The 2009 movie night was a great success, thanks to everyone who came along and thank you to Megan for hosting. I think everyone enjoyed “Tampopo” and most attendees will never look at live crustaceans or egg yolks in quite the same way again.

Thanks also to Christie Harvey for stepping up and volunteering to be the JETAA Candle Festival liaison officer. Please give her as much support as you can as she undertakes this role.
