THANK YOU ALL for our Cultural Bazaar

Although we had some trepidations about reopening the Cultural Bazaar after missing the last two years — in other words, our last Bazaar was in 2019 — the Temple is very grateful to all who made 2022’s June 5 Bazaar a success.

THANK YOU TO ATTENDEES

Our attendees are the best. Many of you even helped us promote the event ahead of time on Facebook and other socia media. So glad you could join us! We saw many appreciative audiences members for our presentations, and happy eaters at our Food Booths.

THANK YOU to BAZAAR VOLUNTEERS

Here is the note from Bazaar Chairs LuAnn Lee and Mildred Kawaski:

Thank you everyone for your hard work over the last week and beyond.

It paid off, the Bazaar was a success and after 3 years, we were able to provide a place to gather for our Sangha, family and friends.

We are so grateful for your precious time to make the Bazaar possible,

In Gassho,

LuAnn and Mildred
