Aloha Joy of Sake Volunteers
(Veterans and Newbies)
Joy of Sake is coming up on August 9, and we’ve scheduled a training session for all volunteers. We hope you will be able to attend and help out this year. We’re meeting on Thursday after work, so bentos will be provided for everyone.
| Date | Thursday, July 18 |
| Time | 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. |
| Place | Foreign Trade Zone [map] 521 Ala Moana Blvd. (Conference Room 202) |
| Parking | Turn makai into Chanel Street from Ala Moana Boulevard, between Punchbowl and South Streets (across street from Restaurant Row). The street dead ends after about 150 yards at the Foreign Trade Zone building. There are lots of parking stalls outside. Someone will be on hand to show you to Room 202 on the second floor. We encourage volunteers to carpool or even not drive since there will be sake sampling after the orientation. |
Volunteers will need to have some basic sake knowledge, which we’ll go over at the training. Rikio will explain the layout of the tasting tables. If you have a preference for junmai, ginjo or daginjo sections please let him know. There will be handouts with answers to the questions guests ask most often at Joy of Sake Honolulu.
| Date | Friday, August 9 |
| Time | 5:30 p.m.–9:00p.m. Volunteer Check-In from 4:00 p.m.–4:30 p.m. |
| Place | Hawaiʻi Convention Center Kalakaua Ballroom (rooftop) |
RSVP required for training. To sign up, please email or call Rikio at 233-9986. Please respond by Monday, July 15!
Mahalo,
Joy of Sake Ohana
