 Suo-Oshima Town to receive ¥300,000  Iwakuni City to receive ¥200,000 The 6th Oshima Camp meeting brought out more than 500 people from 17 different prefectures in Japan. This is larger than previous years. People came from Yamaguchi, Hiroshima, Okayama, Shimane, Tottori, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Saga, Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Kohchi, Ehime, Tokushima, Hyogo, Osaka, Saitama and Tokyo prefectures! With visits from the Vice-Mayor of Suo-Oshima Town and the Mayor of Iwakuni this year’s meeting was a wonderful success. The success would not have been possible without all the volunteers and staff that helped organize and execute this event. The proceeds after expenses are allowing for a donation to not only Suo-Oshima Town but Iwakuni City also. These donations will be delivered in May of this year.

Visiting Sazanami-en

Posted in WebBlog on March 30th, 2009

Several of us went to visit Sazanami-en, an elderly care facility on Oshima Island, on Sunday. There was 10 club members and about 29 resident there for the visit. Everyone had a great visit and we are all looking forward for the next one. Even with a language barrier we had several members who speak both languages and helped those of us who do not. The reward for this visit was a filled heart. I don’t believe any of us walked away without being touched deeply by these people. Sunday was a day to tuck into your memory box and keep for all time. We thank the facility for allowing us the priveldge to interact with these amazing people.
