The good thing is...the riverwalk has risen from the ashes!
Don!
It is a viable event because:
Members can socialise while walking
Pathway is easy for families who have kids to walk, prams-friendly
Minimal cost to participate
Easy to add on a yakisoba barbecue after the walk (if the committee decides to)
Goukon
Single JETs can get together in a group speed-dating style
Non-single JETs can come along but must identify as taken
Must state limited liability for JETAA
What is JETAA really about?
Australia Japan relationships
Assisting JETs pre departure and upon return
Maintaining our connection with Japan
Supporting Japanese communities through fundraising, raising awareness
Finally...
Allow us to leave you to ponder on these questions:
How do we have JETAA committee accessible to parents who want to be involved?
How do we retain great members when their family commitments increase?
Any questions or comments?
