The 3 Grand Prize Winners!!!

What a wonderful way to start the spring! By wining a writing contest that helps you connect with your family, this is what the Letter To My Parents Contest is all about. The contests where held in Chicago, IL as well as Los Angeles, CA. Reiyukai America was overwhelmed by the incredible out come of this year’s contests. Throughout both cities, many young writers partook by submitting personal letters of love, pain as well as gratitude for their parents and guardians; in hopes of making a stronger connection. Check out our 2017 Special Spring Issue Newsletter and read the heart warming letters written by our finalists…..don’t forget to have a tissue on hand!
