First get together a group of Japanese Dentists and Dental Hygienists. Although there's over 200 in the Kanagawa Alliance of Dental Volunteers Overseas, today we'll just use 40~50. These are the same individuals that have gone annually to the island of Cebu in the Philippines for the past 28 years performing a two-day free Dental Mission treating between 1,400~1,600 patients each trip ...The same ones that support the educational tuitions and needs for 106 disenfranchised children there. Then add a group of US Navy retirees and vets. We'll call them "Team Que~Maniacs" for their dedication to smoke, burnt meat and beer...They also make the annual soirees to the beautiful island of Cebu. The monies from these BBQs are used for those trips and to add more children to our "Heart Parents" group. Thanx to a record turn-out this year, we'll be able to add about 25 more. From Nursery School as far as they continue their education. We have four attending college, now. Now add 30 Dental College volunteers that wish nothing more than to matriculate and actively join this group. Add in five Filipino executives that made the trip to aid and abet. Five Japanese small groups to cook Japanese, Chinese and Thai foods. Let's say the Bill of Fare looks like this: Roast Steamship Round of Beef 1/4Lb Cheeseburgers 1/4Lb Jumbo Hot Dogs Grandma's Potatoes (Recipe among my others, here) Japanese "Yaki-Tori" Grilled Chicken on a stick Japanese Curried Chicken "Udon" Noodles Japanese Deep Fried Sweet Potato Balls Thai Egg Rolls Chinese Grilled Chicken Philippine "Halo Halo" an Ice Cream float like Dessert American Chocolate Fountain from "ChocoFantasy" for the many kiddies. And to wash that all down! A full service bar from the Windjammer Jazz Cocktail Lounge and Frozen "MangoRitas"~"CalamansiRitas" from Cebu. Last, add the 350+ hungry friends and supporters of this group and fine weather.
