Thank you for making 2019, JASH’s 51st anniversary year, a meaningful year of progress.

This year, with your generous support, JASH, among other things, has:

•Welcomed a new President - Laird Doran
•Honored Governor Abbott with the J. Thomas Schieffer Leadership Award
•Marked the start of the Reiwa Era
•Greeted over 25,000 attendees at the 26th Annual Japan Festival Houston
•Celebrated 30 years of the Texas State Japanese Language Speech Contest
•Gave 20 high school students the opportunity to visit Japan and learn more about the US-Japan alliance
•Offered 50 Japanese group language courses (=400 individual 2-hr classes)
•Expanded our participation in Table For Two’s #OnigiriAction campaign and won the prize for “Best Onigiri Story”
•Engaged volunteers in over 2200 hours of service to the community

There is a class, workshop, outreach activity or special event nearly every day of the year we are open!

We are grateful for what you make possible and look forward to engaging you in even more Japan-related activities in the new year.

今年もありがとうございました!
