Happy Thanksgiving to you all and your families. This month, our Ikebana Chapter felt like family. Participating in the Hana Tsutsumi workshop to create beautiful 'Kifune', paper wrapping containers for flowers, especially since it's near holiday time, was enthusiastic with much sharing and collaboration.  Twenty members and guests were excited by how the arrangements felt like a flower garden.

In addition to these festivities, our member, Doris Botshon received her Sogetsu Teaching certificate, third grade, from her Sensei, Pat Bonarek.  Congratulations Doris.  Her flower name is 'Matsu Tei', pine garden.
