In 1986, the Milwaukee Zen Center began publishing a monthly newsletter. Seen here is Volume 1, Number 1, issued in January. The newsletter includes a New Years greeting, a message from Tozen Akiyama, the Resident Priest at the time, the Zen Center's schedule, a poem, and information about the center and how to subscribe to the newsletter. Near the end of the same year, the Zen Center purchased a permanent home on Stowell Ave., and the second document included here is an update on the updates being made to adapt the house for the Zen Center's use and to make Tozen and his family comfortable there, as well as the announcement of the creation of a fund for maintaining the Center's new home.
