As we approach the year-end, our Finance Committee extends a friendly reminder to settle (finalize) your 2024 gojikai (membership dues). Your contribution not only reaffirms your commitment to Wailuku Hongwanji Buddhist Temple but also supports our community service initiatives.
Considering the upcoming tax season, we encourage you to chat with your accountant about exploring early payment options for your 2024 dues. Acting before the year concludes would be fantastic, and your prompt response is deeply appreciated. Mahalo!
Now, you might be wondering. “What is Gojikai?” It is your annual/quarterly/ monthly financial contribution that fuels the heart of our temple’s programs. While suggested amounts range from $12 to $30 monthly, remember, membership is not defined by the pledge sum- any amount that suits your capacity is welcomed and valued.
The funds from Gojikai are vital for our temple, covering operational cost, utilities, and much more. Being a member brings you a host of benefits, including voting rights, eligibility for the Board of Directors, event invitations, preschool priority, newsletter access, facility use, and participation in our affiliate organizations.
If you are considering joining or renewing your membership, swing by the office, grab a membership application, and become an integral part of our vibrant community today. Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to Wailuku Hongwanji Buddhist Temple!
