The Asian Development Bank's headquarters in the Philippines will participate in the TABLE FOR TWO World Food Day celebrations with an event on October 17th (Mon)! They will develop and serve a special TABLE FOR TWO menu item in their cafeteria, with a portion of the proceeds donated to TFT's recipient sites.
Although the event is in a separate location and at a different time, that's what TFT is all about. We have one more participant at our table on World Food Day.

Getting ready for the event in New York!
The event is just two days away. There always seems to be something that falls through, but at the same time there's always someone there to help! We've received the generous support of many people in putting this together, including:
- The SIPA Food Group (a student group at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs)
- The Kitano Hotel, who has provided a gift certificate for a nice dinner for two that will be the raffle prize for the event.
- FUJI Catering, who will provide some delicious appetizers
- Ito En, who has generously provided tea for the event
And many, many more.
Thanks to everyone for their support, and see you on Friday! Don't forget to buy your tickets here: http://itadakimasu2011.eventbrite.com/

If you have any acquaintances in Washington (city, not state), we would be grateful if you sent word on our behalf! Everyone is welcome to come, but we ask that guests RSVP first by signing up here:
We wish everyone good luck getting ready during this homestretch!
Our dedicated “technicians” are working to set up audio and visuals, so it will only be a matter of time until we “see” you and say “itadakimasu!”

Teaching of Steve Jobs
Hi from SF!
It is only a week till the day of the event and we are all excited for the big day!
As I've been promoting for the event, I realized that how much people actually want to get involved in a good cause. San Francisco is what I call "the city of sustainability" so people are generally conscious about social/environmental issues. However, when I approach people and start talking about this event and Table For Two, they always get excited to know more about Table For Two. They might want to join the event for good food and drink/ meet people, but the best part is they can do it for a GOOD CAUSE, which makes them feel really good.. and we feel really good organizing this!
As you all know, the big news here in the Bay Area this week was the loss of Steve Jobs (Founder of Apple).
One of his quotes was,
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful.. that's what matters to me."
（死ぬ時に大金持ちになっているかは私にとってどうでもいい。夜ベッドへ着く時に、今日も素晴らしいことをやったと言えること、、、それが私にとって大切なことだ。）
This is exactly what we feel getting involved in TABLE FOR TWO...
Do you feel the same?
