In the January Newsletter I reported that the
SLOBWA was hosting the Tri County Seminar
on March 25, 2017. There has been a change
in plans so please cancel that date. We are
having a difficult time coordinating our
calendars for a day that is agreeable to the four churches. Watch for an email or a phone call when we settle on a date.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and partici-pated in the Crab Fest! It was another huge success. Our social hall was full of people enjoying the delicious crab and barbecued beef dinner!

Upcoming events are:

• BCA National Council meeting from March 2 to 5 at the San Jose Betsuin and San Jose Marriott Hotel. SLO Buddhist Church and the Buddhist Temple of Salinas are hosting the Hospitality Room on Thursday, March 2, at the Betsuin.
• On March 11, the Monterey Peninsula Buddhist Temple is hosting the Coast District Buddhist Women’s League seminar from 9 to 3 pm. Currently 6 members from SLOBWA and Guadalupe Buddhist Church are planning to attend. It will be an informative and fun day. If you are interested in joining us, please let me know.
• March 12 after Shotsuki Hoyo Service we will be having a bead bracelet making workshop to prepare for the upcoming Tri-County BWA Seminar. Join us for a productive and fun session.
• SLOBWA will conduct its monthly meeting on March 25 at 9 AM followed by takuwan and kimchee making demonstrations.
