Many big prizes: Mr. Higuma from Nakatsu city got the top prize - a scanner - is very delighted together with his friend Nitanda. My. Ishii, the sponsor of the prize, makes V-sign. Mr. Inao enjoys his prize, a Joker cap.

　　

My husband got a wonderful prize, a Digital Photo Station of Cannon. I got a mouse of Logicool said to be very useful. We were enveyed from others.

Lovely Lillian also got a "2000 Wine bag." She looks very happy. She also got a special present of a special candy pack from Miss Tomonari of COARA office.

Miss Korenaga showed up in her wonderful dress. I remember a nice year-end party we joined last year together in beautiful dresses.
