News from Denver

It had been five years since Denver had a Teacher Accreditation Course so the Colorado teachers looked forward to the June class with great anticipation. It was a well received event with most of the local and three out-of-town teachers attending for all or part of the week. Fourteen new teachers were accredited, eleven of whom are located in the Denver-Boulder area. The other three new teachers are from Sedona, AZ, San Diego, CA and Winchester, VA. It was a great experience for all and we are looking forward to the next course which will be held in October.

There are now about 18 interested teachers in Colorado with about 3-5 more expected in October so we have formed a loose organization. Viola Moriarty is our Good Karma distributor. Mike Merriman was drafted to be our chairperson for awhile and we had our first combination meeting-practice-potluck July 24 at his home. We decided to hold our next meeting in one of the city’s large parks to show off the nice weather-proof T’ai Chi Chih banner Mike recently purchased. All the teachers are encouraged to bring their flyers as we expect the banner and our practice session will attract the attention of the public. Some of our new teachers are teaching already and the rest have classes planned.
