REGION 2 “NATIONAL CHAMPIONS”
There are lots of words of encouragement and congratulations all over our Region 2 facebook group page, but I thought, Cort Stinehour, Sa Bom Nim said it best… here's what he said:
“I would like to thank everyone who supported this year's Nationals and Dan Leadership Convention. Seeing how so many practitioners came out to support Region 2 teams this year is a true example of what we can do when we support each other! I'm very proud of all of you! SOO BAHK!!”
