7/9~SUPER SENBEI SATURDAY
SUPER SENBEI SATURDAY is coming on July 9th!
Have you ever had a taste of our delicious Senbei (Japanese Crackers)? If you have, I don’t have to tell you how good they are!!! Our Sangha will be gathering on Saturday, July 9th from 8am to 4pm to make these delicious crackers which we will be selling at our Obon Festival on Perry Street fair weekend.
This is a fun way to get to know your fellow Sangha members or if you are new, it's a great "first step" to coming to the Temple. We will need about 30 volunteers for the day.
See the sign-up sheet at the Temple. Many shifts available, or Email SpokaneBuddhistTemple@gmail.com for more information. The Temple will be providing lunch for our hard working Sangha members too! Hope to see everyone on July 9th!
