Bok Kai Temple 2008 Update
Marysville, California
By Nancy Becker
The Friends of the Bok Kai Temple have been working with the Marysville Chinese Community to restore the temple. The Friends of the Bok Kai Temple helped to raise restoration funds for the repair of the portico. Rotten building supports were replaced and the portico murals were stabilized.

This year the Chinese Community received a grant from Proposition 40 and The Friends of the Bok Kai Temple supplied matching funds for the grant. Further restoration work will begin in April to continue preserving the temple. Donations may be made for the restoration through the Friends of the Bok Kai Temple at www.bokkaitemple.org. Mark your donation "For Use in the Temple Restoration"
