The BWA General Membership meeting was held on October 8th. We extended our gratitude to Rev. Murakami for Minister’s Appreciation Day and enjoyed having Deidre Tegarden of the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center as our guest speaker.
The next Hosha day is scheduled for Thursday, November 2nd at 8:00 a.m. All temple members are welcomed to join our dedicated BWA members in helping with Hosha.
After months of preparation and coordination, the BWA had its 2023 Autumn Craft and Food Fair on October 21st. The fair was a great success, with participating local and Oahu vendors, and donations of plants and citrus to sell. Many thanks to our BWA members, Scouts, non-Kyodan members, and members of Lahaina Hongwanji for helping with preparation, and numerous individuals who donated the wonderful baked items.
Happy Birthday to our members born in November: Yoshiko Fujiwara, Janet Inamasu, Faith Tengan and Misao Teng
