The Saiwai Shimoina
Wadaiko Festival is on track to becoming one of the largest festivals
in Nagano Prefecture. However, we could not make this event a
success without the generous help of all volunteer staff. We
hope that you will consider becoming a volunteer for the
Saiwai Shimoina Wadaiko Festival.
Some volunteer positions will require Japanese language ability.
Here is a list of volunteer jobs available for the Saiwai Shimoina

event. Therefore, we are looking for anyone willing to help
sponsor this event to make it a complete success year-after-year.
Any of the following levels of sponsorship would be great
appreciated, and if you are a business, your company's name
would be spread throughout Shimoina County through advertisement
of the Saiwai Shimoina Wadaiko Festival.
Possible levels of sponsorship are:
* 50,000yen - 1/4 page space in program (Black and White)
* 100,000yen - 1/2 page space in program (Black and White)
* 300,000yen - Full page in program (Full Color)
Sponsorship at these levels will guarantee a space in the program
open to promote your company, as well as your company's name
on all flyers, posters and other media associated with the presentation
and promotion of the Annual Saiwai Shimoina Wadaiko Festival.
