TJCS volunteers gathering and planning Canadian themed events for 2015

On Saturday, January 24th, 2015, key TJCS Leadership gathered, along with 30 or so ardent volunteers, to kick off planning for the society’s 2015 event calendar.

While enjoying a sumptuous brunch buffet, served up by Shooters Sports Bar & Grill, we found time to get down to business and began refining our plans for another great year of Canadian-themed events for the Tokai Region of Central Japan.
