[Seattle Go Center] Vashon Island Volunteers needed -- Japan Fest

Hello Go Players, 
 
Vashon Island invited SGC to a new small-mid size Japan Fest.  This event will be held on the 6th of September and runs from 1pm-6pm on Vashon Island.  That's an hour of travel with a ferry ride.  I am looking for 1-2 volunteers to carpool with me and be ready to go from SGC at 11am.  I estimate we get back by 7pm.  Set up and take down should be easy as the event is providing tables and chairs.  If someone else wants to drive, that's great, just let me know.

If you can commit to this longer time or have question about this event, please email me back.

[Seattle Go Center] 80th Anniversary of Atomic Bomb Game -- 06 AUG 2025

Dear Seattle Go Center Community,

Tomorrow is the 80th anniversary of America dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.  Our generous benefactor, Kaoru Iwamoto 9p, was playing a Honinbo title match game with Utaro Hashimoto about 5 miles from the impact site.  The blast disrupted the last day of their three-day game, and though windows were broken from the blast, nobody in the playing room was badly hurt.  Later in the day, they restored the board state and finished the game.  Only later, as they walked to their host's house, did they get the terrible news of what happened as refugees were fleeing the center of Hiroshima.

There is an annual gathering at Green Lake to recognize this event with a beautiful floating lantern ceremony.  For more info on the ceremony, go to https://fromhiroshimatohope.org.  Seattle Go Center joins the activities prior to the lantern ceremony to replay the Atom Bomb Game.  If you're walking around Greenlake from roughly 4pm-6pm, a bit south of the theater on the west side of the lake, you might stop and say hey to the volunteers there today or place some game moves yourself.

For more information on the Atomic Bomb Game, including a game record, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Go_games#Atomic_bomb_game   and

Peace,
Bill
