Japan Fest is the largest annual celebration of Japanese culture in the Gulf South. There were performances by taiko groups, many local Japanese restaurants had booths outside the museum, and there were also tours of the small Japanese garden in the nearby Botanical Gardens. Over a dozen JET alumni helped host its popular dress-up activity. The Consulate in Nashville provided yukata and obi for people to try on, and the JETs helped show people how to wear them. We also sold Japanese candies and sweets acquired by JETAANOLA treasurer Mike Brinkman when he was in New York for the national JETAA Conference. In addition to helping promote JET and Japan, the festival helped reconnect several local JET alumni with JETAA, increasing out numbers by half a dozen names. &#8211;JETAA New Orleans<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/want.jetalumni.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">JETAA  Western Australia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Careers Seminar \u2013 <\/strong>Tuesday,  October 26th, 6:00 at  UWA Social Sciences Lecture Room.
