Simon Morgan-Russell is a member of the Toledo Zen Group and a professor and administrator at BGSU. He has spoken with Akiko Kawano Jones, lecturer at BGSU in Asian Studies, who is also a tea ceremony practitioner, about having a tea ceremony at the Japanese tea room that is a part of the BGSU campus. There is room for about 20 guests. There will be a small donation, to be announced. Please post a comment to this posting if you are interested. There will also be a sign up sheet at the dojo/zendo. Please indicate your name(s) and any dates you are available starting in February on Friday evenings only, and for the next four or five weeks; we will then pick a date, contact Ms. Jones, and set a date. Any questions or comments, see me.

I am definitely interested, and my husband may be interested, as well. Possible dates for me include 2/1, 2/8, 2/22, and anything in March.
I've made some discreet inquiries and it seems best for us to offer a donation of $100 ($5/person) to the Fuji Kawashima Scholarship Fund. Fuji, who died suddenly from an undiagnosed rare disease last year, was a good friend of Akiko, and he was the founder of BGSU's Asian Studies Program and our new (and much needed) Peace Studies Program. I think that a donation from the Toledo Zen Center to this fund would be a nice thing.
I am also interested. I will not have class on Friday evenings, so I am flexible on that day. Keep me posted. Thanks
