The 16th Annual Suwa Charity walk

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005, 8:10 AM - 2:00 PM

Speaker: Dr. Tokio Okino

This is a morning and afternoon day event in which people are invited to join JALT Shinshu in a walk around Lake Suwa to the Kamaguchisuimon Kanritou. Donations are invited to go to a local enviromental group dedicated to cleaning the lake and its surroundings. It is a family event which welcomes children and everyone interested in the local environment. Starting in the morning, members of the Shinshu University Research team will accompany participants walking around the lake and, on the way, talk to them about ecological issues in language which is easy to understand. When we arrive at the Kamaguchisuimon,we will have a Forum with a quiz for children about their walk and the environment of the lake. There will also be a short musical concert.

Meet at 8:10 a m at the lakeside Katakura Fureiai Nagisa (the outside auditorium). We will take a ferry back after the forum around 2pm. Please bring lunch, something to write with for the quiz and good walking shoes!
