The Bento Club is the parent teacher organization of the Long Beach Japanese language School. The Club meets once a month to discuss school issues. Membership is open to all parents, teachers and students and is free. Parents help with weekly tasks such as preparing and handing out snacks to the students as well as volunteering at events such as the annual LBJCC Summer Carnival and the Taste of Orange Sushi Sale, a major fundraiser for the School. The Bento Club meets on the first Saturday of each month. For a complete list of meeting dates, click here. All parents are invited to participate.
A New Fundraising Opportunity Dear Parents, Teachers and Students; School districts and nonprofit organizations across the county have been dealing with huge budget cuts, but we’ve found a way to supplement our finances. The Bento Club is participating in the FundingFactory® Recycling Program! This fundraiser is FREE and simple because there’s nothing to sell, no paperwork to fill out and no deadline. The program runs year-round, accumulating constant income for our efforts. But we won’t get very far without your support. Please donate your empty printer cartridges and used cell phones to us and we’ll take it from there! We will recycle the cartridges and cell phones through FundingFactory. Last year alone, more than 300 million cartridges were thrown away, while 30,000,000 cell phones were tossed or replaced. We’re alleviating the volume of waste that goes into landfills, while collecting cash we need to keep our school running smoothly. Your help is vital to our fundraising success. Cell phones and cartridges can be dropped off at the main hall of the Long Beach Japanese Cultural Center. FundingFactory also sponsors a businesses support program, where your employer can help out LBJLS without spending a cent. Prepaid shipping boxes can be sent, free of charge, directly to any business, organization or other facility within the continental United States. Business supporters simply need to load the boxes and leave them for the next UPS pickup. If you work for a company that may be interested in supporting us, please call FundingFactory toll-free at 1.888.883.8237. Give the customer service representative our school identification number, available from Mark Morimoto, and they’ll set you up to support our account. If you have any questions about this great opportunity, please feel free to e-mail us. Thank you for your support!
