Ice-Shaving Machines
JLTAWA has purchased two ice-shaving machines, to lend out to JLTAWA members, at no charge. If you have an upcoming Japanese cultural activity day, what could be better than a delicious and refreshing kaki-gori to top off the day? JLTAWA members may book either one or both machines for a week at a time, by contacting Anne Ashby at aashby@mlc.wa.edu.au. All you need do is pick up and drop back the machines, but the hire is free.
We hope this purchase will benefit many members.
