Subject: The 20th Year Anniversary and Events
To my friend and brother in the Arts - Soke/Grandmaster Frank Sanchez
I would like to extend my thanks and the appreciation of our schools and the Federation for the magnanimous gesture of hosting the Pai Ceremony - under the auspices of the WHFSC. To me this was one of the most important events in my life - and the participation of so many present underscores the brotherhood and family of values held by the membership of this organization.
I am very proud to be a member of the council and we will continue to support the programs and events in a much larger way. Our resources are at your disposal - please, anything I can do to be of service as we begin the growth and outreach of the WHFSC will absolutely be my pleasure to accomplish.
Your brother in the Arts - David

I really had a wonderful time this year. met some very awesome people. what an honor to have been apart of it.
Great event, I always come away from this gathering re-energized and with a renewed enthusiasm. It was great to see everyone again. Looking forward to next year.

Honestly a great event, I very much enjoyed meeting new people and sharing in our dedication to the Martial Arts! Many thanks to Soke Sanchez and the advisory council.
Thank you for making all of us feel so welcome you definitely put on a quality event!
I am deeply touched...thank you GM Frank Sanchez for keeping me on board may God bless you.
Thanks for organising this great event with great people :)
Thanks for running a great event.
Beautiful sentiments Soke Frank, yes, the event was just great. A beautiful 20th Congratulations.
This was a wonderful seminar. It great being around grand masters who were actually participating and demonstrating instead of walking around saying I am the highest ranking person. IT was grandmasters over 60 and 70 teaching and not breaking a sweat. This was great. Can you spread some of that to Chicago. Thank-you for inviting me to this wonderful event and recognizing me. IT was a pleasure networking with everyone and learning from each other.
It was indeed a event to remember. Thank you all for making us so welcome.
GM Sanchez, Congratulations on your fully successful 20th Anniversary. The entire event went off with organization and quality. Thank you from myself and the IAMA Members that participated.
Congrats my friend. Looks like it was a glorious time ... as expected. So sorry I was unable to make it.
GM Sanchez, It was an honor to be associated with so many great martial artists at your 20th anniversary celebration. Thank you sir.
Congratulation !!!
FANTASTIC EVENT - I want to thank
Home from Orlando now, it was a great time at the Soke Council, and my award is awesome, not for looks but what it represents! I attended some great martial arts seminars and thank all those who taught the class's, you all did great!
Excellent Sokeship Concil event with back to back seminars by grandmasters, and hall of fame banquet.
Fanelli World-Class Event!
What an experience! This is a phenomenal organization of the greatest martial arts legends. But, without the support of our students and friends, we couldn't have accomplished what we did. Thanks you all!
I really enjoyed myself... it was HONORED to be there... ous
Just getting to Oklahoma from the World Head of Sokeship Council Hall of Fame Event in Orlando, Florida. It was an awesome 20th anniversary celebration.

Dear Grandmaster Sanchez
Congratulations on the 20th Year Anniversary of the WHFSC and thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this special event! Had a great time at this year’s event and on a personal level, several items made it extra special. For starters, I was pleasantly surprised to learn seminar leaders had a full hour to share their art. I have had the privilege of presenting at this event for several years now and the full hour made a significant difference since it allows more time for meaningful interaction with participants. The booth was such a kind gesture, we appreciate it tremendously. Your student, Chris Marquez did an excellent job of overseeing the scheduling of the presenters and with me in particular his follow up in the days prior to the event was impeccable. Your son Mathew made it a point to visit and congratulate me and share kind words about my 17 month old daughter. These gestures are examples of how small details contribute to our overall experience. I attended my first WHFSC event back in 1997 where I received an award for “Master Instructor of the Year”. Fifteen years later we are truly grateful to be a part of this 20th year Anniversary!
With all my Gratitude and Respect Sir, may God continue to Bless You and Yours,

Grandmaster Sanchez,
Your efforts and determination to bring together and maintain a council of honorable and legitimate masters in the ,martial arts is truly commendable.
You have achieved what many have failed to do. I know, I have been around long enough to see many of them come and go. Within the Sokeship Council you are surrounded by honorable warriors and good friends……
Brother, it is a big Martial Arts world out there, yet when we all get together, it is not so big.
Aloha to you and my brothers and sisters in the Sokeship council. You can count on me and the Pai Lum Tao family.

GM Sanchez,
Thank you ever so much for your expeditious care in sending out the award and documents.
We were very impressed with the activities that you planned and put together so eloquently. It went beyond from just being another professional program and friendly meeting of martial artists. We praise your efforts which has an appreciative meaning to us……but moreover, for those youngsters who are just beginning to rise and shine amongst the many martial arts stars that attended this gala affair.
