2025 Survival Series: JET Generations Happy Hour!

The JETAA Chicago Summer Nomikai returns on Wednesday, July 9th! Join your fellow alumni, from 10+ years returned to the new 2025 Outgoing Class, for an evening of fun in downtown Chicago. Come see old friends, build new relationships and swap stories about your time in Japan or what you hope to do once there. This is a great opportunity for new outgoing JETs and older alumni alike to meet and network. The event will be held at Lizzie McNeill's on their outdoor patio (weather permitting, if not, we will be inside) from 6:30 - 8:30 PM on Wednesday, July 9!

Enjoy the wonders of the 飲み放題 (nomihōdai) again or for the first time! Each ticket includes a two-hour party package with soft drinks, draft beer, house wine, and well cocktails. JETAA Chicago will also be providing light appetizers for guests. The cost is $35 per person.

Space is limited, so be sure to purchase tickets in advance. This event is for 2025 outgoing JETs and JET alumni only. You must be 21+ to attend.
