I am forwarding to you this year's MSCA newsletter which details last year's visit to Miasa-Omachi Japan by a group of Mendocino students. This May we will be hosting a large contingent of Japanese students and visitors in return.</p><p>We would not be able to offer these programs without your enthusiastic support and financial assistance. Your dues and other contributions are what pay for these visits back and forth across the Pacific and the other cultural events sponsored by MSCA. Together we are building a strong foundation for mutual respect and understanding between nations.</p><p>MSCA will be sponsoring a sake tasting fund raising event later this month at the Mendocino Art Center - we hope you will be able to attend!</p><p>Thank you for your energy and involvement in MSCA. We couldn't do this without you.</p><p>Yours,</p><p>Jim Jackson</p>President, MSCA Board of Directors</div><div dir="auto" style="line-break:after-white-space"><br></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break:after-white-space"></div></div><div style="line-break:after-white-space"><div dir="auto" style="line-break:after-white-space"><br>
