Dearest reader,

How have you been? Are you having a good summer? More importantly, have you been eating well? Miss you lots, xoxo. We should totes hang out with JMAC sometime…like this Saturday!

Join JMAC on Saturday, August 15th for a trip to the Malott Japanese Gardens Summer Festival at the Chicago Botanic Gardens! There will be a tea ceremony demonstration, traditional storytelling, taiko drumming, and more~ This event “officially” ends at 2pm, but members are welcome to explore the Botanic Gardens at their leisure.

For this event, we will be traveling to the Botanic Gardens via metra and will meet at the Ogilvie Transportation Center in front of the Jamba Juice on the second floor of the station. There will be two groups meeting at Ogilvie: a 7:55am group led by Sara (<– me) and a 9:55am group led by Samia. Both groups will meet up 30 minutes before their respective departure time to purchase tickets and to board the Union Pacific-North train to Kenosha.

For more information about the festival schedule, head on over to our Facebook event page. This event will truly be an anticipated Saturday adventure. Hope to see you there!

Best,
Sara S.
JMAC Secretary
