After 13 years at 40 N First Street in San Jose, the Fencing Center is 
looking for a new home in the San Jose area.  The Fencing Center of 
San Jose is a Non-Profit Charitable Foundation dedicated to the 
development of youth and adults through the disciplines of fencing.  
We have a WEB site if you would care to learn about us.  The URL is:

http://www.fencing.com/tfc/tfc.shtml

Our current location is being made available to us on a temporary 
basis by Fry's Electronics.  We need, however, to secure suitable 
space which is more permanent soon.

The kind of space we are looking for would be a space which has a 
dimension which has usable area which is >60' on one axis and ideally 
>80' on another, and preferably clear span with a >=9' ceiling height.
warehouse space would probably be ideal.

While we are able to pay rent, every $ spent on rent is a $ we don't 
have to focus on assuring quality safe equipment and high quality 
instructors for our students.

The Fencing Center opened its doors in 1981 ('83 @ 40N1st) and has had 
a very successful past boasting Olympians and National Champions among 
those who have trained, have been, and are a part of us.  Our Students 
learn discipline, focus, strategy and tactical skills which are 
invaluable in their future endeavors.  In the past 3 years our 
students have been accepted at institutions of higher education like 
Stanford, Santa Clara, and Princton, where academically they continue 
to excel as well as continuing their fencing careers in support of 
these institutions intercollegiately, domestically and 
internationally.  

We are striving to continue this fine tradition and any leads toward 
space along the lines we are seeking would be appreciated.
