Any idea about the hours for the shinsa at W&M? Amalia has a School of Rock Battle of the Bands on Sunday the 27th, from 1 til 6. She wants to try to attend both. Even if she shows up a little late to the concert, she might be able to. Parenthetically, the battle of the bands is to benefit CHKD, and might be fun, for anyone who wants to attend.

SEUSKF members:
We need to start getting commitments from members (or families, girlfriends, boy friends, whatever) to be volunteers for teh 2011 National Championship on August 11-13 at Emory University in Atlanta. august 11 is training day and tournament is 12-13.
I have contacted every dojo in our federation and received conformation that they received my request from all but one club. Please begin collecting names and email addresses to send me. I need these names and email addresses by the end of April. Please talk to your membership now.
We have four months from today to get this done, or be considered second rate by the rest of AUSKF.
Take care.
Ken
