-BYOB (water or tea will do just fine!) for the official "KANPAI!" around 7:30PM CST.
-Event theme (optional) = Your Enkai Best! Enjoy dressing up for enkais? Have something you wish you could have worn? Well show us your enkai best as we celebrate together! Including but not limited to fashion, zoom backgrounds, accessories and more!

A new twist on an old favorite! The JETAA Chicago and Japan America Society of Chicago YPC Book Club continues in 2024 with a meeting in April!
Join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, April 9th!
Our book club highlights voices and stories with a solid connection to Japan. For our next meeting, we have chosen What You Are Looking For Is In The Library. Written by Michiko Aoyama, April's pick is a tribute to the magic of libraries, friendship, and community, perfect for anyone who has ever found themselves at an impasse in their life and needing inspiration.
Be sure to pick up a copy of the book and join us for an evening of casual discussion in a virtual space via Zoom! Registrations are limited, so grab a spot while you can!
If you have any questions, please reach out to info@jetaachicago.com. We look forward to seeing you there!
