<DROP-IN CAFÉ : Thursday, July 31, noon to 2 pm>

Freshly made Japanese sweets and a rice dish are available for takeout or eat-in for community elders. Cash payment only. All Nikkei/Hojin seniors are welcomed.

Mr. Toshihide Ikoma, JCCCM volunteer, designed a logo for the Drop-In Café, too! A motif of kettle is used because we only serve tea even though we call it café!

<TEAM ORANGE – Strawberry picking: June 30 >

We meet monthly, to promote the social well-being of the Japanese community, at the JCCCM for a potluck lunch and activities such as crafts, singing/karaoke, etc. For the June activity, we’ll go to Strawberry picking at Quinn Farms on June 30. Reservations required, on a first come, first served basis. This activity is heavily funded (possibly entirely) by a participant who wishes to remain anonymous. Thank you!
