$5 BUILDING CAMPAIGN
We were thrilled to have Eric the Trainer help spearhead this campaign, but sadly, he has passed away. He will be so missed. So, it’s up to us to carry the mantle to raise a total of $5 million. We are going to start this differently. We figure, there are about 3 million or more people that do martial arts or have friends that do martial arts. If everyone gave just $5 minimum, we can reach our goal. In turn, for one year, we will list their name on a page on the Museum’s Website. So, look on Feb. 1 for the launching of the “Here’s my $5 for the Museum!”
MARTIAL ARTS JEWELRY
Finally, things are moving in that direction. Be Feb. 1, we should have a line of fun jewelry to wear with the museum logo and Asian-themed items here at the museum. So, get yours today at the museum and later on Amazon.
DRAGONFEST 2023!
We’re starting early this year, now that Covid is behind us. On the first week of February, we will be announcing ticket purchases and booth purchases for Dragonfest. It’s going to be a blast!
