Congratulations to Chris and Josh on their promotions to sankyu.
It has been a long time coming for both of them but it is well deserved.
Just a reminder that there is no practice this Monday, labor day.
Hope everyone has a nice long weekend and see all of you on Thursday on the mat.
Just a reminder of the change in monthly dues starting in September.
Individual memberships are now $40/mo and family memberships are now $50/mo.
Thanks to everyone for paying your dues on time.
This might be interesting to some club members.

Here is the KXLY story on judo and the mask mandate. Thank you to Pacific Judo for coming and helping make this a success. If you haven’t watched the story, here it is.
See everyone with masks on Saturday.
After a more careful reading of the DOH order, it looks like we all need to wear masks while working out.
The order gives some exceptions to the mask order but it specifically says:
“This exception does not apply while the athlete, coach, or official is not actively engaged in the sporting, coaching, or officiating activity or to indoor gyms and other fitness facilities, such as dance, yoga, and martial arts facilities”
So put on a mask and come and workout (we will be adjusting practice to make this easier).
Just a reminder that Pacific will be joining us tomorrow. KXLY is sending a reporter to ask us about the impact on us of the new mask mandate. I hope to see everyone there.
Spokane Judo community:
As you know, the Department of Health updated the statewide mask policy last week (8/18). It went into effect yesterday (Monday, 8/23).
Here is the link for those wanting to see the Department of Health announcement:
link to DOH Update
The important guideline related to contact sports was an exception to the mask requirement for indoor athletes:
NO MASKS NEEDED FOR “…Athletes who play indoor sports and who are actively engaged in competition or practice (masks are still required on sidelines and in team meetings).”
What does this mean for Spokane Judo?
We know this is a hassle.
Our goal is to stay open. Let’s all work together to avoid being closed down.
Hopefully this will be over soon.
Thank you for your help in keeping Spokane Judo open!
KHQ came to the dojo on Thursday and did a very nice story about judo in general.
I wanted to thank everyone for coming out and making the club look good.
Thank you also to all the Pacific Judo members that made the story a success.
Here is a link to the actual story.
I thought it came out great!
