Dear Master Crawley Berry,

Many thanks to Master Gene McClone, and additional instructors from Gentle Palm Martial Arts and to you for arranging the instruction of our Tai Chi class on Saturday, November 17th at Parish Life Day in the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware.  This was an incredibly successful event and the students of the Tai Chi class were very pleased with their workshop.  The evaluations for the Tai Chi workshop were outstanding as well as the comments.  We all thoroughly enjoyed all the instructors – they were so kind.
Thank you for agreeing to do the workshop with very little notice, it was incredibly gracious and professional. Again, many thanks to Gentle Palm Martial Arts.  You all were great!!
