Doug Stein, Kevin Carr, Michael Panzner, Mitchell Kaplan, and AAU President Jo Mirza, who were part of the first AAU Reads event.

A heartfelt thanks to AAU Taekwondo for inviting Michael Panzner, along with our Taekwonderoo friends, to participate in the inaugural AAU Reads event. It was a pleasure for Michael to collaborate with fellow authors Doug Stein and Kevin Carr, supported by the exceptional efforts of AAU President Jo Mirza and Books & Books founder Mitchell Kaplan, to launch this exciting new literacy initiative. We’re eagerly anticipating more great things to come! (Photo courtesy of AAU Taekwondo).
