Governor's Proclamation

[DavidCC]

Coincidentally, National Martial Arts Day (NMAD) just happens to fall on the day that we are hosting Doc Chapel out here to Omaha (10/15/2005). So I'm not exactly sure where I am going with it, but I decidd to write to the Governor of Nebraska and ask him to issue a proclamation in support of NMAD since nobody in my state had done that yet this year. I don't really know much about NMAD excpet that it sponsors fundraisers for MA tuition scholarships.

So anyway the Gov decided to do so and I am going to Lincoln in a few weeks to be at the signing ceremony.

Should I wear my uniform or a tie?

And be sure to check out www.chapelomaha.tk for details about the seminar.

that's outstanding to hear. congrats to you and your school for the mere accomplishment! :asian:

Wear a gi with a dress shirt underneath and a tie

 

[searcher]

Go with the gi.

 

[FearlessFreep]

A gi with a tie and dress shoes

 

[Xequat]

How about a suit and tie with your black belt instead of a leather belt.


Good work by the way; that's very cool!

I would dress in a shirt and tie just because this is somewhat of a formal occassion.

In the spirit of bushido!

ok... maybe I can find a compromise


gi top
school t-shirt
Tommy Hilfiger tie

gi pants (pressed and creased!)
no socks
Kenneth Cole alligator shoes


how does that sound?

 

[Andrew Green]

My serious answer - Where a suit.

or, wear a nice, pressed, bright white gi.

But don't try to mix the two, it always ends up funny looking

Ask the Governor's secretary or public relations liasion how he/she would suggest this be presented. Usually, the signing of a proclamation is a shirt/tie event, but considering this is to proclaim "Martial Arts Day", it might be appropriate to go full gi attire. Ask first and you can't go wrong there.

You're not going to get better advice than that. Leave it to the ladies to know what to wear.

 

[DavidCC]

You would absolutely be welcome! As the organizer I would know best

I've gone out of my way to invite schools of many different styles! TKD, Hapkido, WC, and 4 different varieties of kempo or kenpo... anyone I could find

 

[BrandiJo]
