Getting Started


Welcome! We are getting started with a different means of communication. Our school and students just finished a fund raising event for St Jude Children's Hospital. Although, we publicized it throughout the county, in the paper, with banners, on public internet sites and the local radio, we had fewer people than I would have hoped. Regardless, we made over $1300 for St Jude and that is a real accomplishment for our first year. Everyone that has pledge envelops should get them in as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone for making this event a success.

The event was almost without incident. Matthew chipped a bone in his hand while trying to break an unbreakable board. A good rule of thumb for everyone to remember..."if it doesn't break the first time, don't try the same thing again." We can always be reassured that boards will never attack us.

I will try to post something each week. It may be something special about our students, our style, a kata, or general information about our center. Keep visiting our site http://www.pulaskikaratecenter.com/ for pictures and postings. Let us know your thoughts on this years event and your recommendations to attract more people next year.

Invite your friends and their friends to our demonstration on the Pulaski square, "A Taste of Giles County" Saturday June 20th.
