It's Official - The ISSA lives

For some time now we've been working on putting together the International Shou Shu Association. Well it's official. The ISSA is an official entity as recognized by the US government. Friday we got our incorporation papers.Now there's lots more to do. Actually now the fun begins.The ISSA will have several divisions and lots of opportunity for participation. If you'd like to get involved in some way just let us know.The three founding board members are myself, Shifu Liz, and Greg Smith. Fot those who don't know Greg (and probably most of you don't. He's not a Shifu. So why was he chosen? Because he, like myself, was a very close friend of Da' Shifu. He spent a lot of time with him and knows very well what he would have wanted. So he was our first choice as the third board member.The ISSA will be a non profit organization. It's not yet. That's the next step. But the paperwork is being files with the IRS immediatly.The mission statement:To preserve and promote the art of Shou' Shu' for the benefit of mankind.There will also be an offshoot of the ISSA which is the Sheng Chi Foundation .If you'd like to be involved in any way (big or small) please let us know. It's going to be a big project and we can use the help.SSW
