1st Enbukai (^^)

We had our very first Enbukai yesterday. A big Mahalo to all the students, parents and friends who made it a successful one. As for myself many lessons were learned in the administrative and logistical end of the end of the event. I hope to use this experience in making the next one even better! Some photos from the Enbukai. (^^)
