We hosted 24 Sakai Goodwill members and 8 Sakai Bridge Artists in Berkeley from September 12 - 16, 2014. On Friday, we welcomed our Sakai visitors with a Welcome BBQ Party at the Claremont Club. Saturday we had a bus tour of Berkeley, with stops at Lawrence Hall of Science, the UC Bear at the Cal Football stadium, the Downtown Farmer's Market and Berkeley Artist Irene Ifeld's Photo Gallery and adjacent art galleries on 25th Street in Oakland.
