For those in Lansing on Wednesday, we have a Welcome Party for all our international guests and we'd love to have you and your students there to be a part. It will be at Burchfield Park, 881 Grovenburg Rd, Holt, MI 48842! Please plan on being there at 4:30 pm. The overseas guests of honor will be showing up at 5:00 pm, and we want to greet them in mass. Additionally, we will be celebrating Miyazato Sensei's 72nd birthday at this event as well.
Note: It is a county park, so there is an entry fee, $5 for Ingham residents, and $7 for non-residents.
