100th Anniversary Thank You, Sent On Time, Posted Here Late
The wonderful thank you sent by email to many Temple members and guests who attended the 100th Anniversary .observances should have been shared more broadly, right away.. The sincere thanks apply as well to attendees at all of our September events. This post also allows us to share remarks of key speakers at the dinner banquet, which many of you not at the dinner can now enjoy.
Better late than never, here is the text of that letter.
.Dear 100th Anniversary Guests,
Thank you for being part of the Buddhist Temple of San Diego’s 100th Anniversary Dinner Celebration! It was truly special to have so many of you with us as we celebrated this incredible milestone.
We hope you enjoyed the evening and the opportunity to celebrate 100 years of memories, community, and gratitude.
We apologize for the sound issues during the program. We’ve attached a few of the speeches that were shared that evening so you can enjoy them again and hear some special messages that were part of our celebration.
Our warmest gratitude to each of you for taking the time to celebrate this special milestone with us. Your presence helped make the evening truly memorable!
