Welcome
to Sung Ming Shu! If you signed up
at the dojo then you have probably received some
or all of this
information already. There are several sheets
and pieces of information here, though, that aren't
at the dojo.

If you've already filled out these 2 forms at
the dojo,
then you are all set.

Uniform
On the right is an illustration of the proper
placement of the patches on the uniform.
When you are placing the patches before sewing
or preparing to write or illustrate the name, be
sure to wear the uniform so that the name or
patch won't end up in your underarm.
It's also a good idea to have your initials on
your pants (by the tag) in case they get left in
the dojo.

| Fundraising Sung Ming Shu is a non-profit entity, and all of the instructors volunteer their
time.
This is why our dues are so much lower than most martial arts
schools.
We cover our operating costs with student dues, but we also
engage in fundraising for
Maintenance and Improvement (providing
new training equipment and repairs), the
Building Fund (money
we're saving to hopefully purchase the space we're in or to relocate when
our lease expires), and the Leadership Award (a scholarship
for Sung Ming Shu After-School Programs).
If you would like to make a tax
deductible donation to any of these, you may drop a clearly labeled check
in the box or use a credit card on our Donations
Page and earn some miles while you're at it. We'll send you a receipt
for your taxes.
