On May 31, 2025, at the Pepsico Theater of CT Community College/Norwalk there was an afternoon of Asian Culture. This was held in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The Japan Society of Fairfield County joined the Organization of Chinese Americans (Fairfield County), Bollywood Boutique and Dance Studio and other groups to highlight something from each of our cultures. JSFC's contribution was to lead a Bon Odori community dance using Tanko Bushi, which we also dance at our annual Fall Festival. Joy DeJaeger led the dancers, who included Jackie Alexander, Bob and Meaghan Brody, and Robyn Mortiboys. They were accompanied by shamisen (Kyoto Murai) and flute (Nori Ishikawa)
