When speaking of the situation in Japan, Sheryl Harris of the The Plain Dealer, Wrote; "Scam artists spring into action after every global disaster, setting up phony charities." She recommended; "Help victims of the most recent disaster by making sure your donations get to victims. Don't search blindly for charities."
Some of my closest friends and colleagues are Japanese, and I have long held a deep respect for their culture, and their people. Two of those friends are Nami Ohara, a fellow DJ at CHMR, and host of the "Japanese Music & Culture Show". and Mike Toy fomer CHMR DJ now with Coast 101.1.
Terry Parsons, Nami Ohra & Mike Toy will be co-hosting a show called "Japanse Support Show." Presented by Rising Star Promotions, it is "A Wave of Friendshp for the Japanese People".

Christo a anime geek, and had a wonderful chance to visit Japan the last year. He made a lot of friends and a lot who are in the disaster area, he has no way to contact them and he thought this would be a good way to help somehow.
(NOTE:however if he cannot raise enough sponsors money may have to help pay for the rental of the theatre.)
Contact Christo at christo.stassis@hotmail.com if you want to buy advance tickets or you and/your organizations or companies would like to sponsor this event.
Also contact Christo if you want a poster of the event to print and post in any locations near you (bus stops, cafeterias, workplace, bathrooms, etc..)
Cool! Definitely looking forward to seeing you at the japanese culture even on next Thursday. : )
