Happy New Year from the Japan America Society

あけましておめでとうございます!

It's the Year of the Dog in Japan and a special time to celebrate for all who were born in the 'Dog Years' -- 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946, 1934, 1922, and 1910. People born in the year of the Dog have all the fine qualities of human nature. They have a sense of duty and loyalty, they are extremely honest and they always do their best in their relationships with other people. Dog people inspire confidence in others and know how to keep secrets.

That's what they say, anyhow....

From all of us at the Japan-America Society of Washington DC, we wish you a very Happy New Year!

Bill Breer, Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Amb. John Malott, President and CEO

Yukiko Hino, Associate Director

Aki Watanuki, Membership Coordinator and Office Manager
