Lunar New Year's Greetings 2024
Hoping this message finds everyone of you coping well with the cold weather. We have an upcoming workshop for February 3rd, at Toronto Botanical Garden with two levels for participants-
Landscape for Group A (using pampas grass, evergreens and driftwood...)
Moribana for Group B (using Lucky bamboo and other floral materials...)
This summer, our 50th Anniversary Celebration will be held at the Toronto Botanical Gardens on June 9th, 2024.
We have confirmation from HQ that the visiting master will be Assistant Professor, Ms. Hozuki Oyamada from the Council of Ohara Professors. A very special workshop for our chapter members will be conducted by Oyamada-sensei before our big day.
It is a long journey for an ikebana chapter to reach 50 years. We recognize that our organization depends on members’ dedication and their voluntary hard work.
Hoping we can pull together in celebrating the Toronto Chapter's entry into the next fifty years with team spirit.
A rebooted Chapter newsletter is underway, and thanks to Carol, we will be seeing it soon.
Lastly, our Facebook page grew in 2023, from just under 300 to over 700 followers. The chapter outreach is now all over the world.
Looking forward to sharing more updates this spring,
Mitzi Yau
President
