Start of Spring Break!! Okonomiyaki!! Karaoke!!
March 20 - Thursday
The last day of class before Spring Break, the officers and some of our former members (graduates of UH) will be meeting at 6:00pm at Shochan near University & King.
The majority of us will meet at 5:30 near the moore hall elevators. We'll be walking as a group down to the restaurant.
You should bring min 12$ (as the okonomiyaki set itself is about 9$).
If there's enough interest we may go to karaoke afterwards... (that will be another additional cost)
This is an open invitation, no rsvp is necessary. This is a good chance to hang out with us and see us when we're not freaking out about how the activity is going!

About JCC
Our Activities

Profile
Our history started Fall 2002 as UHJCC and continued through the years planning activities with an emphasis on Japanese Culture. In Fall 2005, UHJCC became a Registered Independent Organization (RIO) at the University of Hawai‘i. The name was then changed to JCC to emphasize the Club's role as a RIO within the University of Hawaii system.
