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!

Dinner and a Show- A great time for our TKD Fam

Our annual talent show and pot luck will be held on May 4th at MTC.  This is a great family event for all our TKD families.

The Dinner:  The main course is provided by the Rosbarskys--very delicious Bulgogi (Korean Bar-B-Q Beef), so plan your contributions accordingly.

The Show:  This event originated to let our students showcase their many talents (outside of Taekwondo ability) in front of their TKD family.  To showcase a talent, be it music, dancing, acting, juggling or some other fantastic thing, students MUST sign up by May 3rd.  Please plan to keep it to 3 minutes or less as we have an incredibly talented bunch and want to give everyone an opportunity to participate.

Also the National Team will be kicking in the Kick-A-Thon and auctioning their services as slaves (paid with donations of course) to add some more excitement to the evening.  So come with your list of chores in mind and our fantastically fit athletes will help you check them off you list.

It all boils down to a very exciting evening.  Tickets on sale soon!

Stop By the Snack Bar

Our youngest athletes who will be traveling to Dallas for Junior Olympics this year have put together (with the help of Ms. Annie Graham) a healthy snack bar at the TKD school where you can get your after school snack or a hot cup of coffee to make your afternoon at TKD an even greater treat. So skip the mad rush to find your kids a snack before TKD and pick one up at the dojang and help these young athletes offset their pricey trip to Nationals.

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

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

The main dish will be Master R's Korean Barbque Beef (Bulgogi) which will be accompanied by everyone's favorite dishes.

The entertainment will be provided by our multi talented TKD family (that means you). Sign up at the dojang to be included in the line up.  Act can consist of any type of talent that is entertaining for all ages.  The time limit per act is 3 minutes.  Please see Mrs. Rosbarksy 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 gather ing 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, dental cleaning and whitening worth $275, golf lessons from golf professional David Owens.  The Booster Club and MTC Junior and Senior National Team would greatly appreciate your donated items to be auctioned off.

You may also purchase $5 raffle tickets for a Kona Mountain Bike worth $1400 donated by the Missoula Bike Works.

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.

Dinner and a Show

Every Spring we gather for a very fun evening at MTC.  This year that evening, our Dinner and a Show, will be Friday May 7th.  Dinner and a Show is a combination MTC student talent show, Korean BarBQ and Pot Luck, Kick-a-thon and Silent Auction.

The Talent Show is open to all prepared and signed up in advance MTC students who have a nonTKD talent to share.  So, think about your performance--music, theater, dance, or any other entertaining talent.

The Korean BarBQ will be prepared by the Rosbarsky's and all families in attendance are asked to bring a Pot Luck contribution, so dust off your best recipes.

The Kick-a-thon is a simple fundraiser for athletes going to Nationals and other students who wish to participate.  First, participants gather pledges. Then each person kicks for 1 minute and their total pledges are calculated and collected.

The Silent Auction is assembled by the booster club and the preceeds are used to help offset the cost of attending Nationals ($1500-$1800/person).

Give a little thought to how you would like to participate--Talent, Food, Kicking or an Auction Item/Items.

Dinner and a Show with a Kick

The first ever Missoula Taekwondo Center Dinner and a Show was a great success.

The evening started full of cheering for the Kick-a-thon participants. Thirteen students kicked for 1 minute each. . .as many times as they could. With a little preparation some students made the most of their 1 minute of kicking. Ryan Watson earned over $600. And the person with the most kicks over all, Andy Mikkola, was game when suddenly called to the stage from the audience.

We moved on to a fabulous feast provided by our MTC family and Diamond Bar Meats. Followed by an evening full of great home grown entertainment including singing, dancing, comedic skits and many instrument solos.

It was enriching and heartwarming to witness so many of our family members expressing themselves and entertaining us all in the process. From Austin Clark a fledgling French Horn Player to Viet Le a well practiced Violinist.

The event was held as a fundraiser for all individuals who wished to participate in the kick-a-thon and also for the National and Junior National teams.

Thanks to all who assisted in making this night great fun and a great success. Everyone who volunteered to set up, take down, cook, clean and participate had a part in making this a great end of the year celebration for our TKD family.

We plan to make this an annual event, so be thinking about how you will contribute to this school wide event next year. Better step up your singing in the shower.

MTC to Join Relay for Life

In recent months our MTC family has been touched very profoundly by cancer. currently several of our family members are actively receiving treatment for their cancers. Most prominently MTC Black Belt and long time student, Paul Befumo, was found to have a malignant rumor in his brain which he underwent surgery for at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. He is now at home and in the midst of Chemo and radiation treatments. Paul is still a devout martial artist practicing on his own and taking lessons once a week. Currently 2 other MTC family members are battling cancers of their own, and over the years we have offered our support to others in our TKD community who have faced challenges related to cancer.

All of these experiences have compelled us to become involved in the fight for our MTC family and against cancers of all kinds in our community. At this point in our lives it seems the greatest bang for our buck, so to speak, will be to pull together in an organized effort to raise funds that will be used for research, support and education. There seems to be a strength in numbers where fundraising is concerned and the American Cancer Society organizes the Relay for Life as a community wide event to bring Missoula together to fight cancer, so we jumped in the arena to join the fight.

Helping out
Our goal is to raise $5000 by June 20th.

We are selling luminary bags to be decorated in honor of or in memory of someone who has been affected by cancer. Bags are for sale at the dojang for $10 each, buy one or buy many. also you may donate in any amount.

We are still looking to round out our team of at least 15 people to run and/or walk around the track for 16 hours and join the rest of the fun at the event.

Your help in any way is greatly appreciated.
