On April 21, a beautiful spring day, Ambassador Ray Burghardt, Director of East-West Seminars, met with EWC alumni in Kyoto at a lunch organized by the EWCA Kansai Chapter at the Hotel Granvia. Ray brought the alumni up-to-date on developments at the Center and heard from them about how important the EWC experience had been for their lives. After the luncheon meeting, alumni chapter president, Tomohide Ashida, gave Ray and Susan Burghardt a tour of some of Kyoto’s most famous sights.
