Sr. YBA Ski Trip
Brian Tamekuni has graciously volunteered his cabin on North shore of
Tahoe near Boreal and Sugar Bowl. We will be going up on December 18th and
returning on December 20. All interested should email Kimi at
[email protected]
Holiday Dinner and Gift Exchange
We will be meeting at church at 6:00pm. To make reservations for the dinner please
RSVP by DECEMBER 18th. Names for the gift exchange can be randomly assigned after
all RSVPs are in and then we'll have at least the weekend to shop. How about a
limit of $15 for gifts. This should be a light-hearted and fun event,
even better that dinners FREE! The actual restaurant is still to be determined.
Let Kimi know where you want to dine.
The Tech Trip
Interest was voiced to go here this break. I just picked a random date.
We can meet at church and carpool over to avoid parking hassles. They are
actually having extended hours this particular evening and expect one of
their biggest crowds. It's $8 admission for the exhibits OR the IMAX show
or you can purchase BOTH for $13.50. If this date is bad and people are still
with family, we can change the date!
Let Kimi if you are interested.
New Years Information
We need several volunteers to help with the provision of refreshments.
Sr. YBA is supposed to provide pastries and juice after New Years Day service. If you plan
on attending or would like to help please call or email
Kimi .
Message Board
There is now a message board
linked to the Sr. YBA webpage. As Roy says:
"The purpose of this message board is simple. To share
ideas about Buddhism. Hopefully we can provide interesting and
compelling topics that can spark equally interesting and compelling
conversations. Feel free to to post responses to the weekly topics,
and meet new people at the same time! As interest grows, it is quite
possible that we can begin including games, contests, and events as
well. As always, your input is ALWAYS welcome, and we hope you
visit this message board frequently to check out what everyone has
to say. Keep in mind that all topics should
somewhat relate to Buddhism. However topics need not be serious
nor or original. We just want to hear what YOU have to say! Thanks
again for checking out our message board. Hope to hear a little(or a
lot) from each of you!"
