Volunteer reading at the library in October

Yesterday I did volunteer reading at the library as usual.
This time some couples of mother and kids, of course came, and some adults (ladies) came.
So after 30 minute English book reading, we had a chat time using this article, and talked about Japanese season words.
 
 
Autumnal Equinox Day :  Most of the women were not from this city Utsunomiya including me. However they try to visit their family graves. The day is for us to remind us of our ancestors, and eat traditional sweets "ohagi".
 
Community Chest : it was interesting, because no one knew how to use the money donated. And everyone accepted that though it is donation, but it is paid automatically from our residents community fee.
 
Cosmos ; yes, it is the season of cosmos now. There are some famous parks with full of cosmos. Probably this weekend, in some parks, cosmos festival must he held, and at the end everyone will be able to take cosmos free.
 
Railway Day; We know the word, but we don't do anything on the day. In a big city there are may railways, but here just two railways.
 
If some adults join me next time, I will be able to organize such a chatting time.
It is fun.
