April 11, 2006: Regular meeting
We had the first regular meeting in the fiscal year. The new leader was in tension and prepared for her speech.
A lovely flower basket welcomed the new young leader.
Lunch preparation.
We made up today's lunch by gathering what we had learned in March cooking course.
The meeting started at ten in the morning as usual.
We cerebrated the new leader with clapping hands who promised to do her best this year.
She set three ambitious targets of Oita Group Of Friends(GOF) based on the main theme of the national meeting as "Think deep and broader life."
The new assignment was set as well. Each leader appealed their plans.
Saiki group was annexed to Oita last year and the members from Saiki told about their thinking.

We promised to develop our Oita GOF this year as before.
