HAJET Winter Meeting 2010(Comments Off)

When? Winter Meeting 2010: February 19th – 21st (Fri-Sun)

Where? Furano!

This year’s winter meeting will be held in the beautiful city of Furano, the “Belly Button Town.” Smack dab in the middle of Hokkaido, with a population of about 26,000, Furano is famous for its fragrant lavender fields in the summer, and super powdery slopes in winter. Home to a world class ski resort, winery, jam and cheese factories, and much more, Furano is the perfect destination for a mid-winter pick me up!

With HEC just a couple of months away, and the passing of the torch to our new PC, we have much to discuss at this year’s meeting. Friday night we offer 3 workshops to enhance your life and work experience in Japan. Saturday’s enkai will feature a special sneak preview from the talented folks from the HAJET Musical, and there will be a raffle to raise money for HEC.

This is a great chance to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. You don’t want to miss it!

See you on the slopes!

The 2009 HAJET (MYC) Winter Ball(Comments Off)

Hey there everyone!

The HAJET (MYC) Winter Ball has been arranged, although the nijikai is still pending.

Here are the details for the Winter Ball:

• Place: Poseidon, Jasmac Plaza Hotel 6th Floor
• Date: Thursday, Dec. 3rd
• Time: 8:00 pm until 11:00 pm
• Price: 5,000 yen
• Food/Drink: A “light” buffet and all-you-can drink service are included in the ticket price until 10 11 pm. Vegetarian dishes will be included in the buffet.
• Theme: 1980’s Prom.

Last year’s Winter Ball was a lot of fun; Jasmac Plaza did an overall great job, especially with the buffet. I think that this year will be a blast as well, and Poseidon isn’t your typical party venue! So go to the nearest Second Street or Hard Off, and find yourself something rockin’!

Important Note: Please purchase your ticket before-hand, as Jasmac Plaza must know our final numbers before the event. A very limited number of tickets will be available at the door on a first-come, first-serve basis.

If you would like to buy a ticket, please e-mail hajetsocial@gmail.com.
