We had our kickoff meeting on August 16! At this meeting, we participated in a fun icebreaker where each girl shared where she would go and why if she was able to travel anywhere in the world right now. Greece was the most popular destination! We also discussed an overview of our organization, heard from the attendees, and got many great suggestions and ideas.

On February 7th, we met in-person for the first time (social distanced style) at the Japanese Friendship Garden. We began our meeting with an ice-breaker, sharing a piece of information from each of our own family's cultures. We then enjoyed Japanese mochi and other snacks while listening to a Japanese language lesson by Alexandra. She shared basic greetings in Japanese and taught us how to introduce ourselves. 

We then took a self-guided tour through the gorgeous gardens while talking and enjoying the beautiful day as well as all that the garden has to offer. We were so excited to finally meet in-person! 

A huge thank you to our Cultural Committee and Alexandra for a wildly successful meeting!
