Charity Yoga: Day 2

Hi everyone! this is Madoka.
I joined yoga today.
We had about 10 people and collected $55 from them. YAY!!
I almost fell down on the floor, but it was really good exercise to release daily stress.
I appreciate people who concerned Japan earthquake damages.
JSA keep up supporting Japan with many kinds of people who are different religion and races.
We can do it!!

Fresno State Softball Game Fundraising

This was the fourth event on this Friday.
We got an opportunity to collect donations at the softball stadium in a Fresno State softball game against Hawai'i State.
It was on ESPN and one of good games in this season, so many people visited to the game.
In addition, we could have our table by the entrance, so we could ask many people to donate.

Especially, I remember a lady I asked to donate.
She said she wanted to donate for earthquake and tsunami relief in Japan but had no idea where she should have donated to. Then she put $50 into my donation box.
I think I wrote this in a past post, but I really feel how people concern about Japan.
Also, I feel responsibility to succeed our events in this semester and to send the money to Japan.

As I wrote in the last post, on Monday, we will count the amount of donation we got on Friday.

Thank Hiromi-san, Akira, and Asumi for helping this event.

Maple Mall Fundraising: Day 2

The second day of our fundraising event at the Maple Mall has done yesterday.
I did not know the area is called "Maple Mall," but it is the area located at south to the Satellite Student Union.

Anyway, although it was a really hot day, many volunteers helped this event.
Thank you for helping JSA.
Unfortunately, I could only stay at the table for 2 hours, but I heard we could get a good amount of donations, especially around noon.

The amount of donations we collected will be counted on Monday because four events happened on this Friday.
Once we finish counting, I will post how much donations we got in each event.

Curry and game night

Hi! everyone! This is Madoka Yano.
We had a curry and game night!! It was great.
I had heard scream several times lol.
I think over 40 people came tonight.
Shoko, Yuki and I made curry.
We did good.
I hope no one get stomach ache!

Yoga Fundraising: Day 1

Hi, this is Yuki! We had first yoga fundraising today from 5:00 at IT 290.
Unfortunately, we could not get so much people.
But It was really relaxing, and everyone had fun time!

We have second yoga fundraising from 1:00 at Lab School 134.
Hope there are more people that will come on sunday! If you are interested in, please come and join us!

JSA Intersection Fundraising: Day 1

Before I am going to write about our fundraising activity, JSA has a good news!!!

Finally, we could make the first shot to sell our earthquake-tsunami relief t-shirts!!
Thank Rafael and Gabriel for making t-shirts.
We will continue to sell the t-shirts in our activities.
The price is $10 each, and all profits will be sent for the relief.


In this week, JSA moved our tables to the open area at west side of the Peter's Business Building for our fundraising activity.
Unfortunately, we could reserve the area only on Monday and Friday, and the first day was done.

It was sunny, but strong winds blew, so it was little bit cold.
However, many members helped, we could finished the first day with a success.

On this day, the amount of donations we got is....

$607.66!!


So the total is..


$3,428.11!!

JSA 8th Meeting (3/25/2011)

Hello, all.
This is Tomoki again.

Today, we had JSA 8th meeting at our favorite room, Science II 109.
First of all, we learned how to make ribbons we give to people who donate.
The ribbon is made of a red and white ribbon and a red glass stone.
This is the color of Japanese flag and represents our activity, so we should not just make the ribbons but should make with pray for Japan.

After that, we practiced how to make steamed rice and takoyakis for the Vintage Days.

This is the recipe for takoyaki...

• Ingredients (4 serving)
• Flour 300g
• Iced water 1L
• Egg 3
• Salt 3g
• Hondashi (instant bouillon) 1tsp
• Soy source 2tsp
• Shrimp 1 for each takoyaki
• Direction
• Mix eggs, salt, hondashi, and soy source
• Pour iced water
• Pour flour several times and mix them each time
• Apply vegetable oil on the takoyaki grill
• Pour dough you made into the plate
• Put a shrimp into each takoyaki
• Flip takoyaki when they are hard enough
• serve each dishes

I was surprised that everyone who helped was good at making takoyakis!!

I hope everyone enjoyed making and eating takoyaki with shrimp!!

We have new upcoming events!! So please check below....
