March 2

Team,

Great job with our fundraiser Saturday. I know many have yet to break your boards, and many of you will be breaking in class this week, but so far we have raised $2,000 for our charities. I am blown away, and we are not done yet!! A Big Congratulations out to Doc Stagg, 6 BOARD STEP BEHIND SIDE KICK! Everyone, please do not run into this man's kick!

We will be getting ready for our first AMA regional tournament of the year all this week. The tournament is this Saturday in Poteau, OK. If you are competing, please let us know when you are in class. That way we can make sure you are properly prepared. The entry fee is $40 and all info is posted in the lobby. If you have any questions, you know what to do!

We have room for more to donate blood tonight. We have 25 on the sign up sheet, and looking for 25 more volunteers. If you are willing to donate, please call the school after noon on Monday and get your name on the list. We will also be holding classes during the blood drive. Come on, don't be afraid, those needles are not that big!

I have had a few parents and a few adult students express interest in traveling with me to Alabama this year to participate in a "life changing" experience. It is scheduled for March 25-29 & you are all invited to participate. More information can be found at www.ultimateblackbelttest.com, just click on the Alabama folder. It is a really "cheap" trip, as we will be sleeping on a church gym floor, and all food is provided once we get there.

Mr. Price is holding a tournament sparring seminar in an effort to raise money for his TKD World Championships expenses. Mr. Price will be traveling to Sweden in a couple of months go pursue a dream. His sparring seminar is not to be missed! He is only charging $30, and I would tip him generously on top of that! The seminar info is posted in the lobby. The seminar is March 21 from 2:00 until 5:00.

Moms, we are going to offer a FREE F.A.S.T. Defense class for Mother's Day, which is typically $99 per person. We have room for 20 participants & spots will fill quickly, so watch for the sign up sheet. It will likely be scheduled for the Friday before Mother's Day. For more information, go to our website and check out the FAST Defense page.

Yours,

Master Edwards
