3ut the accomplishment couldn't 1ave been achieved had you mem­~ not responded so enthusi­~stical1y and in such great lumbers. A total of approxi­~tely 100 members participated .n the 2-day \-{ork detail to the ltrong and effective appeal

Actually, the project can be divided up into three phases: 1 - painting, 2 - carpentry, 3 - feeding.

For the painti ng phase of the project, Bob had ever reliable YOSHIO INOUYE as the big luna. But Yoshio was more than just that. Besides doing a little painting, he vras the purchaser of the paints, after his esti­mation job had been cond~cted days prior to this work weekend. He supplied the majority of the ladders and platforms and can­vases needed, besides doing all the paint mixing that was neces­sary. And, due largely to his effort, time and sacrifice, the cost ,dll be very, very surpri­singly low. Just you watch and seel Thank you for a job well done, Yoshio!

Of course, credit should go also to a couple of deserving "pros" ~ho amazingly completed the painting of the ceiling and sur­rounding high walls - dancing on the scaffolds so lightfooted­ly - Hideo Doi and Ben Kobayashi.
