Today, we will look back again at the happenings from the recent BCA National Council meetings two weeks ago, and look forward to events of our Temple 110th Anniversary. They tie together, just as the Shotsuki Service always reminds us, as we look back and forward together.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
