River Park Fundraising & Yard Sale

Hello JSA members.

This is Tomoki.

On April 30, we had a fundraising event at River Park.

We set up a table between Teazer's and Yoshino and collected donations.

I thought more people walked the pass way, but many people walked by the cinema or near Target, so we had to move around.

But I think we could successfully finish this event. We could get a few hundred dollars and hand out about four hundred flyers for the yard sale.

Thank you, Chris, Christina, Jared, Madoka, and Takahashi-sensei for helping this event.

On May 1, our last fundraising event, JSA yard sale, was done.

We started preparation at 6:30 a.m. and started the sale at 8 a.m. Since we handed out several hundred flyers, many people came to buy the items in the morning. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to set up fishing games and to cook onigiris until around 10 a.m., we could not get good sales from food and games. 

However, we could collect good items to sell, we sold more than $1,000!!

And our last event was successfully done.

I really appreciate members who helped this event, especially, Chris, Jared, Madoka, Kyle, and Takahashi-sensei. They came there in early morning and stayed until the end.

JSA Yard Sale Tomorrow!!

As you know, we have a big event, JSA Yard Sale, tomorrow!!
We are still looking for volunteers who can help to sell the items, to make onigiris and snow corns, and to supervise game spaces, so if you can help, please let us know or just come to the parking lot.
Or you can come to the event and have fun!!
We also have games like scooping bouncy balls.

JSA Charity Yoga on KMPH26 Great Day

Hello all.
This is Tomoki.

In this morning, we did yoga at Peace Garden on campus. It was broadcasted on KMPH Fox 26 Great Day (Local morning live show).
We gathered at Peace Garden at 4:30 a.m., but there was a car chase in Madera this morning, and they reported it, so our actual yoga event began around 6 a.m.
They broadcasted our yoga sessions, and we had interviews from the reporter, Mr. Clayton.

Due to this event, we could show what we are doing to the community. Also, we could advertise our yard sale on this Sunday, May 1.

Thank you all who joint this event!!
