Oi! You! Yes, you! The one that still has not submitted their recontracting paperwork! That deadline is FEBRUARY 8TH.

A reminder to all: whether or not you are re-contracting for the 2008-2009 JET year, your re-contracting response forms are due back into your supervisor(s) no later than February 8th. If you have not submitted those forms to your contracting organizations, please do so as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Tonya or Mandy as soon as possible.

Just a reminder that the deadline for transfering withing the prefecture for the 2008-2009 JET year is this Friday December 7th. If you have any questions, please contact me as soon as possible.

You'll notice that there is a very ugly addition (Panda please don't kill me) to the site, as I am still trying to figure this whole code thing out. I'm just happy it didn't end up in the middle of the restaurant database. I am adding a simple calendar to the site as a planning tool, that and so people have no excuse for not knowing when something is going (if it was on the calendar).

With that in mind - if there is an event you would like like added to the JET Calendar, please email me the details and it will be added. This is not exclusive to work events, this is anything that has to do with the JET Community at large.

Looking for things to do in October? Here's two events going on very soon!
