CRIME VICTIM’S AWARENESS WEEK WOMEN'S SELF DEFENSE
April 19-25, 2015
During the month of April the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) helps lead communities throughout the country in their annual observance of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. This year, NCVRW was observed April 19-25, 2015. We put on our free workshop for Women’s Self Defense on Saturday, April 25th. The class was open for ladies ages 13-over. This year’s workshop was well attended. The ladies worked hard and learned many new skills and techniques that could help them defend themselves and be aware of their environment. I want to thank my team of outstanding instructor/coaches that assisted throughout the day.
T-SHIRT AND HOODIE FUNDRAISER
teespring.com/american-karate-t-shirts
We are trying to raise funds to purchase a special cushioned flooring that will protect our youth and senior students from injuries due to falling. Slips and falls on hard wood and indoor-outdoor carpet over a concrete can cause serious injury that can set back a student’s training time. We have uni-sex and female t-shirts as well as pull over hoodies. The colors are white, red and grey. Go to teespring.com/american-karate-t-shirts to view and place an order. You can also get to the campaign site from our websites, Pinterest and Facebook pages. Don't worry, your credit card won't be charged unless the minimum is reached. Orders are printed and shipped when the time expires (May 18th) on this fundraising campaign. Time is ticking we need to hit this fundraiser hard. Get with your friends and family. You can expect your package to arrive around 7 days after printing starts.
