September 3, 2002: The second term of GOF
The terrible heat of this summer is still lingering around here in Oita. The second term of GOF(Group of Friend) Oita branch started today.

The leader of a group who is in charge of this time write down today's program on the black board.
The lunch preparation group, Mitsushiki, is working hard in the kitchen already.
The theme of September is "Toward a working autumn."

The writings of the Founder, Motoko Hani, is a textbook of the day as usual. The line is "The most natural life." After reading the lines, we exchange our impressions each other.
In the second term, we will have a family budget open class in November. Before that, we checked our family budgets and discussed over the charts.
On the new house project

In summer off time some of the construction group member discussed the design and estimates submitted from the bidders. We are now focusing into two bidders for the final selection.
The flotation of a loan, contribution gathering, and temporary housing are the major items to be considered.
Some members who attended a "Smock apron making class" in summer holidays wear their products today and demonstrate.

Ms. Tanaka, the teacher of the class, told that all the attendants completed their work neatly.
Mitsushiki group members have prepared today's lunch. The menu was taken from a study class "Mother group having infants."
