There’s Good News: Local karate team members volunteers at Think Wild on their journey to getting black belts

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Members of Team Tempest from Bend's Odyssey Martial Arts spent Sunday (4/12) volunteering at Think Wild Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation Center from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Team Tempest are working towards their black belt in Tong Soo Do karate. Part of their journey towards a black belt involves a community service project.

The various projects the team worked on included picnic table construction, installation of pavers for a small mammal enclosure, replacing handicap parking, as well as moving gravel & rocks.

"We would love for the city of Bend and beyond to know what an amazing place Odyssey Martial Arts is and how important it is for the kids to take part in this fulfilling community project," said Julie Furnas, the mother of a black belt candidate on Team Tempest.
