Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone's stomach is filled with turkey and other good food when we come back to school on Monday. Just so you know, there will be no fencing this Friday because we have no school. It's pretty obvious, but just so EVERYONE knows. I am grateful this Thanksgiving for our soon to arrive fencing equipments that school will provide. I am going to pre-order what we want, and the transaction will soon take place. Also, our club has gotten an invitation to an open fencing tournament at James Monroe High School on December 9th (Sunday). We will see how many of you guys are interested at today's meeting. We will start fundraising to purchase our fencing patches. Rendered design will be shown at today's meeting. That's about it.

P.S. Phillip Han is our new Vice-President of the club.

See you soon, gobble gobble!
~Jonathan.

Food sale on Nov. 30

Thanks for spreading the word. We can either do the club food sale (which requires a lot of work), or we can just cut to the end, and pay $20.00 each to purchase an underarm protector. Think about it, and give me your answer on Friday.

Sincerely,
Jonathan

The next tournament coming up.

Hey, the indidvidual foil tournament is coming up this Saturday, October 13. The location will be at Chaminade High School in West Hills. This is the school's address: 7500 Chaminade Ave. West Hills, CA 91304. I will arrange transportation so don't worry about that. I encourage you to bring $20 each just so you can buy drinks, food, and snacks when you get thirsty from fencing or get hungry after the competition. On Wednesday, you will have the opportunity to vote whether we should meet three days each week for fencing from afterschool to 4:30 or meet two days a week from afterschool to 5:00, the decision is yours. Also, we can see if everyone chips in a little, we will bring a cooler with some sandwiches and gatorade. I will also hand out the 2008 fencing schedule from the scholastic fencing league.

See you Wednesday,
Jonathan Kim

FENCING. YES, TOMORROW!

Hey guys, sorry for the confusion. Yes, THERE IS FENCING AFTERSCHOOL TOMORROW. We will do our normal routines and finish around by 5:00 PM. See you after school tomorrow. SPREAD THE WORD!

This Wednesday

Hey guys, this is just a heads-up on fencing this Wednesday. I might have to leave early to attend a presentation from Dartmouth University at UCLA, where my college preparatory program, Higher Edge, has organized. I apologize for the inconvenience, perhaps we could reschedule a day. Can I have some feedback? You can contact me at fencingdude@sbcglobal.net
