Our next gathering will be on Saturday, Feb.11, 2012.
The February gathering will focus on the preparation of the March 2012 event.
The time is 4:30PM and the location is the meeting room (the room next to the Venerable's office) in Hsi Lai Temple.
As usual, a pot-luck dinner will be followed after the discussion.
Since our March event is coming in less a month, we sincerely hope
that you can find your time to attend this important meeting. |
