The gym will be closed from Dec. 4 through Dec. 12. There will be no practice during that week and for Monday Dec. 12. We will have practice on Dec. 14.

We also will be off the week between Christmas and the new year (Dec. 26, Dec. 28, and Jan. 2). We will resume practice on Jan. 4 (Wednesday).

There will be no practice on Nov 23 as the East Central Community Center will be closing at noon that day.
We will work out extra hard before then to make up for missing practice.

The following students passed their tests for promotion. Congratulations to all on their hard work.

• Sankyu:

• Allen Monroe

• Yonkyu:

• Joey Bergman
• Jake Kitterman

• Yellow:

• Ethan Reynolds
• Jillian Bergman
• Lucas Lewis

Congratulations to all who participated in the 2011 Continental Crown. Everyone did a very nice job representing Spokane Judo.

• Jaime Kobara
• Cheyenne Neal
• Lucas Lewis – 3rd
• Graham Rocha – 2nd
• Abe Rocha – 1st

Just a reminder that there is no practice tonight.
See everyone Wednesday.

Everyone who is attending the 2011 Continental Crown tournament should register on-line at: Continental Crown Registration.

The introduction to judo class scheduled for this Saturday, Oct. 22, has been cancelled.
Apparently there weren’t enough people registered to attend. This event will probably be rescheduled for sometime in the future.
Thanks to everyone who agreed to come and help out. I will probably hit you all up again sometime soon.

On October 22, we will be teaching an introduction to judo class for several groups of visually impaired kids and adults. I would like to get several volunteers to come and help teach the class. The class will be next Saturday, October 22, from 10:00am-2:00PM at the Warehouse Athletic Facility (click here for directions).
More information about the event is in this document: Spokane Paralympic Experience.
If you can only stay part of the time, I would still appreciate your help.

Please let me know at practice if you will be able to assist.

There will be no practice on Halloween.
Have a good time.
