TCC Center Update

At the Albuquerque Teachers’ meeting in October, discussion about the T’ai Chi Chih Center in Albuquerque brought forth enthusiastic ideas as we began to see the possibilities the Center would provide for the community. At the January meeting, there was a strong feeling of unity when seventeen teachers joined for group T’ai Chi Chih and discussion of the Center.

Conversation flowed from a discussion of books that might be available for sale at the Center to a summary of the benefits of gaining nonprofit status. A brief survey revealed that we are close (on paper) to the projected start-up money necessary, that staffing hours can be covered and that more T’ai Chi Chih classes, the sustaining income for the Center, are needed.

Discussion will continue during the next monthly meeting. Now teachers are keeping a watchful eye for a possible site, the prerequisites being:

1. A cheerful, bright place, at least 1800 sq.ft.,
2. Relatively easy access from major roads or Interstates,
3. Ample parking and a safe, well-lit area at night.
