Here is an interesting looking conference for martial arts
comparisons. It is actually a two day event, but the two days are
several weeks apart. The first day is this Saturday and the next day
is April 4th. Sensei Hank Prohm is listed as teaching a Shito Ryu
class this Saturday, and our own Sensei Douglas Bailey is scheduled to
teach a class in Highland Broadsword on April 4th.
Here is the website for this event:

In the middle of the two days of classes is the Eugene Asian Festival.
The web site for this event is not quite ready but should be available
soon at:

www.asiancelebration.org/

This is the weekend of Feb 14th (yes, THAT weekend...Oregon's 150th
birthday). There will be martial arts demonstrations at this as well
as many other demonstrations, musicians, food, vendors, etc..

Either of these events would be useful for Baileys Academy students to
attend and/or participate in.

Best Regards,
D. Beasley
