2008 Archive

These notices appeared on our web site during the year and were moved off as they became obsolete. They are in reverse order — most recent to oldest — except for the calendar of events, which is at the end. Links were good at the time we posted them, but they often go bad after a while — we don't guarantee them.

This archive covers January 1 - July 4, 2008

Belt Test — June 6

The next belt test is scheduled for Friday, June 6, 2008. Please get your completed application, check, and (children only) copy of your latest report card to one of the Masters or Instructors BEFORE the test day. (The application is used to record your test score, so we must have it before the test begins.)

6:00 – 8:00 p.m. — All adults plus children, high belts

There will be no classes during the tests. Be on time and look sharp. Uniforms should be clean.

Click on Promotion on the side bar for help getting ready for the test. There are photos and videos of all taegeuk and black belt poomse on the Kukkiwon's poomsae web page. (A high speed internet connection works best.) Double click on the video to enlarge it.

If you need to make special arrangements regarding the belt test, please check with Master Kim or Master Baek before the test day.

McLean Day 2008

Our school's demonstration team will not be performing at this year's McLean Day after all. Sam Roberts, Director of Community Events, wrote us:

"Sorry, but we have the McLean Day stage booked. We decided to do more professional acts this year and see how that goes."

If you would like to let Mr. Roberts know (politely) how you feel about this decision, his contact information can be found on the McLean Community Center's staff page.
