July 10th Mariners Game

Published by parkhr under AAAW Events

We have tickets in the first level, just above the left field wall, for the game versus the New York Yankees. You buy the ticket and we’ll provide the food (all you can eat hamburgers, hot dogs, regular fries, popcorn and cookies) and drinks (water and sodas)…tickets are $34 each and you get a value of over $55!

We have the 300 level landing above left field for our dining area (by the BBQ area), starting when the gates open at 5:10 pm–great views of the city, the sound and the field, where we can watch batting practice while we eat some great ballpark fare! As the game gets ready to start at 7:10 pm, we will head down to our seats on the 100 level. Come early for food and drinks and stay for the game to cheer the Mariners.

If you are KIDS campers, add your number of tickets to your registration sheet we’ll get you tickets during camp!

Korean Cooking Demonstration & Lesson!

Published by sarahkimr under AAAW Events

Korean.food-Hanjungsik-01

Please join us for the first AAAW event of 2010!  This is a great opportunity to learn the basics of what every Korean kitchen should have on hand as well as to learn how to make a few dishes, including doenjang jigae (bean paste stew), kalbi jjim (beef short rib stew), and various jeon (fried pancakes) & other panchan (side dishes).  This lesson will be simple but will go beyond the typical Korean dishes (bulgogi, kimbap, kimchi, etc.)!  After the cooking lesson, we will all enjoy the fruits of our labor by enjoying a delicious meal together.

Our instructor is Skye Lee, a Korean woman who grew up in Canada who is also a friend & supporter of AAAW.  She works in finance by day but loves to cook & entertain when she has the opportunity.  She has graciously invited AAAW members to her home in order to share her wealth of knowledge in making Korean cuisine.

DATE:     Sunday, January 24, 2010

TIME:     3:00 – 6:00 p.m.

PLACE:   Address & directions will be sent to those that RSVP (neighborhood is north Seattle)

COST:      $5 per person (please pay by cash or check on day of event)

RSVP:     **Due to space considerations, registration for this event is now CLOSED!  Contact sarahkim@aaawashington with any questions/concerns.
