  〜Attractions boosted up the get-together〜
               RIFA Members’ Gathering 2005
 After the send-off party, RIFA members enjoyed the get-together with magic, quoits, and a bingo game.

 RIFA’s deputy chairperson Naito Sadao and a RIFA member Takayuki Matsui showed a professional-like magic. The audience applauded them for their skilful performing, and cheered wildly for their interesting way of speaking when they explained on the magic.

               
  Making the good

  What color of the

   (to let it drop)?
 Giving it a try to a magic

  Retrieving their childish innocence, adults tried to play quoits. It looked like easy, but not.      

 


 
  
                 Good job!.       Bingo? Not yet.
  The last session is a bingo game aimed at “wonderful” prizes. Some people were excited to be close a bingo, looking forward their favorable figure, some were disappointed far cry from a bingo, and others were pleased to get a prize after doing the game of ‘paper, stone and scissors.’ RIFA's Cultural Project Committe Takehiko Nakajima took charge. It was a joyful day.
                            
    
 
  Having held an event for the first time last year, a multi-cultural exchange festival called Omi Tabunka Koryu Festival 2005 was unfolded in Otsu on Sunday September 18. A concert-and-symposium on multi-cultural living together was held at Biwako Hall, and the other events such as a session to experience others’ culture, a multi cultural parade, and university students’ booths were glamorously active on the road around Biwako Hall. RIFA supported the event this year, too, and the chairperson of RIFA’s Cultural Project Committee took charge of the final event at the stage. We would like to participate more actively in the event next year. (AO)
