Comments Off on Volunteer Opportunity: Sakura Matsuri 50th Anniversary (D.C.)
Via Marc Hitzig (Niigata-ken, 1992-95) of the Japan-America Society of Washington, D.C. is seeking volunteers to help with the planning of their 50th Anniversary Sakura Matsuri:
Dear JETs & Friends of JET (FOJs),
Next year marks the 50th Anniversary of Japan-America Society’s Sakura Matsuri – Japanese Street Festival to be held on Saturday, April 10, 2010. We have already started to prepare for the largest Japanese street festival outside of Japan. We are looking for people who are interested in helping us make it all happen and willing to commit a little time for us.
The festival is broken up into different committees led by a Committee Chair. We have several Committees that still have Sub-chair positions that need to be filled. Sub-chairs work under the Committee Chair to facilitate any help they need before or during the festival.
If you have experience in event planning or like taking managerial roles, please contact Marc Hitzig (mhitzig [at] us-japan. org) or Ms. Nobu Iwata (iwata [at] us-japan. org) at JASW for more information.
If you are interested in volunteering and getting involved but cannot commit the time to become a sub-chair, we still need many people to help us on the day of the festival! We will start recruiting for “Day-of volunteers” in December.
Thank you,
Marc Hitzig (Niigata-ken, 1992-95
