Summer Practices

Hello Everyone,

Rec services has asked us to remind everyone that the Forker building closes at 7:45pm during the summer. This means that everyone needs to be out of the building before 7:45pm. Please adjust and plan accordingly for after practice to make sure you are out of the building in time. 
 

Additionally, we were misinformed and the Forker building is closed on Fridays during the summer. As such there will be no Friday practices going forward. 
 

Sincerely,

Martial Arts Cabinet
