PKC a sponsor at Charity Walk

April 15th, 2010

The Penang Kendo Club is officially a ’sponsor’ at the Hospital Pulau Pinang – MPPP Charity Walk 2010.

The MPPP invited PKC to help raise awareness of the event by performing at the carnival to be held in May.  We were therefore invited to attend the press conference held at the General Hospital’s Auditorium.  Dixon Lim, the Captain and President of the Club went on stage to greet the Directors of the Hospital, and he distinguished himself by bringing a Shinai to show the directors.  Emi Yamazaki, Co-Founder and Committee Member was also there to support the event.

For those wishing to participate in the Walk, it will be held on 23rd May at the Polo Padang from 7:30am.  The walk is only 2.4 KM along Jalan Residensi.  Participants will need to pay RM15 to join, but the proceeds collected will be used to buy wheelchairs, pampers, supplies etc for the cash-strapped General Hospital, specifically for the poor who cannot afford medical treatment.  The Kendo-ka will then be performing a demo at around 11am. 

Do come along as there will be plenty of activities  like a carnival and show support for the 2nd largest public hospital in Malaysia!!

This week, Shiobara family, who have been with us for the past 2 years; will return to Japan.

It is heartsick for all PKC members to see them leave :(

We wish them to continue excelling in Kendo and looking forward to their return in this Summer.
