Bring your own popcorn/snacks and drinks WITH A LID! (We ask that parents not leave small children unattended during this time.) What movie will be watch?  At this moment in time, we are undecided ... we are open to suggestions!  Email Mrs. Woods   Krey Lee Update Many of you know our Jr. Black Belt, Krey Lee Lowther, had brain surgery just over 2 weeks ago to remove a section of malfunctioning arteries in his brain.  God protected him and he made it through the surgery with a complete success and never asked for pain meds as he recovered in the hospital.  He is recovering at home now with his family but it could be several more months before he is released to go back to "normal activity" and karate classes because his skull is still knitting back together.  Continue to lift Krey Lee, Faye and Krey Sr. in your prayers as they go through this recovery process together.

Thank you for your continued support of Dunamis Karate.    Sincerely,   Lindy Woods & Allison Bunton   DUNAMIS KARATE
