The following is a message from Enrica Sensei, previously sent in an email:

I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support and enthusiasm that was shown at our Dojo Auction Party on Saturday. Thanks to everyone, the night was a huge success—filled with fun, supportive energy, and a true sense of community spirit.

To those who helped organise the venue, coordinate contributions, and arrange the tables—your hard work behind the scenes was truly the foundation of the evening. Everything ran so smoothly, and the atmosphere was perfect.

To our generous donors—thank you for your contributions. Your gifts added so much excitement to the auction and played a vital role in our success.

To our talented MC and Auctioneer—your skills brought energy and engagement to the room, making the event both entertaining and memorable. The way you managed the evening was nothing short of masterful!

To those who provided entertainment—your unmatched skills elevated the night, keeping spirits high and ensuring a great time for all.

And, of course, to everyone who attended, bought raffle tickets, bid on and bought auction items—thank you for your generosity and enthusiasm. Your support directly impacts our dojo’s future, helping us grow and move forward.

The success of this event not only raises essential funds for the dojo but also reminds us of the incredible community we have. We couldn’t have done it without everyone, and we are truly grateful.

Thank you once again for your support, generosity, and for making the evening so special. We look forward to more wonderful events together as we continue to grow and strengthen our dojo.

With deepest appreciation,

Enrica Cheung
