Jorge/RPA/AJET BBQ Extravaganza!

Hey all!

I hope you are recovering from the event-packed month of August!
But have no fear that the action stops here ; )
AJET will be supporting Jorge in his world-renowned (well at least Tokai-renowned) BBQ party in Gifu City this month!
Many of you may be veterans of these gatherings, but we hope to see lots of new faces this time as well!

HERE'S THE INFO:

Every summer for the past 5 years Jorge (friend of JETs and just about anybody he meets, for those of you who don't know) hosts a BBQ party once a month.
Tons of food is always provided, often including the highest quality Peruvian or Brazilian meats.
Some drinks are also prepared, although people are requested to bring a few of their own
beverages and snacks to make sure there is enough.

In the past activities have included listening and dancing to salsa music, suika-wari (playing pinata with a watermelon and then eating it), swimming in the Nagaragawa River, and hanging out with a great group of people-- not to mention EATING A LOT!

While JET attendance is always high, this is also an opportunity to meet a variety of non-JETs
(Japanese people as well as international community members).

What: Jorge/RPA/AJET BBQ Extravaganza!

When: Sunday, September 23 12:00~
(rain or shine!)

Where: Underneath Kinkabashi Bridge in Gifu City

Fee: 1000yen only!?!

*Donations for Peruvian earthquake victims requested.


CHARITY:

In addition to the normal festivities, this time donations will be requested for charity.
Jorge is Peruvian, and many of you may be aware that a disastrous earthquake occurred in Peru on August 15th.
The earthquake centered 155km south of Lima had a magnitude of 8 leading to over 500 casualties and 1,000 wounded.
The event has left many people without adequate shelter, water, medicine and other supplies.
Through the BBQ we hope to raise funds which will be donated to an organization directly working with victims of the earthquake.

While Jorge's family is safe because they live far away from the epicenter, many Peruvians are trying to recover from devastation.
Anything BBQ partiers could offer will be greatly appreciated. m(__)m
