Seniors Activity Program
Amy Imai, Aiko Sugimoto and Reverend Koyama with the members of the Senior Craft Program.
The Seniors Activity Program meets on Thursdays from 9 AM to Noon in the YBA Hall next to the hondo (main temple). Participation is open to the seniors community. People are welcome to drop–in and participate in the activities and crafts. For more information, call the Mountain View Buddhist Temple office 650 964-9426.
The program started in February 2002 and the original committee members were Yas Shimoguchi, Allan Nara, Chuck Uyeda, Amy Imai and Miyo Takegami and Richard Endo. Aiko Sugimoto joined a year later. When Aiko became President Elect, it opened the door to the Craft Program joining the existing Seniors Activity Program, with the support from the original committee members. On May 5, 2005, the Senior Craft Program started.
Today The Seniors Activity Program is very successful with about 55 ladies and men enjoying each others’ company weekly, sharing ideas. Also making crafts supporting our bazaar, boutique and the many fund raisers. We welcome anyone that wishes to join us. We want to express our sincere gratitude for the many monetary and material donations that we continue to receive. The proceeds are used to supplement lunches, trips and special activities that are planned during the year. These donations enhance the operation of our program.
