And, Back in Oakville...

Megan's part of the oldest concert band in Canada. Every summer since 1874, the OWO has been performing outdoor concerts in the area. 

 The bandshell at Coronation Park is an imposing structure! It's right on Lake Ontario. The program tonight featured adaptations of works by the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Pixar films and Michael Jackson, as well as traditional tunes of the American West. 
Tonight Megan was first clarinet! Great concerts, if you're free on Tuesday nights.

Meanwhile, At Mount Fuji...

In a large wooden chalet at Lake Yamanaka is Torchbearers Japan, one of the Capernwray Bible Schools found all around the globe for young people to gain a practical grounding in scripture.

Laura's a grad of Capernwray's Taurenhof school in Austria, and has volunteered for the summer to run the kitchen at Torchbearers Yamanakako. This involves driving to various stores to make purchases, arranging the menu and supervising the staff. She's just decided to continue in this voluntary position until next summer.
