Master Chung’s students at Renton’s Black Belt Academy havea raised $520 from a garage sale to benefit Renton Area Youth and Family Services (RAYS).
Seventeenchildren (the youngest was just three) and teens collected used toys and other treasures for the sale. The participating youth will present the check at RAYS’ August board meeting.
Master Chung, who teaches Tae Kwon Do, said he believes teaching martial arts is about more than kicking and punching.
“If I am able to teach my students that being a black belt leader is to stand up and make a difference in society, I feel that I am teaching real martial arts,” he said.
RAYS has been providing mental health, substance abuse counseling, in-school youth development groups and family support in the south end since 1970.
Locksmith wins
Seahawks jersey
Tom Swanson, owner of A-1 Locksmith & Vacuum in Renton, won the autographed jersey of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck from the drawing at IKEA Renton River Days Qwest Event Booth.
Naturalists sought
for Cedar River
Interested in fish? Good with people? If so, volunteer naturalists are needed on the Cedar River this fall.
Naturalists will receive 20 hours of training from fish and watershed experts in September and early October. Then they’ll spend three weekend days along the river, talking to the public about the spawning salmon and the natural and human history of the Cedar River Watershed.
