Christmas Dinner

On December 17th, we had our annual Christmas Dinner.

The Christmas Dinner was a charity event for UNICEF. We were able to raise 56,699 yen so thank you to everyone who contributed.

We had a delicious traditional Christmas dinner that everyone looked like they really enjoyed. For me, it was the honey baked ham, apple pie and eggnog that were most delicious.

Following the dinner, Professor Kanel treated us to a very entertaining Christmas carol sing along. It was lots of fun and I hope that everyone enjoyed the chance to sing along in English.

We also had Santa who put in a special appearance. He gave everyone a present as they left the dinner. The presents were for the secret Santa and I hope that everyone was happy with the presents that Santa gave them.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the Christmas dinner a success. For those who couldn’t make it, remember the Christmas dinner is held every December so please try and come along next year.

We will be having a “Secret Santa” event. What is that? This is an event in which someone brings a gift, 500yen or less, and receives a ticket. At the end of the evening, the ticket is returned and the person receives a gift that someone else brought. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?

We are asking those attending the dinner to dress up a bit. Please don’t wear blue jeans or sneakers. Do try to wear something red.
Please check our website for more information about E-cube’s “Christmas Dinner Charity Event”. If you have made a reservation, we are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Christmas Charity Art Market

Hello everyone.
We had the Christmas Charity Art Market for UNICEF last Monday and Tuesday.















We all had a good time!!! There are about 8 stalls and they were selling all sorts of art and crafts including ceramic plates, cups, post cards, and accessories. We were also displaying art work and photos from Kinki students.




























There were lots of wonderful things for sale. Everything sold was made by Kinki students and the best thing was that everything was really cheap!! Being a charity art market 5% of all proceeds were donated to UNICEF. Thank you to everyone who come along and purchased something from the art market.

Yesterday Nick was making Christmas stockings for the afternoon activity. It was very popular with lots of students here to make a stocking to keep their Christmas candy in.

Don’t forget we have Christmas activities for the rest of the month so please come in and try one or two. Today, you can sit down and relax with Jill and enjoy her ‘Christmas Movies’ activities.

Merry Christmas everyone and we hope to see you all here soon.

Monday, we had a special guest from New York!!!
His name was Sean Lennon, as you may know.

The event at E³ was wonderful. So many students and members of the public had a great time listening to his brilliant music.

After singing, students asked some questions to Sean and he talked about his life, his music, his family and his childhood.
He was a very friendly guy and it was wonderful to see someone so famous yet so down to earth.

It was a really interesting day and all of staff at E3 thoroughly enjoyed it. We hope that everyone who came along enjoyed it too.
Thank you very much to Sean for coming along and for a great performance.
