Everest of Apples Aomori Talent Show & Slave Auction, Hirosaki
Thanks for a fantastic Mid-year seminar and for everybody who came out and supported EofA at this year’s Talent Show/Slave Auction. It was a knock-out!
Especially big thanks are in order and rightly so to those who got onstage to display their talents, sell themselves, or stood out in the audience shouting numbers. Special thanks also go out to all who jumped in to help at the bar and those who helped set up and clean up, there were too many to name. Mika, Leo, and Matt for their help on the sound. JP for pulling a fast one to fill in as MC along with Nat and Kev. Mel, Kev, Joel and Nat for somehow convincing Courtney that they were worth 10man. Courtney for seeing them for what they are collectively really worth, 10man. Ryan for the keg, bartending and the sheet dance. That guy from CLAIR for missing a U2 concert to attend. And to Dan for putting so much of the night together!
The Talent Show/Slave Auction ended up raising 484,773 Yen (after deductions!!!), and 30000Yen of that was from the Slave Auction! That's amazing!
For EofA this really has been a big year of redefining our role as a charity, defining goals, and establishing better communication with the Prajwal School in addition to planning events. That said, it's great to know that so many people support the work that the committee (with our fearless leader Granny Smity aka Nat and accountant Dan) has put in. It's really rewarding when so many people come out, have fun and help make events like this such a success. I hope that you all had a fantastic time. Enjoy your slaves. Well done!

Everest of Apples Dinner and Information Night, Ajigasawa
On Saturday 16th September 2006, Everest of Apples Aomori held its first event for the 2006-7 JET year, a Dinner and Information Night at Ajigasawa Camping Park, Ajigasawa (http://www.ajigasawa.net.pref.aomori.jp/page/shisetu/ryokoumura.html).
This event was not a fundraiser but rather aimed at giving the newbies (and whoever else was interested) a chance to find out more about our Aomori JET charity org (our plans for the year, the Prajwal School, trips to Nepal) while at the same time learn a little about Nepal and Nepalese culture.
Thanks to a wonderful combo of awesome people, delish food, cosy cabins and funky tunes it was an all-round fantastic night and rip-snortin' good time...
Highlights of the night include the dinner itself, Nepalese-style dal bhat, spicy chickpeas and rice, accompanied by loads of beautifully fresh organic veggies and Lois’ handmade cakes for desert and Dan’s presentation on Nepal and the Prajwal School.
To everyone who came along, a HUGE domo arigatou gozaimasu!! I hope you all had as much fun as I did and found out all you wanted to about Nepal, the Prajwal School and our little grassroots charity org, Everest of Apples.
Also, a million thanks to everyone who helped to make it so fab - you are all worth your weight in gold!! I couldn't have done it without you. Really.
