We are participating in the San Jose 2012 Nikkei Matsuri: April 29

For decades we have been working at the Nikkei Matsuri, held in late spring each year as our fund raising mechanism. This year is no exception. We will be serving Gyoza (pot stickers) and water for attendees. If you are going, stop by (and buy!). If you can spare a couple of hours on that day, between about 9 am and 4 pm, give us a hand. The event date is Sunday, April 29, the location is San Jose Japan Town, 5th and Jackson.

In fact we can also use some help on Saturday morning during the set-up of the event.

Note to High School students, helping at our booth is considered a community service effort and we will issue service reports for you.
