We’ll be helping hundreds of visitors “fish” for Yo-Yo Balloons and need JET Alumni volunteers to assist in many areas of the booth – including greeting the guests, explaining the game, prepping water balloons, and assisting children with the game. All volunteers will get a delicious bento lunch, a drink and a free Japan Day t-shirt, plus meet tons of fun people and teach the NYC community a fun Japanese festival game. This year we are having TWO shifts. If you are available for more than one shift that is […]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings above via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings below via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons above via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons below via filter on get_the_excerpt --><div class="at-below-post-arch-page addthis_tool" data-url="https://jetaany.org/2019/04/16/5-12-volunteer-with-jetaany-at-japan-day-in-central-park/"></div><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt -->](https://jetaany.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/yoyo-balloons-115x115.jpg "(5/12) Volunteer with JETAANY at Japan Day in Central Park")

![<div class="at-above-post-arch-page addthis_tool" data-url="https://jetaany.org/2019/02/04/3-27-jetaany-book-club-the-emissary/"></div>Join us in February for a discussion of Yoko Tawada’s THE EMISSARY, winner of the 2018 National Book Award in Translated Literature. Not really sure what it’s about, so let’s ask the experts: “A mini-epic of eco-terror, family drama and speculative fiction.”– Guardian “The Emissary achieves a technically impossible balance of open-hearted fable and cold-blooded satire.”‖ Financial Times “An airily beautiful dystopian novella about mortality.”– Booklist “A Hieronymus Bosch–like painting in novel form.”– Marie Mutsuki Mockett * * * * *The JETAANY Book Club is open to anyone with an interest in Japan and a love of reading. Please join us for a casual, nonjudgmental discussion! Bring $4-5 for pizza; soda will be provided but snacks/dessert/wine for sharing is welcome.
