After more than a quarter century at the Wilkins School Community Center (WSCC), it’s time to change things up! As of January 1, 2024, we have moved nearby, to the storefront dojo that is Shaolin Studios, on South Braddock Avenue, a few doors south of Hutchinson Street. We are grateful to Shaolin Studios for allowing us to use their space, which includes plenty of permanent mat space. I will post photos from the new space soon. Our first practice there is January 2, 2024, at 8 pm.
Here we are, cleaning the mats before moving out. I am deeply grateful to the WSCC for hosting us for the past 26 years. I won’t miss setting up and putting away the mats each class! And I won’t miss the glitter that recently stuck on our mats (in small concentrations), remaining on the floor long after whatever event brought it into the room, defying our purification attempts! But I will miss the community spirit of the place. It was a privilege to use this non-profit space, and I wish them well with their new programming directions. We’re not moving far. I expect you’ll still be able to find me helping out at the annual WSCC Book Sale.
