Aw snap! Glad you asked that question Josh. Somehow, that issue went
completely under the radar. That puts a damper on things (though it's
good we thought about it now rather than after the festival)

So yeah. What is the dealio on that?

UCSC club.  I am not going to be able to teach karate on campus at
this time.  I have not done any foot work to make arrangements for
OPERS or class times knowing that I can't give the time which would be
necessary to make the club successful.  Regretfully, I don't see the
club being successful without a new instructor.  Although, I love
martial arts and Shotokan karate, I am not in a position to lead a
club at this time in my life.  I do not see the need to have an OPERs
demonstration and schedule class times if there is no instructor to
teach.  I wish you and everyone who has trained with me well.  If
there is someone who will teach please let me know and I will do my
best to support by attending class when I can.
