Kamakura Chapter #51, Japan

May Meeting and AGM

Our May regular meeting was held at Park Hotel in Yuigahama with AGM and new officer installation. Many members participated. After the AGM, there was a performance of ‘Songs, Kimono and SDGs Fashion Show’! Yukari, a singer, gracefully sang with her beautiful voice, wearing a dress made of recycled materials that would have otherwise been thrown away. Some songs brought laughter, others tears. Everyone was invited to sing and dance. We were very satisfied with the excellent performance. Our final meeting of the season was a wonderful event with ikebana exhibition by members, the silent auction, and delicious hotel lunch.
