Locals Show Support For Tsunami Relief Efforts

Naomi Mullarky and Yuki Kremin gathered Newtown Square, Broomall and other locals together for some good food and an even better cause on May 21.

On Saturday, May 21, local residents came out to support relief efforts for Japan. Naomi Mullarkey, Yuki Kremin and many other friends and community members took it upon themselves to put on a fundraiser for the Japanese Red Cross Tsunami Relief effort.

Their goal was to create a relaxed atmosphere of food and music at the Community Masonic Hall in Broomall that would combine Japanese and American cultures as well as raise money.

Local and national businesses were ready and willing to donate food to the event.  The menu had many traditional American barbeque items such as meatballs, hotdogs and barbequed beef. Next to the hot dogs was Takoyaki, a popular Japanese dish made with octopus and shaped like a pancake. They also had delicious curry and rice. Mullarkey and Kremin felt a diverse menu would give the event broader appeal.
