Washington DC Region Soka Spirit Kickoff

The Soka Spirit Kickoff meeting was held at the DC Community Center on 14 January 2007.

These goals were announced at the 14 January kickoff meeting by Region Leader Kathy Ruby:
1. 25 disassotiations 2. Close the Myosenji temple 3. Increase the Soka Spirit toso sponsors to 100.

Zone Leader Penny Parker presented a report which focused on the planned temple efforts for the coming year. It was announced late last year that the head temple would no longer support local temples so the temple must raise the necessary funds. The only way to do this is to gain new members and aggressively promote donations. A super tozan will be held during next year. It was also reported that Nikken, although retired as high priest, is keeping close tabs on temple activities.

Michael Aiken spoke of the Joy of Soka Spirit quoting from the goshos 'Reply to Sairenbo' and 'Happiness in this World'.

My patience wore out during the Myth Busters 'game' an hour and forty-five minutes into the meeting with no end in sight.
