Well, this had to be one of the best free programs the shelter has ever done. With over 40 kids coming out for the free lesson on Saturday and 10 instructors it really couldnt have gone any better. The boys put on a sick little demo for these kids and parents, you should have seen the looks on some of their faces especially when they got free tee shirts!! THANKS to all the instructors who made this possible!
