JETAA Chapter 9 Texoma Happy Hour/ General Meeting
Thursday, November 20th
Fox & Hound, Westheimer location
Starting at 6:00pm
(see address below)
Come have a drink, socialize, and help plan upcoming events. We would love to hear your ideas!
JETAA Texoma has several tables reserved and will provide plenty of appetizers, drinks and pool to get the creative juices flowing!
As you may have heard, Japan has officially declared a recession and JETAA International anticipates increased cuts to local chapter’s GIA funding. In order to do our part in raising awareness of the JET Program we need to ensure that Texoma has the funds to continue holding these and other great events.
While we will provide drinks and appetizers, if possible, we kindly ask you to contribute $15 to help kick-start Texoma’s first fundraising campaign.
See you all Thursday!
Sincerely,
Chieko Rothengass
