JAFA's Annual General Meeting took place on Wednesday 24 October before our monthly J-Kai, when a large crowd of well wishers joined us to celebrate the achievements of the last 20 years at our Coming of Age Party. 

For a small organization we've been very active with a record of events that older, larger organizations are envious of. To learn more about our achievements you can read the President's Report by Mike Dunphy by clicking here.
