ArtNight Fall 2009, a Success!!!!

Reiyukai America's Oreintal Fusion Handcraft was present at the Fall ArtNight 2009! We introduced to more than 120 visitors the idea of recycling craft.

We would like to thank the Pasadena Public Library for inviting us to be at the event for the second occasion and let us use the main hall as the workshop venue! Thank you very very much!

Also, we cannot forget the great volunteers that we had on that day! We are sure that all the visitors had a great moment of making a craft because of all the volunteer's generosity, kindness, hospitality and a great smile! Thanks a bunch! We look forward to work with all the volunteers again in the future!
