Marie Kondo Celebrated at Japan America Society of Southern California 110th Anniversary Dinner & Gala

The Japan America Society of Southern California (JASSC) is proud to present its 110th Anniversary Dinner & Gala Celebration at Angel Stadium, 2000 East Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806, on Thursday, July 11, 2019.

JASSC, established as a membership organization in 1909 to build meaningful relationships between Japanese and Americans, will honor two individuals who have contributed greatly to promote people-to-people relations, friendship and understanding between Japan and America.

Ms. Marie Kondo, will be honored for her positive contributions to mainstream American’s appreciation of Japan through her best-selling book, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing,” as well as her hit Netflix series, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo,” a cultural phenomenon that has inspired home makeovers, helping American families clear out the clutter — and choose joy.

“It is a deep honor for us to honor Shohei Ohtani and Marie Kondo, especially for all they represent and all they are doing to positively bridge our two countries,” said Douglas Montgomery, chairman of JASSC.

Highlights for the evening include a red carpet with baseball and Hollywood celebrities, dinner and entertainment. The event begins with a cocktail reception and silent auction and concludes with the honoring of Marie Kondo.
