- This week I was invited by Margaret Crapp to give a presentation to the Inner Wheel Club titled "Supporting others to realize their full potential". Part of their mission is to provide friendship and international understanding.
- Hannah Wilkin and I worked on Japanese and Italian word lists for the International Speech Assessment (ISA).
- I went to a dinner for Japanese visitors from Toyo High School (Tokyo).
- I then went to a Tongan night hosted by 'Oto and Bella Faiva and their family and learned of the importance of the royalty, church and community to the Tongan people and how people wear a tapa to show their respect.
