Winter Meeting in Niseko

Hey there HAJET members!
This year’s winter meeting will be held in the awesome ski resort town of Niseko! Less than two hours southwest of Sapporo, Niseko has various ways you can enjoy the outdoors in winter, whether you’re a ski bunny or not.
This will be the last meeting with the 2010-11 Prefectural Council, and we’ll be handing things over to the new PC. So you won’t want to miss it! We will also be offering two great workshops on Friday night. So if you’re looking for ways to spice up your English lessons or currently researching prospective graduate schools, be sure to join us.
In addition to the fax or email option, thanks to our awesome webmaster Kevin, you can now RSVP right here from the website!
We are also trying to coordinate a charter bus option from Sapporo and back. But we need at least 20 people to sign up to make this happen. So be sure to indicate your interest when you RSVP below. One way is 2000yen, return (roundtrip) is 4000yen.
Please see the meeting packet and pamphlet for details and information on the schedule, location, and events.

Snowmobile Adventures at the Niseko Meeting!
Feb 4th
Where there is a Will there is a way. One of our own membership after a fun weekend away has talked a snowmobile tour operator in Niseko into giving discounts to HAJET members, unfortunately the details only materialized this evening and as such were too late to make it into today’s Polestar. Scott from Niseko Snowmobile adventures is offering any crew that identifies themselves as HAJET affiliated a 30% discount on any of our snowmobile tours. There is a maximum 5 people per tour, but he can run up to three tours a day. Scott has also said he would be happy to cover the cost to have a photographer come along. His company also runs snowcat/snowshoeing tours.
For more details check out www.go-nsa.com or contact scott@go-nsa.com
The packet for the meeting will be released soon, as well as an RSVP form you can fill out on the website!
HAJET Winter Meeting 2010
Jan 25th
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!
