Saffron-Kai by Mieko Tsukamoto
October 21st, 2026
サフラン会(Saffron-Kai)by Mieko Tsukamoto サフラン会は、1979年秋、今から47年前に、当時の日語部の大友愛郎牧師と数名の日語部メンバーが中心となり、日本から新しく渡米された方々を支えるサポートグループとして始まりました。それから長い年月を経た今も、月に一度集まり、互いの親睦を深めたり、情報交換をしたり、困った時には助け合ったりしながら、楽しい時間を過ごしています。毎回テーマを決め、皆さんが気軽に参加できる会を心がけています。例えば、9月の例会には18名が参加しました。テーマは「私のティータイム」。参加者がサンドイッチやスコーンなどを持ち寄り、美味しいフィンガーフードとお茶を囲んで会話に花を咲かせました。まずは、夫々が持参した自慢のフードを紹介。その後、この夏の思い出をシェアしました。ヨーロッパや日本、アメリカ国内を旅行された方、いつも通りの日常を丁寧に過ご...
