New JET Sayonara Nijikai

sayonara-main-signature-e1375295696774

 

Please join us after the Pre-Departure Orientation to say goodbye to some of the new JETs who will be leaving for Japan the next day.

The location of the event was selected due to the proximity to the hotel where most of the new JETs are staying.

Tom’s NFL has street and lot parking. The area looks a little dingy outside, but once you get in it’s your typical sports bar.

Friends of JET are welcome at this event.

When: Friday, July 31 at 8:30pm – 10:30pm
Where: Tom’s NFL, 5001 NW 36 St, Miami Springs, Florida 33166

No RSVP necessary.

Visit from CLAIR Representatives

 

Representatives from CLAIR Visit Miami

David (FLJETAA Webmaster), Antonio (a newly returned JET alum), and Bahia (FLJETAA President) attended a dinner with representatives from CLAIR Tokyo, Mr. Shirasaki, Mr. Inoue, and Zachary Bass. The representatives from CLAIR stopped by Miami after visiting Jamaica, then headed back to Japan. They were really interested in what JET alumni in Florida do after JET and if it was related to Japan or if we got into that job or field because of our experience on JET. They were also really interested in whether or not JETAA and JET alumni maintain ties with Japanese people (teachers, students, etc) from our time on JET or if we maintain ties to sister cities of Florida cities.
