together to enhance each other’s programs. There is power in partnerships, both financial as well as in-service hours. Tajiri Arts did
extremely well in this area by partnering with the following organizations:

Florida. Currently, Mrs. Cynthia Smith, Director of Golden Rule, Inc. is housed in this Historic Home)
