Local Temari Gatherings

Some Temari folks would like to muster some local gatherings for Temari enthusiasts in their areas.... please understand that these folks are volunteering to undertake organizing these events of their own accord and desires.... if you are in their areas and would like to attend (or help) please drop them a line directly. Some gatherings are held at public campuses and open to all Temari makers; others are held in private homes through the Talk Temari list and limited to the list members. If you would like to spearhead a gathering in your region (US or otherwise) drop a note and I'll help with including it here and on TemariKai News.
