2024 Japanese Festival Fundraising Success for JACL!
The St. Louis JACL participation in the 2024 Japanese Festival at the Missouri Botanical Garden from August 31-September 2 was an outstanding success. The JACL Soda Tent raised its second highest gross revenue total ever!
Robin Hattori and Wendy Roll conducted the first St. Louis JACL Cooking Demonstration at the Kemper Kitchen Sunday afternoon. Sunomono and Oyako Domburi were the demonstrated recipes, directly out of the Nisei Kitchen cookbook.
Thank you to all of the volunteers, including these Parkway Central exchange students that worked during one of the busiest shift Saturday afternoon!
