We were in the company of some very imortant members of our community during the afternoon performance of  EN at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts.  Here, Akiko accepts a congratulatory plaque from Marvat Rashwan acknowledging Yakudo's receipt of an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant that went towards re-skinning our drums.  We were honoured to be joined also by the Honourable Michael Chan, MPP (Markham-Unionville), and Reza Moridi, MPP (Richmond Hill). Thank you again for your support!
