Year End Potluck Dinner

Presenters:  JALT Hokkaido members, family, and community
Date:  December 11, 2011
Time:  4:00 - 7:00pm
Event Description: 
JALT members, families, and friends are all invited to share in this informal occasion.  Home-cooked turkey as well as soft drinks, coffee, and tea will be provided. Everyone is asked to bring a favorite holiday dish to share with 10 people.   In order to guarantee a variety of holiday food, please contact Mary Virgil-Uchida at maryvirgiluchida@me.com to let her know what dish or food you will be bringing.  Those who are not members of JALT are requested to give a donation of 1,000 yen in addition to a holiday dish.

In addition, we will once again have a silent auction for Project Santa.  Every year we make about ¥20,000 which will buy a lot of presents for children who are living in local orphanages.  Go through your closets and bring items to donate to the auction.

Note that you need to use the small side entrance, to the left of the main entrance to the school.  The doors will open at 4:00 and we will start to eat at 5:00.  We have made arrangements for use of the gym, so please come early and enjoy a game of kickball or basketball, or just let the kids run around.  It’s a good idea to wear warm clothing, and you may want to bring your own slippers or indoor gym shoes.
