Dharma School Brunch 2019

Dharma School Welcome Brunch 9/15/19, 10 a.m.

Hi everyone,

We hope you all had a great summer vacation and are getting back into the swing of a new school year! It is that time of year for Dharma School too, so we hope you will join us for our annual Welcome Brunch this coming Sunday, 15 Sep, at 10am in the Tsuji Center Sangha Hall. We will have some light continental breakfast goodies to munch on while we introduce our teachers and walk through the activities and schedule for this year.
Please note that the Tsuji Center building is still under renovation, so we have PUSHED THE START OF OUR DHARMA SCHOOL FAMILY SERVICES AND CLASSES BACK TO OCTOBER. The classrooms should largely be done by then, although the kitchen and fireplace room will still be a work in progress. We will chat more about all of this at the brunch on Sunday.
Please let us know if you have any questions in the meantime. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
In gassho,
