Spring Cleaning at the Main School

Needing volunteer hours?  Need some extra funds to help pay for an upcoming taekwondo competition?  Or do you just want to give back to Kim’s Academy?  Then KABBA has a great opportunity for you!  KABBA will be sponsoring Spring Cleaning (early) for Kim’s Academy-Main Branch during February and March. 

Below are the dates and times available to help clean the Dojang.  Any participant can earn volunteer hours, up to 4 hours.  Or, for students who are competing in USAT National or State Championships in 2020, scholarship opportunities are available for helping with cleaning, under the organizer’s supervision. Students will receive a $25 voucher, for each hour of cleaning completed, toward tournament fees and expenses, up to $100 (as funds allow, and depending on the number of students who sign up to work). 

After the approved State or National competition, students should submit copies of their receipts for tournament expenses, along with their earned vouchers to the KABBA treasurer.  The treasurer will then reimburse the student, up to the amount earned. 

Volunteers will report to Meridith Gierhart for cleaning assignments.  She will sign off on volunteer hours and distribute vouchers.  Volunteers under 10 years old must have a parent to help with their cleaning duties. 

Allowable expenses for scholarship redemption include:

  • Tournament entry fee
  • Hotel expenses
  • Fuel expenses
  • Airfare
  • Meals while traveling

Sign-up dates and times:

  • Saturday, February 1st: 1:00 – 3:00pm
  • Saturday, February 8th: 1:00 – 3:00 pm 
  • Saturday, March 7th: 1:00 – 3:00 pm

You do not have to be requesting volunteer hours or scholarship vouchers to help.  All volunteers are welcome!

Wichita Wagonmasters Chili Cookoff – 09/22/18

Kim’s Academy will once again be participating in the Wichita Wagonmasters Chili Cookoff, scheduled for September 22, 2018.  Last year Kim’s placed 3rd out of 90 teams that competed in the Spirit and Booth decorations category.  This year we would like to be First Place!  We are working on a Demo schedule and should have more details soon as well as location of the booth – please check back for updates.

At least 10 to 12 volunteers are needed to help with set up and cooking prep, which will begin at 8am.  If you sign up in advance you will receive a Kim’s Academy T-Shirt generously donated by KABBA.  Breakfast will also be offered to those who help (donuts, bagels, orange marmalade, eggs, and sausage).  If you are a coffee drinker please bring your own.

If you have any questions or can volunteer please text me at 316-641-3010.

Thanks,
