My term as President will end in January and I want to thank everyone for their support over the past two years – Rev. Mukojima, the Cabinet, Board, Affiliated Organizations and the entire Sanga.h
Over the past two years, the world has opened up from the pandemic. At the MVBT, we tried – and succeeded – in keeping our Sangha safe and healthy.
While we had some “hiccups” in the last two years, our outlook for the future is encouraging:
- Our annual fundraising events and activities are growing
- Affiliated organizations are hosting several activities
- Attendance at major Dharma Services is rising
- We lost several of our beloved members and send condolences to their family and friends
- We are gaining new members including families with children
Please provide our new President, Julie Satake Ryu, and the cabinet with continued support.
Thanks again and Happy New Year!
With gassho,
Jean Shimoguchi
2023 – 2024 MVBT Board President
