The Japan–America Society of the State of Washington (JASSW) held its annual Holiday Dinner and Auction at the Seattle Westin.
About 420 people attended the event, and $100,000 was raised. Some of the proceeds from the event will benefit JASSW’s Japan in the Schools program, which offers free educational presentations to schools in the Puget Sound region.
