Defense Against Bullies at Autism Awareness Fundraiser

[joesteph]

My boys' teacher, Master Noelia Lago, conducted a fundraiser for the Simpson-Baber Foundation, which specializes in autism awareness. A seminar for children on techniques to handle bullies was presented by Master Lago and members of the US Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan, including her own teacher, Master Denise Mullin. Kids and parents wore T-shirts that read, "Be a Buddy, Not a Bully." There was even a BBQ afterwards.

These are videos of my eight-year-olds, Patrick and David, in action:

Well, since I don't have a facebook account (I know, probably the only person on the planet that doesn't have one...and doesn't WANT one!)...I couldn't see the vid's. Maybe next time.

Thanks for trying, Montana. It's the thought that counts.
