2014.
Pictured below are the exchange students, chaperones and Mayor Stimpson.
A selection of photos from the 2014 O-hanami Festival. We enjoyed a wonderful sunny spring day. The cherry blossoms were
still close to their peak bloom. There was a steady flow of visitors throughout the day. Taken at Charles Wood Japanese Garden of
Mobile.
2014: Our student delegates bagged groceries at a local store in Fairhope, AL for donations to help with their airfare costs.
Everyone wore either a yukata, kimono, or happi coat. They greeted customers at the door with a bow and "Irasshaimase!". They also
bowed to each customer as they left the cash register and said, "Arigatou gozaimashita!" The customers were very interested and
asked them about the trip to Ichihara and about MISCA. They were also very generous; we raised a very nice sum of money for our first
try.
Meetings are held in the Asian Culture Center at the Mobile
Japanese Gardens.
