Happy Monday Team!
I want to first apologize for whatever happened last week that sent the newsletter out like four times. Technical error? Or was I just really excited about what was in that e-mail? Perhaps we will never know..
(It was a technical error! But I was also excited about that e-mail) 
I’m going to attempt some heavy lifting with this newsletter — basically, we are throwing a party of sorts. A five year anniversary party. There will be a fully catered spread. There will be the UFC Fight Night playing on a projection screen. THERE WILL BE CAKE.
However, being the over-preparer that I am (is that such a thing.. to be too prepared..?), I’m asking that all attendees RSVP so we can provide the best experience for everyone.
Food will be provided by Thai Street Food, which is a venture run by one of our own famlies here at the academy. They are awesome.. check them out!
A couple additional details about our anniversary party:
- The viewing area will be set up “lawn style” on the mats, so consider bringing a clean lawn chair, blanket, pillow, or whatever. It can get uncomfortable sitting upright for, like, hours. We’ll have some space for people to hang out and stretch their legs as well.
- BYOB — bring whatever!
- All attendees will receive a free raffle ticket, with prizes awarded by a random drawing.
- All attendees can also compete via fight predictions for a second series of prizes (the full fight card can be found here).
- This event is open to adult students past and present, parents, staff, and their guests. Bring whomever (and make sure to account for their presence by securing a “ticket” for them at the RSVP link)!
I’ll follow up with additional info as we approach the date. Hope to see you there!
In the meantime, we have a ton of training to do. Let’s get after it. I’ll see you on the mats!
