The 2009 Sayonara Party, June 27th - 28th!
OK! Summer is pretty much here, and that means one thing:
PARTY TIME!
The 2009 Sayonara Party (Extravaganza-Hoopla) is coming up, and we need you there! Get ready for a night full of food, drinking, friends, and fun! 85 people is the max, so get on quick!
WHEN: Sat June 27th (16:00) to Sun June 28th (12:00, noon)
WHERE: Fureai no Yakata Kashimo, that big, beautiful, wonderful wooden lodge in Kashimo (ふれあいのやかた かしも）
COST: 4500yen
WHO: anyone and everyone are welcome! Invite your friends! (85 person cap)
***RSVP to gifu_ajet@yahoo. com NO LATER than WED JUNE 24th, 12:00pm noon*** (Make sure "Sayonara Party 2009" is in the subject)
include:
-NAME
-KEITAI #
-COMING BY CAR or TRAIN?
CARS SHOULD BE FULL!
(IF BY CAR, WHO IS THE DRIVER?)
(IF YOU'RE A DRIVER, DO YOU HAVE CARPOOL ROOM? CAN YOU
HELP PICK UP OTHERS FROM THE STATION?)
IF BY TRAIN, WHAT TIME PICKUP? (15:30 and 16:30 on Saturday, if you
don't know yet, RSVP now and let us know later)
-FOOD REQUIREMENTS (Vegetarian or "Regular", Allergies, Etc.)
***LIMIT 85 PEOPLE***
(and don't forget to RSVP for any friends you are bringing with you)
THE PLAN:
The Sayonara Party is held at Fureai no Yakata Kashimo, the same lodge as the Winter Camp. It's a casual party to hang out with friends and just enjoy the evening. There's a small river beside the lodge you can splash and float in and plenty of room inside and outside to chat and play games. Just picture it: a scenic wooden lodge, which is surrounded by beautiful mountains and full of the coolest and sexiest people in Gifu! You could be one of those people!!!
FOOD & DRINK:
Nomihodai draft beer, cocktails, and soft drinks will be available on arrival. Supper will be served around 7:30. It's a pasta extravaganza! Also, salad and snacks. Sunday breakfast will be fruit, cereal, juices, etc.
TRANSPORTATION:
CAR
***We highly encourage you to drive and carpool.*** There's some free parking at the lodge. It's more fun and it saves money for everyone.
We will send directions out at a later time.
TRAIN
***We have limited space for pickups. The first RSVP requests get the first seats. We hope to recruit more drivers to help but we cannot guarantee more than ~12 seats for each pickup time.***
Pickup times are 15:30 and 16:30. If you do not secure a seat by RSVPing early or cannot make those times, you must find your own ride to the lodge or arrange your own pickup.
Train arrival times in Gero:
From the South - 15:15 and 16:24.
From Takayama - 15:22 and 16:19
(Please see http://www.hyperdia .com/ to personalize your train times from your location, the station is GERO)
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
We will collect your payment at the front desk when you arrive and issue you your cup. Please write your name on it bold and clear. YOU ONLY GET ONE CUP!! YOU CAN ONLY USE THAT CUP!! It is the only vessel that can bring the sweet nectar we will be serving to your lips…. It is your baby! Treat it as such.
The lodge has 60 full bed sets. The RSVP limit is 85. Thus the futons are first come, first served. Even if you expect to arrive early, if you are able, please bring a sleeping bag if you can to help someone out. Snuggling up with a friend is also encouraged to save futons.
All guests are expected to help clean the cabin before leaving. When every one pitches in, it makes for quite easy work, especially if we help in other areas after finishing our own. There will be cleaning rosters posted around the lodge. Also, keep in mind that our mess is our cleaning.
Drinks and food are NOT allowed in the tatami rooms. Keep it all to the first floor kitchen, main hall, and outside. Tatami rooms are for sleeping only, no games or chatting. And please respect those already sleeping when you finally stumble into bed.
Smoking is prohibited in all indoor areas.
There will be speakers for music. Bring your iPod/music player if you like.
Don't forget bathing supplies if you plan to shower.
Please don't break anything. But if it happens, please fess up to it. We've sadly had problems with this in the past and AJET has had to foot the bill...
Please be careful if there is rain forecast anywhere in the region. The river can flashflood.
Important: the lodge has a strict 22:00 lights/music/ noise curfew (lights out in main hall, curtains down in kitchen, and music off). We can of course enjoy ourselves all night but we must be respectful and keep things down. After 22:00 the villagers of Kashimo really don't like to be disturbed by merry-making. Every year, the town gets a few complaints. The winter camp is generally not a problem since the cold weather keeps us all inside. With the summer heat, it is much nicer to be outside or have the doors and windows open. Noise carries all too well along the river that makes Kashimo so picturesque. We do not want to scare any one away; we too love a good party. But we ask that you be especially conscious of the noise and keep it to a minimum. It would be a shame and a huge loss if Gifu AJET is no longer able to use the Yakata Fureai Kashimo.
Finally, while this is a gathering of friends please be responsible for your possessions and your behavior. Don't leave valuables out where they can be damaged or taken or spilled on, and please respect those around you with your behavior and language.
***NOTE: we must receive your RSVP information by Wed, June 24th. If something comes up after that please find someone to replace you. If you do not find a replacement and are a no show/last minute cancellation/ missed your train/whatever, you will still have to pay in full.*** (Make sure "Sayonara Party 2009" is in the subject)

June Events!
Get ready to mark your calendars for the AJET events coming up in June!
The next couple months are going to speed on by as many people are getting ready to move home or elsewhere.. so let's go out with a bang folks!
*JUNE AJET EVENTS*
1) Cormorant Fishing
This annual event provides an opportunity to discover the 1,300 year-old-tradition of cormorant fishing as it has been practiced on the Nagara River in Gifu City. For those of you residing in Gifu who have not heard of this famous and time honored industry/tourist attraction, please check out the wikipedia article written primarily by the former Gifu JET CIR Doug Chinery (Cormorant Fishing on the Nagara River: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cormorant_Fishing_on_the_Nagara_River) who interpreted numerous occasions for the Gifu City mayor on cormorant viewings with important foreign visitors (political and otherwise).
We have reserved a private boat, so you can relax with your friends, drink, and talk loudly without worrying about offending small children or the elderly ;) Please bring a bento, beverages and snacks to eat while you enjoy the boat ride! An explanation of the fishing in English will also be offered during the ride, based on years of translation and research that has been passed down to AJET from Doug.
Here are the details:
