Hi gang,

NAFMA is becoming an interesting organization to be involved with
lately. THey were the organization that hired us for the big
Liondance back in May at the Pa Convention Center for their Hall of
Fame Dinner Banquet and opening ceremonies for their Martial arts
tournament the following morning. Not only did our people entertain
but also competed and did very well. So well it seems that many of
our memebers, namely the Blackbelt competitors are invited to the
NAFMA National Team trials to be held Sept 2nd at Rutgers Univ
Camden. Should we successfully compete and make the team (Which I
have no doubt) We will further represent ourselves NAFMA and the USA
in an international competition against Canadian counterparts in
Toronto Canada come November 18th. Presently Blackbelt members Sabato
Trent, Ben Outlaw, Shannon Boggan, Todd Grahm and myself will be
travelling down to Carlisle Ohio to compete in the Ohio extension of
the NAFMA organization's tournament schedule to further acquaint
ourselves with the organization, it's rules, members and officials.

For those who are interested in personally finding out more
information on NAFMA events, services and joining this organization
go to www.nafma.org

Cheers!
Mel
