Interested in becoming a referee? Want to earn some money?
Below is an email from BJ Swayne from the Salle Palasz TriWeapon Fencing Club:
If you are interested in becoming a referee Salle Palasz Triweapon Fencing Club will be hosting a referee clinic taught by Charles Greene on April 28th.
Gaining your referee rating will open up opportunities for you to serve your division, your club, and possibly the BWCFC as a referee, while also potentially opening up opportunities to earn some extra pocket money. Additionally, as a fencer the class will help you better understand the rules which referees are applying while judging your fencing and therefore make it easier for you to "fence the ref."
So, if you're free that day, please join us for our referee clinic.
Thanks,
BJ Swayne

Important Fundraising Opportunity from Landon!
The Verizon Center is giving us a fantastic fundraising opportunity. We receive, as commission, the greater of the following:
(1) 8% of revenue gained from each register we staff, before taxes (average revenue is $8000.00 per event, so we get about $640.00);
(2) $60 per volunteer
I expect that, with 10 volunteers, working one event will give us at least $600.00. With 20 volunteers, we could earn at least $1200.00. As such, these events are crucial. We can't afford to miss out.
Because these fundraisers give so much dough, anyone who participates in these fundraisers will get two fundraising credits (as if you had attended two bake sales). Attending two of these events will give you three credits (five total). So doing two of these Verizon Center events will cover Nationals and another tournament for you. A third will cover three tournaments.
However, there are a number of requirements placed on us. Most important, all of our participants must sign a contract, and attend an orientation on Monday, February 20, from 6-8PM. This is mandatory for those who plan on doing Verizon Center events.The location is 'Dewar's' - apparently a place in the Verizon Center off of F Street and 6th Street.
Important: You cannot be late to the orientation, or these events. Otherwise, the team gets fined, which defeats the purpose of fundraising. 8] So, if you cancel without telling someone, you won't be able to go to the tournament you planned on attending.
