Random Updates

We actually raised 757 lbs of food for the Bellingham Food Bank. There was a slight mix up that I won't go in to now, but 90 more lbs were found, so that's great!

We have a tournament coming up on December 2nd. It will be a non-competitive, dry tournament that is open to everyone. Novices are strongly encouraged to come and fence! You do NOT need a USFA membership, knickers, or electric gear. The club can provide some jackets, foils, and masks to club members. Entry fee is $5. We'd love to see everyone there!

The practice tonight was small. Mike taught a foil lesson, Greg taught a saber lesson.

We have been discussing sweat shirts and t-shirts, so if you haven't been to practice in a while and want one, you may want to show up next practice. Patches are on the way as well.

Upcoming Tournament/Food Drive!

We have a foil/epee tournament this Saturday (the 18th). Foil starts at 9 am, epee at 1 pm. The entry fee for each weapon is $10. Hope to see everyone there!

We had a food drive for the Bellingham Food Bank a couple weekends ago, and the results are in! We raised 667 lbs of food and $158.24 for the food bank, the most we've raised yet. Thanks to everyone who helped out.
