B. 01. Thank you

Special thanks to everyone who was involved in hosting this annual speech contest in San Diego:

The contestants, the teachers, the judges team, friends, parents, families, and volunteers!

All the volunteers 2015!

My special thanks go to you all.

Thanks for your dedication and fantastic teamwork as a volunteer staff. We have met via video conferences when

everyone was busy, daily message exchange on facebook, but we all enjoyed the friendship. We deeply appreciate

your efforts and love for being a volunteer and help out. We will continue to support each other throughout the year

for the next one.

Additionally if anybody would like to join the volunteer team, please let us know. sdjscc@gmail.com (Fumiko Tachibana)

We would like to hear from you!

Also special thanks go to Kimono Group: Mutsuko-san, Yuko-san, and San Diego Kimono Club members.

Your participation added a special luxury to the contest. We were always enchanted by the gorgeous Japanese kimono.

Everyone there enjoyed the show. Thank you!!!

Last but not least, the fantastic audience! Please come back again next year to support this event again.

If you are a student and can speak Japanese, come and compete!

With much appreciation,
