First General Meeting 2008

Welcome Back USC Nikkei!!!

The first meeting of the semester was AMAZING!

We were all shocked at the HUGE turnout as people shuffled into the already packed room.









People were filling out applications and getting their amazing shirt.

The meeting was short and sweet.
President Penny started it , introducing herself and the board, and thanking the other APASA and INC (Go Riverside!) organizations.


Then Josh and I went over a few announcements (Little Toyko on Sat., Cubbing next Thur., and the Ohio State FOOTBALL GAME (9/13!!)).

Then, The SKIT.
We Highlighted 5 of our favorite events from last year.
Clubbing at Meltdown

Our biggest event with INC (Intercollegiate Nikkei Council).
