The board members informed the Governor on the vision of Master Moy, the aims and objectives of the Taoist Tai Chi Society he founded, and the activities of the Aruban Society to comply with these aims and objectives. The board members offered the Governor a 10th Anniversary t-shirt and invited him for the official celebration at the end of November 2009.

Oldest member has her 90th birthday

On Thursday October 30, 2008 the oldest member of TTCSA, Mrs. Dorothy Chamberlain, had her 90th birthday. Dorothy, who is a longtime Aruban resident, was born in New York City. She became a member of TTCSA in January 2007, at the age of 88, and since then practices twice a week. Very often a fellow member drives her to classes but, if need be, she takes her car and drives herself. In January of this year Dorothy had a very bad fall and broke her hip and arm. Much to the surprise of everybody, even her doctor, she was up and around in no time. While in hospital she practiced the foundation exercises and told everybody who wanted to hear it that this is Tai Chi.
We very much respect Dorothy’s joy in life and her tremendous sense of humor. We wish that she may enjoy practicing Tai Chi for years to come.
