(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of July 13, 2002, practitioners from different areas of the state of New Jersey came to Monmouth County to celebrate "Falun Dafa Week" with local government officials and citizens in the county library conference room.

The conference room was decorated, serene and peaceful. In front of the presidium's tables were banners reading "Falun Dafa" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." The proclamations and award certificates from various levels of government were set out on the tables. Many pictures and display boards were set up along the wall.

The ceremony started at 2 p.m. First, a practitioner addressed the audience and briefly introduced the "Falun Dafa Week" event and the response and support from various segments of society. He also sincerely expressed appreciation to the congressmen and senators of Monmouth County, county council members and city mayors who had supported Falun Dafa.

Second, County Council Member Mr. Narok read the proclamation letter from the County government and encouraged people to participate in activities during "Falun Dafa Week." He happily accepted the "Falun Dafa" videotapes and books from the practitioners.

After that, all attendees watched videos introducing Falun Dafa and "Falun Dafa in New Jersey."

After the video program, practitioners chatted with people and taught the exercises. Many people wrote down their phone number to be informed of more Falun Dafa group practice activities.

A reporter from "World Journal Daily" interviewed the ceremony and exercise teaching event.
