Thanks for coming out to our annual Shin-Bowlnenkai!

JETAA Chicago members turned out to strike down pins and pick up spares for the annual BOWLnenkai celebration! The afternoon was filled with catching up, story swapping, pizza, and bowling of course! Thanks to all the alumni who joined the party on February 25th at Strike Ten Lanes to kick off another great year of JETAA Chicago events! “We’re better when we #JETogether!”

Book Club - What You Are Looking For Is In The Library

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!
