Cr Deirdre Diamante, Mayor of Manningham,Wearing the sacred mayor necklace, she solemnly stepped onto the stage and said to everyone:
How incredible that we can learn from a world class master – for free right here in manningham.
These tai chi classes not only improve our community’s health and fitness but also our mental and spiritual wellbeing, increasing feelings of inclusion and connectedness.We have an aging population in Manning ham, and we want to support our residents to live long and healthy lives.Tai Chi is the perfect example of an activity that all ages can join, including our older adults, to keep moving and stay active.

If more of our residents come to these classes and practice tai chi, we can build a healthier, more resilient community.We encourage all our community to get involved in tai chi, and to consider an apprenticeship.

To hear that Wendy is continuing these classes at age 70 is inspirational. I think the greatest honor we can give her is to prepare the next generation of masters who can continue this great program, to inherit Wendy’s love of tai chi and hopefully attain the same same akills as her

On behalf of council, I also thank the AWCC tai chi charity organization, its volunteers, and its apprentices

For the first time in their lives, 60 Chinese and Western disciples knelt down on one knee to hand in the letter of apprenticeship, and they were still a little at a loss.It’s rare to experience such a high in life,but when they do, it can be intoxicating .

A unique apprenticeship ceremony opened the eyes of people from different countries, nationalities, and age groups, and deeply understood the infinite cultural heritage of China’s 5,000-year-old state of etiquette and the profound connotation of oriental civilization.

The 30-table Master apprentice banquet is full of attention from everyone on the stage. This is a visual feast of ancient civilization oriental culture. Her charm is far better than that of seafood delicacies.
