What a wonderful Double Celebration we had Sunday at our Sept. meeting! About 50 people showed up at Shirley and Kim Kinoshita’s house for great food, moon cakes, and fellowship.
Wow! Thank you, Shirley and Kim, for your hospitality!
Look at our four smiling presidents(from left to right): Henry Bender, John Marienthal, Marsha Chan, and Jana McBurney-Lin. John gave a slideshow of 45 years of our chapter history.
Our co-chair, Winny Lin narrated the story of Houyi and Chang-e, the Moon Lady, with the help of some Stanford students—Kenneth and Adrienne and engaged the audience. That was super fun!
Shawa Zhang introduced Professor Martin Hellman and his wife Dorothie who gave their version of “The Moon Goddess and the New Map” and gave everyone a copy of their book and autographed.
Delicious Moon Cakes. You can not celebrate the holiday without the traditional food.
Happy Chinese and American friends.
