Hi everyone. Just a quick update, particularly on our family Okonomiyaki BBQ!

The BBQ is on from 11:00 this Sunday 27 February 2011 at the Kings Park Synergy Parkland.
As always, we will have free okonomiyaki, free hot dogs, free drinks and entertainment including watermelon-bashing, origami, Aussie sports, stilt-walking and hopefully (possibly!) mochi pounding.
Attendance is free for everyone, including non-members who are interested in Japanese or Australian culture. Children are especially welcome!
Please RSVP ASAP and by Friday at the very latest.

Where are they now?
The new editor of the Hyogo Times says:

I’m the new editor of Hyogo Times, and I’d like to include “Where Are They Now?” profiles on our JET alumni when and where I can get them.

Is there a way you could put a request out to (or put me in touch with) those JETs of Hyogo that have moved on? The “Where Are They Now?” form is at our website, under the “About” heading:
