Collaborative Haiku Poem – チリディナー

chili dinner
past two years without
stand in line

チリデｲナー３年振りに列に立ち
チリディナー　さんねん ぶり に　れつ に たち

“The Chili DInner is a fundraiser for the Keystone Community Task Force Annual Scholarship Program” (KCTF newsletter). We were unable to participate for the past two years, due to heavy snow in 2020 and corona virus pandemic in 2021. This year, the weather was nice and many people participated. Chili, cornbread, hotdogs and muffins were all delicious. I’m sure that the fundraiser was successful.

　チリディナー（chili dinner）は地域の住民で作る団体 KeyStone Community Task Force が出す奨学金の基金集めのために毎年２月に催されますが、一昨年は大雪のため、昨年はご存知コロナ禍のため行きそびれました。幸い、今年は好天気に恵まれ、住民の参加も上々で、有志の皆さんが作るチリ、コーンブレッド、ホットドッグ、マフィン、どれも美味しく、どうやら基金集めは成功のようでした。
