Photos from the 2008 Extravaganza are slowly coming online.  This year, we had three different photographers: Mr. Chris Baddeley, BTSD; Ms. Kelly Burke, BTSD; and Mr. Tom Marker, BTSD.  You can view the collection as it comes online here.

Congratulations to Alexis Bohland, 4th Gup, Buckeye Tang Soo Do, for being chosen as the recipient of the 2008 Region Five Scholarship!  Alexis received this award in a large part due to her service to BTSD as Treasurer and President, as well as her academic achievement and community service.  If you are interested in applying, we will soon be accepting applications for the next round.  Please stay tuned!

Welcome to the new Regional website. We have chosen this new format as an easier way to share and organize important regional updates, photos, videos, and more! Stay tuned over the next few days as the page changes to bring in all of the old info and more.

Please don’t be offended if you don’t see your schools logo in the above banner.  The simple truth is these were the only logos I had access to when making the page.  I hope over time to improve this.

It’s hard to believe that Fall is almost upon us.  With Fall comes our next get-together: the Master’s Grand Extravaganza.  This year’s Extravaganza will be held in the Chicago, IL area.  You can download the paperwork here.
