Nov. 24 (Saturday ) Annual Thanksgiving Dinner
The Notre Dame Club of Japan continues its annual tradition of hosting the current Notre Dame students studying at Sophia and Nanzan Universities for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We will be holding a full Thanksgiving Dinner on the evening of Saturday, November 24. After the Thanksgiving Dinner, the ND Year in Japan students enjoy a homestay in Tokyo with local alumni. In accordance with Club tradition, “the homestay student is required to attend the gamewatch that begins a mere few hours after the homestay commences.”
Nov. 25 at USC (TBA)
Note: On December 11, 2011 the New York Times published an article entitled This Time, Pac-12 Expansion Could Be in Another Country. This article notes that “Notre Dame and Stanford have discussed playing their 2013 football game in China instead of in California.” In the event that an agreement to play the 2013 Notre Dame – Stanford game in China is reached, the Notre Dame Club of Japan will endeavor to organize a gamewatch in China for Notre Dame Club of Japan members. Stay tuned for more details as they become available!
