Good evening Family 9!

We hope that you are all doing well, and enjoying your summer thus far. We had a great weekend at U.S Nationals in Daytona Beach and are so proud of how Region 9 showed up to represent. Congratulations to all!

Looking ahead, our next Regional Event is the third annual Sisters of the Sun! This year we will be back at Wakelee School in Wolcott, on Sept 6th from 8:30 am - 3:00 pm. We have an excellent line up of instructors this year including our guest Master Kristina Ohlson from Region 1! 

As always, there will be a balance of fun, camaraderie, and of course Tang Soo Do training. This year, we are even offering SOS backpacks! Check out the sample attached. 

Trust us! It is an event you don't want to miss - just ask your friends who have attended in the past!
