MVBT YBA News – September 2025

Maui Trip in July

Thank you to all of the Temple members for supporting our YBA’s fundraisers this year!  This trip wouldn’t have been made possible without the support of our Sangha.

Our members had an amazing time traveling to Maui, and getting to sightsee with our advisors was an unforgettable experience.  We had a wonderful time eating lots of food, hiking, and learning about how Obon is celebrated in Maui. 

Obon

Running the Polish Dog Booth at Obon was a great success this year.

Thank you to everyone who purchased Polish Dogs at the Obon Festival! 

Our members also had a great time helping hang signs, set up booths, and hang lanterns. 

Summer Coast District Activity –  Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

YBA attended the Coast District Activity for this summer, held at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  It was a great way for members to catch up with each other before the first meeting and make the most of the summer weather!
