Dear Tai Chi & Health Qigong lover:
The 2013 New York Tai Chi & Health Qigong Festival was successfully held on June 22nd at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The hot weather didn’t weaken your warm enthusiasm–hundreds of Tai Chi & Health Qigong lovers like your good self, dressed in uniform festival T-shirt, formed a huge phalanx under the blue sky and white clouds. On a vast lawn by the lake, we together put on a graceful, magnificent and stimulating performance of Tai Chi and Health Qigong.
In this context, may I, on behalf of the organizer, register my sincere gratitude to Healthfirst, Starside Drugs, Royal Care, United Alliance of New York Licensed Acupuncturists, Chinese American Restaurant Service Association, New York Life and Mannings Pharmacy for their generous support. My heart-felt gratitude to New York City Councilor Peter Koo for his participation in our practice and his encouraging words. In particularly, my appreciations to the Tai Chi & Health Qigong schools and groups hailing from New Jersey and New York for their active participation. Without your support, the event could not have become such a brilliant success.
Below are links to some of the local media coverage. Enjoy.
