At a recent monthly meeting, Grandmaster Doug Cook, owner and head instructor of the academy along with members of the Chosun Leadership Team, presented the proceeds of the fund raiser to representatives of the Warwick Lions Club.

This valued, charitable organization is celebrating its 75th year serving the citizens of Warwick.
