3/11 Memorial Events at Naka-Kon (Heartland JET Alumni Association)

Heartland JETAA 3/11 Memorial Events During Naka-Kon

In memoriam of the 4th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, Heartland JET Alumni Association, in conjunction with Naka-Kon, will present a series of commemorative events this week.

On Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. we will screen Live Your Dream, The Taylor Anderson Story at the Overland Park Convention Center in the main ballroom.

On Saturday we will sponsor a performance by Kokyo Taiko at 1:30 in the Conference Center Main Concourse.   This group is led by HJETAA Nebraska Sub-Chapter Rep. Maureen Brase-Houchin.

Following the Taiko at 4:30 will be a screening of Tohoku Tomo in the Juniper Room.  Director Wesley Julian will lead an open forum discussion of the film and the recovery effort in Tohoku at 6:00 in the Leatherwood (1) Room.

No admission will be charged for these events but we request you send us your name in advance so we can give a list to Event Security.  Full Access Badges to Naka-Kon can be purchased on the day if you're interested in attending the full conference. 

Please RSVP with your name and the screening event(s) you plan to attend to:  president@heartlandjetaa.org  

Again, while there will be no cost for these HJETAA sponsored events, admission badges will be required for all other venues.  If Naka-Kon Security asks, just tell them you're there for the Heartland JETAA events.
