Leavers, we're sorry to see you go, but we're determined to send you off in the style you deserve! And for that, we've secured the Phoenix restaurant on the top floor of the Sun Royal Hotel! It's located at Yojiro 1-8-10 and we've got shuttle information for you a little further down. You'll be treated to an amazing view of Sakurajima as a nice reminder of the time you spent here in Kagoshima!
The festivities will kick off at 7 pm and go until around 9. You'll be treated to performances featuring the musical talents of great Kagoshima performers such as Kennard Xu, Gabe Santos, Andrew Gonzales, Anne Recinos, Catriona MacArthur, Neil O'Briain, Colin Lawrence and Perry Pollard!
We will also have a slideshow to remember the leavers and all the great times we had with them during their time in Kagoshima! Think memories!! If you could sum up your stay in Japan with a couple of photos, what would they be? What’s been the highlight of this magical adventure? Whether it was somewhere you went, or the people you were with, please send your most memorable photos to Catriona (catriona_mac@hotmail.com) as soon as possible. Onegaishimasu! And remember, you don't have to be a leaver to send in pictures! If you've got a memorable photo of or with a leaver(s), feel free to send it in!
There is a shuttle bus to Sun Royal that leaves from Kagoshima Chuo at 6:32, Tenmonkan at 6:37 and arrives at Sun Royal at 6:55. These are the best buses to get to the event on time and we encourage everyone to get to either Kagoshima Chuo or Tenmonkan early enough to catch them! KAJET representatives will be at both locations to meet you for these buses. The Tenmonkan bus will pick you up from in front of the Docomo shop across the street from Takapla and the Chuo bus leaves from in front of the other buses.

In order to give the leavers the send-off they deserve, we've decided to make this a semi-formal event (although if you'd prefer to dress casually, that's fine, too). And please invite anyone you know who'd like to join in! Co-workers, friends, significant others, etc. -- the more the merrier! This is usually the biggest event of the year and that's a tradition we hope to continue!
The base price for the event is ¥4900. If you're a KAJET member, you only have to pay ¥4700 and if you're among the few who are moving on from life as a Kagoshima JET, you'll only pay ¥4500!
Also, as KAJET membership is only for a year at a time, we've decided to make it easier for you to either renew or sign up. Usually, KAJET membership is ¥500, but for this event, you can sign up for the next year for ¥300! Your membership will be valid for the 2011-2012 JET year and you'll be entitled to discounts for all KAJET events during that period!
So we can have accurate numbers in time for the event, we ask that everyone RSVP by Saturday, July 2nd! If you have any guests you're bringing, let us know how many and who they are! Please RSVP by sending an e-mail to kagoshima@ajet.net.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
