Spouse event: Japanese Paper Construction You are invited to participate in a creative construction craft endeavor. Spend some special time with your SPRI friends while learning the traditional art of decorating with Japanese washi paper. SPRI staff member Robin Balin will lead you in a simple, step by step process on how to produce 2 unique items that you will take home as gifts for yourself or others. No previous craft experience is necessary! Washi comes from wa meaning Japanese and shi meaning paper. The term is used to describe paper made by hand in the traditional manner from the bark of the gampi tree, the mitsumata shrub or the paper mulberry. Robin acquired the skill and appreciation of Japanese papers and culture during the three years she lived in Tokyo. She will provide all materials, including a wide selection of papers to choose from. Opening Reception Whether it has been a year, a month or a day since your last opportunity to connect with your friends at SPRI, there is always plenty to catch up on! Use this opportunity to enjoy a welcome cocktail and renew your SPRI connections! Dinner is on your own. Golf Tournament Saturday, January 16, 2010 Golf has become more than just a game or a pastime. It has become the perfect way to meet people and to bring friends, family, and associates together. The Isla del Sol golf course is an exceptional 18 hole championship layout. Challenging fairways, beautiful bunkered greens, shimmering lakes, and gardens enhance the beauty and heighten the challenge of the course. To reserve clubs or shoes contact the Club at 727-906-4752.
