Thank You so much for your support of the Mass Challenge tournament.
Whether it was your attendance at this event, your hard work at being a referee or score keeper, or your student's support, I greatly appreciate that you took the time and effort to support the 3rd Annual NEJUKCS and the Mass Challenge.
The series is off to another good start and many parents of the competitors thought that it was a very organized and efficient event. If would not have been as successful if we didn't have the support of the IUKF referees and the Sensei's who trained their students for these competitions.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the next tournament in the series, the New England Classic on January 23, 2005.
Thanks again.

Problems with my voice mail caused me not to return your calls with reference to attendance at the tournament.
I hope this has been successful.
In any event I was there anyhow and sincerely enjoyed the entire event.
This was a nice venue made possible by Len and his friends, and the spectators and participants did a wonderful job in presenting the Uechi Aura of good sportsmanship and the karate moms and dads are to be thanked in supporting this event.
PS. we even made GEM sensei do a little work ( as if he didn't love every minute of it).
The buck stops here at this level to preserve our art and to interest the youth, whom in the future, will be the rise or fall of our system.
Whether one believes the value of tournaments are necessary, just remember how other sporting events have succeded in popularity and preservation of other sports that many of us experienced when we were young.
It should be a fun experience for all who attend, and in this years Junior championship event, proved to everyone that our senior sponsor sensei excelled in the smooth operation of this event.
