I am organizing a monthly luncheon to collect donations for the victims of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of March 11th 2011.
I lived the earthquake of Kobe in 1995 and I have first-hand experience of surviving a traumatic event like this. This compels me to find ways to help the victims of this tragedy, and I am asking you to help too.
I plan to support the Japanese Red Cross: At the moment they are only accepting checks made out to "Consulate General of Japan", so please bring your checkbooks!
We will share a simple lunch much like the earthquake victims are eating at their camps (sorry, no sushi). There will be an entry fee of $10 at the door to cover for lunch, a portion of which will be donated to Japan.
