Hello, I'm Andrew Takahashi, your 2008-2009 southern district jr. ybl president. This will be my fourth and final year here in Jr.YBL. These past four years in Jr. YBL have been some of the best years of my life. I have made so many new friends and many more memories. I love all the events that we do, from seminars and obons to jam session and conference. All of them have been amazing. For this year I hope that everyone has as much fun as I do at all our events, and I hope that everyone will gain new friends and create new memories as I have here in SD Jr.YBL. All i can say is THIS YEAR IS GONNA BE OFFF THE CHAAAINNN!!!! So lets turn the music up, say namu-amida-butsu, and party!

In Gassho,

Andrew Takahashi , 2008-2009 SDJrYBL President
