On Saturday March 19th, the Alpine Township branch of the Kent District Library (KDL) hosted a special program with displays and craft tables about the customs and people of Japan. There was sushi and other other tasty food items to sample, a chance for kids to do calligraphy, paint, and learn much more. Over 45 visitors stopped by and expressed an interest in Japan, particularly in light of the current events that are taking place there now.
Long time area resident Tim Blanch and his wife Jessica recently returned from Japan where they were employed as attorneys. The University of Michigan graduates were living in Tokyo and recently moved back into the area.
