You are invited to the 2012 Mokuyokai Ohanami! It's Mokuyokai's 28th annual ohanami. Typically held at UBC's Nitobe Gardens, this year we are going to have a more traditional ohanami at Queen Elizabeth Park.
We'll gather at Queen Elizabeth Park at 3:00 PM on Saturday, April 14. This will be a very easy going event; please bring your own lunch / bento / snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.
Since this is a public park in Canada, unfortunately we can't drink alcohol. But we'll have a great time nonetheless. We might not have sake, but we will have at least TWO blue tarps! If you have a tarp or
large picnic blanket, please bring it along. Other ideas for things to bring: acoustic musical instruments, frisbees, hackey sack, badminton, haiku writing gear ... ?

今年、木曜会は、もう少し「日本らしい」花見行事を開催します。今、桜は咲いているけど、この週末は Sakura Days Japan Fair だから、４月１４日午後３時に、Queen Elizabeth
Parkで皆であつまりましょう！これはのんびりした行事なので、各自ランチ／弁当／スナック、お酒以外の飲み物を持って来てもらえたら嬉しいです。やっぱり、ここはカナダだから、公園では、お酒を飲む事はダメだから、お酒を飲まずに、楽しい行事をしましょう。青い敷物が二枚あるけど、もし自分の敷物やピクニクブランケットがあったら、ぜひ持て来て下さい。ギター／フリズビー／バドミントン／俳句を詠むのも良いですね！
ところで、Vancouver Japanese Language Meetup
Groupは、同じ所で、午後１時から、花見ピクニクを開催するようです。ぜひ、皆で楽しみましょう。
この行事は無料なので、メンバーもメンバーでない人もぜひ参加してください！
