On September 15, 2025, Urasenke Tankokai Los Angeles Association was invited again at the request of the City of Ontario Library. Ms. Natasha Dennis reached out to the Tankokai for the demonstration and CoA Ann Abe was the event coordinator.

The tea ceremony demonstration was presented with an early Fall theme starting at 6 pm – 7pm with a discussion led by Mr Patrick Duffey. Thirty-four guests from the Ontario community joined this demonstration. Many were high school age. Misonodana (a table used for the tea procedure) was used to highlight the Urasenke tradition and Japanese culture.

Teishu (host) was Mr. Cirilo Domine, hanto (host’s assistant) and narrator was Mr. Patrick Duffey. Mr. Mark Umbriaco was shokyaku (main guest) and the second guest was chosen from the audience. After the demonstration, all the volunteers helped to serve sweets and tea. Mr. Wayu Kennedy was in the mizuya (preparation room) preparing tea.
