We are going to compile an essay collection of our wonderful memories and make a booklet. You are welcome to write and submit your essay to Kiyoshi Yamauchi, who will translate it into Japanese. You can attach related photos. The deadline for submission is Sunday, August 13, so that we will be able to print the booklet in time for the ceremony on October 8.
