You are invited to an aikido "Demonstration-Seminar" 31 July

I want to invite everyone to an experiment.
We at Forest Grove Aikido have been asked to do an aikido demonstration Sunday 31 July.
The demonstration will be part of:

"Fiesta in the Park" on July 31 at Harleman Park in Cornelius, Oregon sponsored by the Ford Institute 2016 Leadership Program. The theme for this all-ages, multicultural event is We are Washington County/Somos Washington County. Their goal is to offer a free, fun event that offers great food, entertainment and activities for all ages in celebration of the people and cultures of western Washington County.
I have decided to approach the demonstration more like a seminar. I will be there from 3 to 6 p.m. running aikido classes for the members who come. The objective will be to train, answer questions visitors ask, and conduct short introductory sessions for people who are interested.

Everyone is invited to a barbecue at my house in Forest Grove afterward.

I'm using SignUp.com to organize this event.
