As we emerged from the gate at the Hanamaki Airport, a group of cheering Rotarians holding banners and flowers welcomed us to their country. The district governor and his wife, Akihiko and Hisae Kasai, along with Rotary members from all over the district, had come to greet us. Hisae adorned us with fresh flowers and some children presented us with origami they had made. What a wonderful, warm welcome!
