Samurai exibition @ MET. Update
Greetings:
Sorry their was some confusion in my first post here. The announcement was an excerpt from the Boston Token Kai newsletter and the offer of the private tour was for our members only. Ogawa Sensei is an honorary member and teacher to the Boston Token Kai. Perhaps other clubs or groups may be able to arrange a private tour also if they wish.
Best Regards,

Dear Boston Token Kai Members:
Our next meeting will be at John White's office in Newton, Ma. and will be on Sunday, April 20th. 2008 at 1:00 PM. Thank you John for accommodating us. We encourage new members to join our club.
The directions would be: coming down the Mass Pike from either direction take exit 17. From the west you want to go all the way around the rotary but stay in the 3rd lane from the left so NOT!! to get back onto the Mass pike and then take a left in the Citizens bank parking lot right after you go thru the lights, you can park in that lot and come to the back doors of the office building around back. From the east stay in the left lane off the exit go straight thru the lights and left into the bank parking lot.
Our topic for discussion will be plans for the upcoming Metropolitan Museum of Art trip to NYC in the beginning of Nov. 2008. We will need to get a rough head count of how many are planing to go, rental of a bus and room accommodations possibly in NJ or CT as rooms are very expensive in NYC. I am waiting to hear from Ogawa San, had dinner with him a couple weeks ago & I asked a lot of questions including the Boston Token Kai members private tour by him on the MET exhibition, Said he has to propose it to some board to get an OK. He said he will get back to me soon about it. I will write another news letter as soon as I know. Hope to see you all there.
What I have so far is the opening will be early in OCT. will run to JAN. 2009 and that the first week in Nov. would be best for our private tour at the MET.
Their will be a big thick catalog of the exhibition, 20,000 copies printed with an estimated cost of $50. to $60. each.
Best Regards,
