TOURNAMENT THANK YOU
Thank you to all parents, students, and volunteers who helped to make our 25th annual tournament such a wonderful success. I am very proud to have a tae kwon do family that is so generous with their time and energy.
After twenty- five years, the memories made at this tournament are as meaningful to me as my first. Thank you again. I look forward to spending another twenty-five years with you. - Moonsung Song
