  • Club Meeting

    All:
    Tomorrow evening we are going to end practice a bit early and hold a club meeting.
    I have a few things I would like to discuss, but I am always willing to add any other judo related topics anyone would like us to address.
    At present, I was thinking of discussing the following:

    1. Spokane Judo branded clothing.
    2. Best ways to recruit additional members.
    3. Kata clinic, what other events should we organize?
      4. What else?

      See everyone tomorrow with all your ideas.
