PNS New Year "Party"Due to the Eaton Fire devastation in the neighborhoods surrounding the Pasadena Buddhist Temple, the 2025 PNS New Year Party was cancelled. But thanks to the volunteer efforts of a number of PNS members braving the rain and cold, the Party smoothly transitioned to a drive-thru/delivery operation with the distribution of 175 obentos and goody bags.
Invited guests included Japan’s Deputy Consul General Naoshige Aoshima and the Nisei Week Queen and Court. With the cancellation, Deputy Consul General Aoshima kindly sent a New Year greeting that’s included in this newsletter to be shared with PNS members. And despite the rain, NW Queen Morgan Gee, Miss Pasadena JCI Carina Sakimura, and Court members Amy Kubo, Caitlyn Sasaki, and Anita Komatsu came to Pasadena to assist in distributing the meals and to help with clean up. Irene Lee and Rosalie Sakaida were recognized as this year’s 88 year old “Beiju Babies” and were presented with flowers. The obento was prepared by Nijiya Market, the manju provided by Fugetsu-do, snacks from Ron & Cindy Dyo, and the Covid tests were from the LA County Health Department, courtesy of the late Garry Monji. |
