Our annual Bonenkai 忘年会 brought members and their guests together for a relaxed end-of-year celebration. Many new members attended, and we all enjoyed food from Mei Japanese Restaurant along with handmade desserts from Chiz’s Bakery.  We also enjoyed a fun US-Japan trivia competition with lots of winners, hosted by Steve and Helen Rindsberg.

Thank you to Asahi Beer USA for generously providing beer, to the Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Church for donating the use of their space, to our many raffle prize donors, and to Steve and Helen Rindsberg for sponsoring table decorations again this year.
