FAQ
Q: I'm a member, but want to bring a friend who is not a member, is that okay?
A: Non-member guests may be approved on a case-by-case basis by emailing info@japanamerica.org. However, please also consider encouraging your friend to become a member of JASSC. Membership sign-up is quick and easy, and only $35 per individual per year! Alternatively, you might also consider expanding your own membership to the Tomodachi, which allows you to bundle 4 individual memberships together for $100 - that's just $25 per person!

Q: I have some allergies, and sensitivities, so I'm worried about cross-contamination...
A: We want all our members to feel safe at this event, so please email info@japanamerica.org to let us know if you have any major allergies, and we'll do a first-call for anyone with allergies to visit the buffet line, to cut down on any possible cross-contamination.
