The Advisory Committee for the Moore and Hufstedler Funds approved of a generous sponsorship of approximately $1500, for the purchase of a punching bag, a kicking bag, body protectors, mitts and instruction videos. The club is grateful for the help, and our Assistant Instructor, Pamela Logan enlists some of the benefits of the equipment in the impact statement.

Following are some pictures of club members practicing with the newly bought equipment.
