Sangha members of Dharma Rain Zen Center and Zen Community or Oregon gathered at Great Vow Zen Monastery in Clatskanie for food and fun on July 4th. After grilled tofu and garden burgers and lots of potato salad, people enjoyed kite flying, Frisbee flying, and a rousing soccer match. Thanks to Faddah Wolf for brining kites to share.

The soccer match took on all comers, including Thomas Rudinsky (in the red, white and blue, near right) and a neighborhood dog (not shown). Click on the image for a larger view Click on image for a larger view
