Report of Regular Meeting November 2007

Takahiro Nagasawa, Secretary

The "Youth Night" regular meeting, presided by Mr. Hosokawa, gathered many members, youths and guests in the Well-B at the Toyo-cho Center of the Tokyo YMCA, probably because we shall have soon the establishment of the "Y's Youth Club Tokyo". We held it in the Well-B like November last year, because the usual audiovisual room is somewhat narrow. The Y's dinner was the usual potluck supper. Ms. Uehara, President of the Tokyo Menettes Club, said a word of welcome: "Please enjoy it enough with desserts". We took the wonderful meal which the menettes had made with their warm heart. The youth members carried back the rest. We were all very satisfied.
