The University of Texas at Austin WTF Tae Kwon Do Program

Greetings Old Horns,

I hope this newsletter finds you all well.

March 3, AAU Regional Qualifiers, Houston TX

The Team recently came back from AAU Regional Qualifiers this weekend in Houston. Here are the results.

The next tournament on the schedule will be Collegiates held at Texas A&M this year, March 30-31. The Team will be spending their spring break in Austin training hard and preparing.

Paul Cho made a visit to the team this past weekend. It was great to see Paul (again) and have the team listen to his experiences. Paul is also the older cousin to Team member Sam Kim. Thanks for coming out and supporting the Team Paul!

New Website

The website has been redesigned and updated recently. The new design will now allow Team, Club, and Alumni members to create an account to share and post photos and information. http://utwtftkd.roffletown.com

Alumni News

Paul Cho has been involved with the ice cream franchise Piccomolo and they currently have 15 stores in Texas and California with two more opening in Texas. Paul is also still involved with running his father's dojang in the Woodlands, TX. To visit Piccomolo, follow the following link http://www.piccomolo.com/.

Correction: In the last newsletter I stated that Jessica Lee is currently in residency. Well, Jessica has recently returned to Austin for a 6 week rotation at Brackenridge Hospital and trains with the Club every Tuesday and Thursday and has informed me that she is in her 3rd year of Medical School, not residency. She then proceeded to kick me in the stomach. Thanks for visiting Jessica!

Congratulations to Wai Lee and Dan Cameron on their new jobs!

If any of you all have news you would like to share with the rest of the alumni, please email me and I will gladly post it.

Fundraising News

We are currently at $225 out of our goal for $1000 to donate to the Club/Team with more pledges on the way. Again, the Club/Team could really use our help and I highly encourage Alumni to make a donation. You will also receive the year's tshirt for your donation.

Alumni Gathering

The Club/Team is planning to have an Alumni Gathering this year after Collegiates. It will be a great opportunity for Alumni to see each other again and to meet with the current Club/Team. I will keep you all posted when new details emerge.

Again, I'd like to hear from you all. If you have any news you would like to share with the group, please feel free to contact me.

Hook'em,

Mike Tran
