Screening on the evening of November 27^th 2021

Having a good day at Kaiga Anime Festival Kaicon at the Claremont Showgrounds? Round it off with an evening at JAFWA this Saturday. Technically this month is the 31^st Anniversary of JAFWA. Are you celebrating in a good way? 🙂

Have you booked interest in JAFWA’s end of year Dinner yet? We have booked for 18 people at Yuki in Willeton, for 6:30PM on Saturday 18^th December. If anymore people wish to come, inform us immediately so that we can adjust the booking. Alo, if you wish to order anything spical, such as sukiyaki.

The end of the year is rapidly approaching (this being the 2^nd last screening of 2021), and we wish to finish as many regular series as possible, so as not to inflict a long break before we resume in 2022. But that means we will have empty timeslots, so before the next survey (being held during the Dinner Break) helps us decide what to show, we have one last preview episode in 2021 for you to consider for next year’s program possibilities.

This week we will be holding our monthly survey to determine which items (be they regular or recent preview) in the JAFWA program that appeals to our discerning audience. Then at the end of the Dinner Break we will have our monthly Member’s Prize draw.

Cash for Containers

As people may have noticed, JAFWA collects the recyclable containers (cans and bottles) that are disposed of by our attendees. It helps in a small way.

if you too would like to help JAFWA, and get rid of your unwanted recyclable containers, then please take them to Containers for Change, and quote JAFWA’s account number – C10505693.

Covid-19 Safety Precautions

We continue taking precautions to limit the possible future waves of CoVid-19, and we ask that you co-operate and even help where possible with our efforts to keep you safe – some social distancing, extra cleaning with antiseptic, library under limited access, etc. Also, we must ask that anyone unfortunate enough to be infected to not attend JAFWA until they are contagion free.
– Help is always welcome during set-up and pack-up due to the extra duties imposed by COVID-19 precautions.
