After this action-packed 60-minute workshop, enjoy the comedy movie "Samurai Cat" (2014) about a samurai who used to be a feared swordsman, saving an adorable white cat. Join us and unleash your inner samurai!

**Parking is free on the main campus on Saturday.

***Workshop Venue Change: The workshop will be held inside Cuddy Hall due to the weather forecast of 80% rain this Saturday. The workshop was originally scheduled to be held outdoors (Cuddy Quad), but we have moved the workshop indoors.
