Here is another event to talk about finance and investing to follow up on the one the International Women’s Network hosted a few months ago. There will be a short presentation by Stefanie Richert from Banner Japan (http://www.bannerjapan.com/) followed by a Q&A. The purpose of this meeting is to give people (especially women, but men are also welcome to join) ideas about ways of saving and investing their money for retirement or other purposes (your education, your child’s education, trips abroad, buying a house, etc.)
Date: Saturday, June 9, 2012
Time: 10am to 12 noon
Place: Ninomiya House, 10th floor salon
Please RSVP on the Facebook event page below.

Following last month’s meeting, there were many requests for the recipes prepared by several members. So this month we thought it might be a good idea for people bringing home prepared food to share their recipes during the evening.
If you are too busy to cook you can simply bring a favourite recipe from your country or region and explain the ingredients, where they can be bought and if necessary their Japanese name. Also if you have read the book you swapped last time bring it along and tell us what you thought. Other books, magazines also welcome.
We hope to see as many of you as possible.
This meeting is open to all.
Date: Thursday, April 22, 2010

It has not been possible to organise a “A Night at The Oscars” as we did last year but instead A BOOK SWAP EVENING has been proposed. Please bring a book (or two) which you have enjoyed and are willing to part with. Although English books will probably be the most numerous, any book in any language is acceptable.
The evening will take the form of a “POT LUCK” buffet. Soft drinks will be provided. We hope to see as many of you as possible.
Date: Thursday, March 18, 2009

Invitation to Join Cooking Class
The following message is from Cheryl Okubo.
I’d like to invite you to join a cooking class (taught in English and Japanese) at my dear old friend’s cooking school in Tsuchiura. It is held on Saturday afternoons, from 3 – 5:30 pm. The teachers are very professional and extremely friendly, giving the class a wonderful atmosphere despite the old building. It has been in operation for over 40 years and they have over 10,000 delicious recipes! There is an initial fee of 10,000 yen, plus you have to purchase a cutting knife and leave it in the kitchen, but the monthly fee is very reasonable compared to other cooking schools, at just 12,000 per month. The cooking consists not only of Japanese foods but also Italian, Chinese, French and ethnic dishes. Everyone enjoys eating the food together at the end of the class, becoming quick friends. If you’re interested, call Teruko at Tsuchiura Ryori Kyoushitsu 029-821-2395 or 029-822-2253. The latter number is also a fax. Their homepage is in Japanese at http://www.tsuchiura-ryori.com. Enjoy!

Because the potluck is being hosted at someone’s house instead of a public facility this month, we would like to ask you to contact us if you are coming.
Vivian will provide some plates, cups, chopsticks, napkins, Japanese shochu if you want to have some, and teas like mugi-cha, o-cha.
