First Sakura Event of the season

Cherry blossom season has arrived in New York. 

Today, I attended a commemorative ceremony, celebrating the re-installation of the plaque honoring the first Japanese cherry trees planted in New York City 101 years ago,
organized by the New Heritage Theater Group. 

The event was held on the campus of City College (CCNY)

and the reception was held at Aaron Davis Hall, at City College.

Here are some photos from the reception. 

Ms. Okaru, a singer-songwriter, and I sung "Sakura Sakura" song along with

  musician Mr. Matthew. 

With the members of New Heritage Theater Group

Coincidentally, I met my friend Susan there, too!
