Dear Family, Friends, and Martial Arts Community,

This past May, one of our own lost almost everything in the Nashville floods. They had to make their way within minutes, as the water quickly rose, to higher ground on which to wait out what has now been recognized as the single-most costly, non-hurricane flood in our National history.

The Nashville flood has been declared a National Disaster, yet the National news has given it very little attention.

What can you do to help? 

A Red Belt is always "the first to help and the last to leave." Please make a donation of money, gifts-in-kind via our online registries, or of your time, so that we can give a little bit back to a family that has given us all so much. A trust fund has been established to help the Wieczerza family. 

And, please, pass on the information about the effects and aftermath of the Nashville Flood. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell everyone.

Thank you for your continued help and support!
