Greetings from the Japan America Society of Vermont

Happy New Year!!! With your great help we at the JASV accomplished all of our planned activities and happily closed 2019. (Please look at the JASV Website, Sub-directory, Chiisai Shinbun Newsletter for details.) Thank you very much!!!

We believe that all of you welcomed in a happy new year of 2020. We at the JASV, however, welcomed the year of 2020 with a big challenge, probably the biggest challenge we ever experienced since the JASV was established in 1983. We had to move out of our office from the Saint Micheal's College campus at the end of 2019. On December 18, we moved to a new location,

The Japan America Society of Vermont
180 Flynn Avenue, (Mail Box #5)
Burlington. VT 05401

We sincerely appreciate the SMC's great support up to now of lending our office room with no charge. At the same time, we started having a headache to pay a rent of $3,600 per year for the new office. The JASV is a 100 percent volunteer non-profit organization. It is almost impossible to add making such a big amount of money to our goal of fostering good understanding and relations between Vermonters and Japanese. We need to look for a generous supporter like SMC. The rent will be a subject of tax reduction for the room lender. Thank you for your help to find a generous room lender!!!
