Master of Tapi Tapi Brian Zawilinski will be hosting/instructing a benefit seminar on September 24th from tentatively from Noon until 2:30 There is no set fee, this is a fundraiser to benefit the "mat" fund at MKKS, and to raise some money for the memorial monument (a life size statue of Professor) that will be erected in the town square of Hinigaran, Negros Occidental, PI.Contribute whatever you wish, there will be an anonymous donation box at the door.


Seminar will be at:

Middletown Kenpo Karate
749 Saybrook Rd (Tradewinds Plaza)
Middletown CT 06457

Brian Z. is an old and dear friend and a great instructor
 
Wow....that would be awesome.

What's the target dollar amount for the cost of the statue?

Also, what is the target date?

Is this going to be a long term project that might take a few events to raise the money for, or do you think you might have the proceeds after this event?

I am asking because I am wondering if there would be a chance for me to help out in a way besides just writing a check that might be more valuable.

Depending on the timing involved, I could host a benefit seminar here in MI and donate the proceeds to the project; and if the need is there perhaps other would follow suit.

I might have to get on the phone regarding this one for more info, but let me know what you can.

I think that erecting a statue of Professor in his home town would be awesome, and I would be happy to help out however I could...

I don't have all of the details to answer your questions. Brian Z. just got back from the P.I. and we have not caught up, other than email. I understand he has a short video presentation for before or after the seminar. I will endeavor to get more details later in the week and repost.

I caught up with Brian Z this morning. He had a great time training in the PI with some of the IMAFP senior masters. Master Bambit Dulay and Master Rene Tongson are spearheading the effort to get a life size statue of the late Professor. It will be erected in in the town square in Hinigaran, Negros Occidental. The current costs for the memorial statue are supposed to be around $1500 - $2000 USD. Keep in mind that for a statue - it is not alot of money over here, but it is alot of money over there.

The IMAFP will likely announce these plans in the very near future. Master Brian is hosting the previously mentioned seminar to get the ball rolling. He asked that anyone interested in hosting a seminar of this type contact him, as to coordinate the efforts. He can be reached at imafincinfo@sbcglobal.net
 
Hi Brett,

Is there any way an escrow account can be established for the statue project? It would be cool we could make donations, especially on August 28th via a direct deposit wire or paypal.

If this is done, count on my donation.

Thanks,

Harold
 
That's a great idea Harold. You should email Brian Z. He will contact Master Bambit about it to make sure it is okay. To my understanding, it is IMAFP's project, so it would have to be okay with them

Just a bump up of this thread. Maybe some of the New England area MT folks will make the trip up for this one. Brian Z. will share some video footage of his recent trip, along with some great training at the great name your own price rate.

There is a very cool Tibetan Restaurant a couple miles from the school for an after gathering
 
Modarnis,

Please count me in as a tentative yes as well :)

Still trying to get off and figure out the details... I may just end up showing up...

For those who may miss the event... will there be a way to send a donation towards the project?

Bedst Regards,

Andy
