Happy Birthday to us!!

In 2012 Hyogo Cultural Centre is celebrating our 20th birthday!!! It seems amazing that we have been going so long and, as I look back over the variety of events and activities, I also feel proud of what we have achieved. Our current Director, Mr. Kawanabe, first started the Centre in 1992 and worked until 1995 when he first hired me (lucky me!!). Then, when the Centre changed location to City Beach in 2009, Mr. Kawanabe was once again asked by Governor Ido to take over the Directorship. The past 2 and a half years in City Beach have been really wonderful and I really feel that we have made ourselves at home here in the little Japanese hub together with the Japanese School and the Japanese Association.
I would like to organise many celebratory events this year including a big birthday party and possibly even a tour to Hyogo for Members. Let me know your thoughts and suggestions!
Best wishes for the New Year.
