I'd like to give you a report about China Earthquake Charity Sale.

China Earthquake Charity Donation
May 28,29 10am to 5pm at Tomioka Public Hall
Lecture* Asai Mari (UFRA's member)
Coordinators* Vivian, Barbra and Takako Ueda

This Charity Sale idea comes out by chance, decided in a very short time, no much time to prepared. But through many people's support we did a good job for China Earthquake calamity.

On the first day, it was beautiful weather. We had around 30 people came to help ( you can imagine how noisy)Especially Super Tankentai's young mamas. It was first time　for them to make nikuman by their hands. As you know we all amateur so our nikuman is not big enoughlike professional. Soft like store's but our nikuman have a lot of people's Love .

On the second day was raining. We got orders more than first day but only 9 people show up. It makes us strained. No air condition and ventilation fan. When you came into Tomioka Public Hall you can smell some chinese aromas with warm air.

Beside makng nikuman we had some great sale's lady. Thanks Barbra, Meme,Krystyna and Miyahara-san. Without them we couldn't goes smoothly. I would like thanks Local Net Work Section staffs. They willing to support our charity work.. Thank you all again.

Sales Income 171,000 (Nikuman 375 Manntou50)
Donations 21,000

Total 192,000

Welcome New Members!

We are a non-profit organization formed to provide an opportunity for families residing in Urayasu City with similar and different backgrounds to come together and find a connection through games, sports and crafts.

Because we are a volunteer group, we will be asking for your continued help and support throughout the year. Membership is open to all UFRA members and their associates with children from 4 through 10 years old.(Kindergarten – 6th grade). Munchkin Tag-A-Longs(younger siblings) are welcome. All indoor events are scheduled where a playroom is available, with parents asked to please provide care on a rotation basis. All outdoor events also require parental supervision.

Membership is limited to 20 families. If the group no longer has an opening, you are welcome to place your name on a waiting list. You will be contacted as soon as a place becomes available.

SUPER TANKENTAI plans to meet once a month, usually on the 3rd or 4th Saturday (sometimes on Sunday) with most events scheduled for mornings. We require that one parent join their child in taking part in our monthly activities. We hope parents will derive as much as their children from our monthly gatherings.

Fees: All costs, such as crafts, parties, and room rent will be collected or made payable at least one month prior to the event or in some cases on the day of. A sign up sheet will be presented to you upon arrival. We ask that you record your attendance, as well as dues paid. We appreciate your cooperation in attending to these matters. We have made every effort to keep all activities and field trips within a reasonable budget.

We have reached the sixth year for SUPER TANKENTAI and hope that you will enjoy all events planned for the upcoming months. We are always open for your opinions, ideas, or feedback and encourage you to do so.

As leader of this group, I’d like to invite you and your children to join us in exploring new places, discovering new things and learning through adventurous outings. Pack your backpacks and get ready for an exciting year as a member of the SUPER TANKENTAI!!!!!
