As you can see we had quite a selection of wonderful food. With another table filled with appetizers and desserts.
We had three tables of happy diners.
We had our customary gift/raffle after eating. Every one brings a gift. The Club and the Muranaka Nursery also provide some gifts. In the Japanese tradition gifts are not wrapped.

Since I am the Blog Master I get to feature my gift. Each year I create a 5x7 miniature oil painting. This year Kanemi won my painting. He was very pleased to receive it, but not any happier than I. He is a long time friend who has helped all of us with our trees, and continues to be an inspiration.
