Thank you all for making Japanese Association’s Fall Festival (秋祭り) 2011 a sucess. We apologize for food running out really early (as they are really popular as always : P). However, we are sure that you all enjoyed LoveBall’s takoyaki. We would also like to especially thank our wonderful performers who have made this festival extraordinary. And last but not least, BIG THANKS to all our sponsors: University Co-op, DDCE, Student Government and APAC. We’d like to thank you all for your continued support of JA.
