 PLACES TO SEE, THINGS TO DO WITH NIKKEI HORIZONS
TOURS LUNCH BUNCH Join us once a month for lunch in the fine company of your Nikkei Horizons comrades. These outings are a fun way to stay connected with your peers and try new and different restaurants around Puget Sound. Often there's a little time for shopping or sightseeing along the way, as well. The first outing is decided for you, and the last two will be decided by the group from a list of options presented by your escort. Price includes transportation and lunch for your escort and driver (this is a necessary adjustment from last quarter). Participants pay for their own meal. You may join us for all three outings, or just one or two, but be sure to let us know on your registration form which dates you'll attend. Our first lunch will be at Tuna House Japanese Cuisine, near Bellevue Community College, serving fresh and fantastic Japanese food. • 10:45 am-2:00 pm, Wednesdays, April 26, May 24, June 28
