On December 30th Salle Mauro celebrated a highly successful 2005 fencing season with an end of year party. Fencers were presented with a certificate of achievement and a gift to honor their commitment to the sport. Salle Mauro would like to thank the fencers, families and coaching staff for a highly successful year and an even better 2006! We are proud to have such committed athletes and parents. Without them, we could not have achieved the results we did.
