community you have formed continue to strengthen!
