  Join us for the Japanese-English Reading Circle!  Please note that we will be meeting virtually until further notice.
  

  Mission: to promote language learning through reading and language exchange.  We aim to keep positivity and motivation high while developing reading fluency, vocabulary, content discussion, and reading strategies in a fun, collaborative environment.
  

  Meetings: will consist of icebreaker language games, discussions about book topics, questions about language, formation of reading goals, and reading strategy sharing/reflection

  Who can join:  Japanese learners of English or English-speaking learners of Japanese.  Any proficiency level is okay, although it would help to have at least beginner level knowledge of the second language you are studying.  You can also sign up for the Facebook group or Google group for reminders.

  Then, have lunch and practice your swing with attendees involved in US-Japan business.

  The golf tournament will begin at noon. Golfers compete for winning team trophies, individual skill prizes, and hole-in-one prizes. A post-golf cocktail hour will provide opportunities to meet the other guests and win raffle prizes, including Grand Prize ticket vouchers from Delta Airlines!

  The event will be held at Butler Country Club. The 18-hole championship golf course is both walkable and beautiful, and the practice range is conveniently located. The course can be explored with an in-depth course tour on the Club’s website.
