The 80th All-Tenrikyo Hinokishin Day in Hawaii

Amy, Catherine & Miyaky

The 80th All Tenrikyo Hinokishin Day for Honolulu was held in beautiful weather at Honolulu Zoo with a total of over 150 participants (23 from Pearl Church)! I would like to thank everyone for your support in participating and helping bring food and other supplies to the event. Barbara Thacker of the Honolulu Zoo volunteer division said that this was our 26th consecutive year at the Zoo and expressed their appreciation for our continued efforts. She mentioned that some of us were probably kids when we first came and now they (those kids) are bringing their kids!
