April 9, 2002: April regular meeting
New fiscal year has started. We have the first regular meeting in our Oita Group of Friends (OGF.) The new leader made a few words saying, "We will start the New Year with a slogan 'Let's activate group meetings' and make efforts to enrich the 'inner life' of the group members. We will have the 70th anniversary of OGF next year." Each group leader express their hopes of the New Year respectively.
	Life Group leader explained how to promote life study of OGF using a diagram.
The diagram reads, "Group meetings, life study, mothers' meeting, and toward-external activities such as study classes and friendship sales are tightly combined with each other to improve our lives step by step."
	Tense atmosphere fills the room as the start point of the New Year. Well, relax for a while and stretch arms and legs. We were now refreshed.
New house construction project leader explains how the members dream of the new house.
The dream will come true starting from those scratches. that depicts the premises and layout of the buildings What the new house should be in layout? What kinds of rooms are needed? A concrete floor plan is displayed on the paper as well. Dreams are coming into a shape by gathering the images in the members' brains.
