3 Friendly Reminder: Attention Parents and Students! Monthly Tuition Increase January 1, 2013 Please See New Brochures! Please note, prior to last year to assist our students and their families during difficult economic times; Tibon s Goju Ryu has tried to keep increases as minimal as possible. Unfortunately we now find we must raise our monthly tuition, because of our rising business operating costs. Effective January 1, 2013, an increase of an additional $5.00 per month, per student will be assessed. This nominal increase is less than.65 cents per class, and represents only a small portion of the increases we are experiencing. It is our expressed wish; these new tuition fees will not present a hardship to anyone, and please realize we always try very hard to give the best value in instruction and investment, for all of our students training in traditional karate and Kobudo. A quick survey of our local competitors, assures us we are offering quality instruction at a more modest rate, for up to twice the amount of real class-time instruction. Further, we feel we have a proven record of being a karate school that strives for excellence in developing our students to reach a national and international level of development. This is confirmed by our ability to place athletes on the U.S. National Karate Team every year, and our commitment to developing leadership in our students. We hope you understand the necessity to raise tuitions, to compensate for higher costs in doing business and in order to keep our programs at the high level of technical quality that you have come to expect. If you are interested in pre-paying your tuition, a discount program is in place, please ask myself, or Mrs. Tibon for more information. Thank you for your continued business, support and cooperation. Sincerely, Sensei Gene & Yvonne Tibon Tibon s Goju Ryu Fighting Arts Karate Schools Win for 3 rd Year in a Row! Thank Everybody for your Support! Congratulations Tibon s Goju Ryu Instructor Team! Listed in July 2012 San Joaquin Magazine & the Stockton Record Newspaper The Goju Gazette 3

All of our Leadership Instructors after receiving their Black Belts have also maintained an excellent grade point average has gone off to college or university to study for their degrees. Once they complete their AA, BA, or Master s Degree they apply for jobs, and find that a lot of what they learned in our Leadership Class has prepared them for the Management positions they may have applied for. We go beyond teaching great martial arts, we teach our students to be successful in life, understanding business, and customer service, by teaching them in their training in Goju Ryu Karate how to apply into their life skills.

6 CENTRAL VALLEY KARATE BOOSTERS CLUB The Annual Picnic, sponsored by the Booster Club was held on Sunday, September 23, 2012 at Micke Grove Park. On behalf of the Executive Board of the Booster Club, I would like to thank everyone who attended and supported this annual event. Everyone enjoyed nachos and snow cones, and the food provided by everyone for the potluck was outstanding as usual. Special thanks to Mary Pedraza for chairing and organizing this event and to Sensei Justin Love for co-chairing, providing the music, and organizing the fun activities for the kids. The kids had a great time with the games and dancing on the stage. Thanks also to Sensei Brian Embry for organizing and taking charge of the karate demonstration and to all the students who participated. Acknowledgement should also be given to Jon Orbon for providing the ice for the snow cones, to Pete Saunders for donating ice for the drinks, and to Martin Toy for donating the syrup for the snow cones. Finally, thank you to all of the volunteers who helped out with the preparations, who served snow cones and nachos, sold raffle tickets, made raffle baskets, came early to set up, and stayed late to clean up. Thank you to everyone who donated many items for the raffle baskets, including all of the Black Belt instructors who donated private lessons. Congratulations to all of the raffle winners. Without the Booster Club members support, volunteerism, and donations, events like this would not be possible, and the Booster Club would not be able to function and support our athletes. The Booster Club would like to continue providing funds to competitors to help offset costs. There are several karate tournaments coming up: Washington (October 2012), Canada (January 2013), Oregon (March 2013), and Las Vegas (April 2013).
