Dinner and a Show (with Kick-a-thon)

Join us for some great entertainment and tasty dishes, On Friday May 7th from 6-9pm.

The main dish will be master R's Korean Barbque Beef (Bulgogi) which will be accompanied by everyone's favorite dishes.  If you are interested in making a Korean dish but do not have a good recipe, we would be very happy to give you one.

The entertainment will be provided by our multi-talented  TKD family (that means you).  Sign up on the counter to be included in the line up.  Acts can consist of any type talent that is entertaining for all ages.  The time limit per act is 3 minutes.  Please see Mrs. Rosbarsky if you have questions or have special considerations.

We also will hold the Kick-a-thon during the Dinner and a Show.  All MTC students may participate in the kick-a-thon by gathering pledges in advance and kicking as many times as they can in 1 minute.  This is a super easy and fun MTC Booster Club fundraiser.

Sign up for the talent show and Kick-a-thon forms are on the front counter.

Again this year we will have a silent auction with many great items like a custom made Belt Rack, Hand Made Soap filled basket and a pamper yourself basket.  The Booster Club and MTC Junior and Senior National Team would greatly appreciate your donated items to be auctioned off.

Funds from the Silent Auction, ticket sales and individual Kick-a-thon funds will be used for our athletes and coaches to offset the expenses associated with competing at and traveling to USA Taekwondo Junior Olympics and Senior Nationals this summer.
This is an incredibly affordable evening of fun, food and fellowship for your whole family and our whole (TKD) family.

Tickets are on sale at MTC: $3 for kids, $5 for adults or $12 for a family of 4.

You Are Invited to Hang a Picture

We were recently inspired to hang some photos of one of our students caught candidly doing his Poomse on the beach, and would like to invite all of our students to contribute to our wall of photos.

Please go through your photos and find your best martial arts pictures of you, or other MTC family members, performing techniques or enjoying MTC or other TKD related events.

We will hang the photos (please make copies for us and keep the originals/files) you bring to us on the wall behind the bleachers.  Please choose a wood toned frame of an appropriate size for the picture.

Yearly Odor Reminder

It bears mentioning this time of year that we, as a group, sweat.  And when you sweat in an enclosed space it is smelly.

SOOO...Please remember to be proactive in fighting odors.  Clean Doboks.  Clean Feet.  Clean bodies.  Wear Deodorants.  Our noses thank you.
