Dinner and a Show

Dinner, Show, Services Auction, Kick-a-thon, purpose.  The purpose of this event is twofold.  First, we want to give our TKD family an opportunity to shine in front of their TKD family in what they do outside of the Dojang.  Second, the proceeds from the event are used to offset the costs incurred by our athletes on their bid to become national champions.

The show was a showcase of the many varied talents of our students.  We encouraged all levels of singing, dancing, magic, acting, juggling, and anything that they have worked hard to perfect outside of the amazing TKD skills which we already get to see regularly. Every year it has been a great joy to see our students bravely stand up in front of their TKD family and share their talents, from the 5th grade band students and our college level performers who receive full ride scholarships for their talents, to a 4 year old art showing and a slice 'em dice 'em infomercial.

Dinner is centered around 40 pounds of Master Rosbarsky's Bulgogi, Korean Bar-B-Q beef, that is loved by all.  There was also many other goodies in the potluck.

The Kick-a-thon performed by the 2012 MTC Junior National Team is always fun to watch where athletes kick for 1 minute to earn pledges to help them get to Dallas for this year's nationals.  The Services Auction was a first this year.  Our teen athletes offered themselves for chores, yard work, baby sitting, private lessons in Taekwondo and maybe some other things as well.  They went to the highest bidder.

There are still ways to help out the athletes by purchasing raffle tickets for the Kona Mahuna bicycle from Missoula Bike Works, concessions, donations...
Thank you for making this years' Dinner and a Show awesome!
