KARATE is on-hold beginning April 15!

As you hopefully already know,
the Sensei must leave town for an extended period to settle his business in his hometown.
Therefore effective April 15, there will be NO Karate classes until further notice.  He expects to be gone 3-4 weeks, though it could be longer.
We WILL resume classes as soon as possible and
Will notify everyone by email when this occurs.
For those that have paid already you will be pro-rated for the unused portion of the tuition and a credit will be put on your account.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please plan to join us when class resumes!
Questions?  970-318-0150 or questions@weehawkenarts.org
