As you know, the Texas Gulf Coast (and soon, Louisiana too, looks like) has been hit with a massive natural disaster in the form of Hurricane Harvey.<br />
<br />
They are calling it the largest flooding event in US history. &nbsp;11 million people have been affected so far (and you can't keep up with the numbers as it's still rising). Harvey is still sitting there in the Gulf Coast, like a really bad house guest who won't take the hint to LEAVE ALREADY. &nbsp;Lives have been lost - a miraculous few, compared to how many are at risk - and more will be lost in the days to come.<br />
<br />
The property damage and disruption to our economy is going to be a big problem for <i>years </i>to come.<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm well out of any risk area - Texas is, after all, BIG, and I'm in North Texas - but I have friends and training partners down there in the middle of it all.<br />

Lots of people have stepped up and done heroic things in the wake of this storm, but it's not over, not by a long shot.<br />
<br />
We have dedicated our&nbsp;<a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/114095182499830978691" target="_blank">+Metroplex Arnis Players Alliance</a>&nbsp;12th Gathering, set for Saturday, September 30, as a Harvey benefit seminar. &nbsp;All proceeds - every dime - will go to Harvey relief organizations.<br />
<br />
The Facebook event can be found <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1215504195259877">HERE</a>. &nbsp;If you are in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and ever wanted to try Filipino Martial Arts, this is be BEST event ever to get your toes in the water. &nbsp;<i>Plus </i>you get to benefit a great cause.<br />
<br />
I want to issue a challenge to each of you.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">I challenge your martial arts school, organization or training group to hold a Harvey benefit for relief efforts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
Hold a kick-a-thon, donate proceeds from a class or seminar, heck, host a blood drive, volunteer at a local shelter if you can... whatever you can do, <i>do it.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Our world seems to be full of conflict, and hate, and division. &nbsp;Let's counter that with doing something good. &nbsp;</b>This is a better use of our time than sniping at each other over the issues of the day, or obsessing over misinformation on Twitter, or what have you.<br />
<br />
If you like, I've whipped up a little logo for your event if you want to use it, completely free of charge and you don't even have to give me credit.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We can be heroes, just by doing what we love, for a really great cause. &nbsp;And thanks in advance for your help.</div>
