December Events 12.20.08

The recycle craft presentation that Reiyukai America had a chance to present in July was popular among the librarians and library users. This was how we were able to receive an invitation from the Pasadena Public Library to organize a "Holiday Handcraft Workshop." Even before the official starting time, five siblings arrived and started to make the craft. Soon after that, a father and a son, a mother and a daughter, and a group of friends arrived, which almost panicked the instructors. However, believe it or not, it was the five siblings who finished already by this time and came to the rescue. They showed excellent team work in teaching carefully how to make the box to the persons who arrived later. They did a great job in teaching without the instructor’s assistance! The instructors were very amazed that the teens learned the important points to make the box even prettier so quickly. The assigned two hours flew by while the participants interacted with each other, or made  their second box. 
Our presentation in July was the cause for this month's event and for another event in January which Reiyukai America got invited to participate in. And in February, there will be another presentation in a Pasadena library. The Dec 20th event indicates that the seeds sown in July are leading us to a better result-- expanding our circle of friendship.
