| 2011/2012 Registration Fees |

Re: Registration Fees
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, THIS NOTE PERTAINS TO ALL OF US!!
Dear Member, Parents and Legal Guardians
Once again it?s that time of year when our yearly registration fees are due. As I?ve done in the past, I try to get the best price possible. This fee is to register you on our insurance policy. Your fee is a portion of the bill and Presti Karate pays the remainder each month. For our summer program members, the fee you paid covers you until 10/15/2011, when our 2010/2011 policy expires. The new policy starts 10/16/2011 until 10/15/2012.
We get a three tier deadline that we MUST abide to:
-IF YOU PAY BEFORE NOVEMBER 1ST 2011 THE FEE IS $42.00 PER PERSON
- FROM NOVEMBER 2ND 2011 TO DECEMBER 31ST 2011 THE FEE IS $62.00 PER PERSON
-FROM JANUARY 1ST 2012 ON. THE FEE IS $75.00 PER PERSON. NO TESTING OR CLASSES WILL BE ALLOWED UNTIL YOU PAY YOUR REGISTRATION FEE, EVEN IF LESSONS ARE PAID FOR.
Every year I?m able to work out a discount if we prepay our insurance. Sometimes it gets confusing as to what amount to pay, if you don?t understand, please contact Mr. Presti or the counter person right away to avoid any penalties.
All payments must be made separate from karate cost, such as lessons, testing, or supplies. Since we must send a certified check, there isn?t enough time to wait for checks to clear and the credit card companies get a commission. So, we must insist on CASH ONLY! Please make sure the counter person reviews your application for updates on your phone numbers, email addresses or any information that has changed. Also, make sure they mark your sheet and the envelope ?Paid? for the year 2012.
This notice is posted on our website, and in the lobby of each school.
Thank you for your support.

| Master Presti approved to write book for Grand Master Chuck Norris |
| Posted On 08-23-2011 |
Master Presti, has been approved to write the
actually martial arts biography of Grand Master Chuck Norris. Knowing GM Norris for over 30 years. Master Presti was always running into people who claimed their teacher taught Mr Norris. So many who did meet Norris, and perhaps said a few words about techniques, felt they can take claim to Norris's fame. Anyhow, In recent years with the developement of the MDS( Masters Developement Series) Presti felt Norris' martial arts back ground is a must, so we all know the truth behind his martial arts career. This book will not list movies, TV, commericals or his books our ICON did. Only who, when and where Mr Norris was taught. Last October, Presti was even more motivated to do this project while at GM Norris' ranch, when he toured his newly created so called life museuem. Presti saw several Black Belt certifcates. They will be a nice touch for the book. This October 2011 at the ranch, Presti will be spending more time with GM Norris to get the information right from his mouth, WHO DID TEACH HIM! |

That's right, The Presti Karate Centers is 40 years old in 2010. Although I can't remember when it opened, Actually I dont think it ever closed when Mr Pat Johnson left town when we took the original name. Kim Studio. We went though many name changes, Lets see, Kim Studio, Kim Karate Studio, Presti School of Karate,and now Prest Karate Centers!Im sure in 2010, we will have some sort of 40 year celebration. |
