Altadena Fire Hits Home on Kauai
Temple member Iris McGowan’s son Jed, wife Nancy Jean, and daughter Ruby
lost their home on January 8th. The photo above was taken two weeks before
the fire when Iris was visiting in December. Friends established a GoFundMe site
to assist the family in times of need. Maybe we can help the family reach that
fundraising goal! Please click on the GoFundMe button to get to the website.
Your KOKUA will be much appreciated. Aloha! Mahalo, nui, nui, loa!
Cash donations or checks (written to “Iris McGowan”)
may be placed in a white envelope and dropped into the
donation calabash in the Zenshuji Hall. Mahalo!
ALOHA! E komo mai! Come and Visit our Temple!

– the first Zen Buddhist temple in the U.S.

Please enjoy your visit and
