Aletheia University in Tamshui Campus is one of the most beautiful and memorial places near Taipei, including Oxford College , Grand Cathedral, wonderful flower nursery, etc.?The various trees near the main gate are green through the year, but just not seasonably colorful. A group young men love the land by planting a number of cherry blossom trees and presents to the University. And the presentation ceremony will be held on April 30, 2005, from 3:00p.m. to 5:30p. m.

It happens that Taipei-Downtown Y’s Men’s Club is going to celebrate his 30th Anniversary and looking for a program of community service to feedback the society. The Club projects a cooperative plan with the Aletheia by planting and presenting 32 cherry blossom trees at the Campus. They are snowy Yoshino and pinky Yae Sakura. The trees have been beautifully and successfully planted in the coldest days in February this year, following the instruction of professional gardener. Surprisingly,

all trees start budding very soon and blooming in full blossoms around the end of March. It seems that the whole campus like a picture, has been beautifully colored and the environment charmingly decorated .The University sets up a memorial stone at the side of 3H boulevard, engraved with the theme of Love, Peace and Friendship, symbolizing a good cooperation and communication between a university and a Y’s Men’s club
