Refugees International Japan is staging its thirteenth annual Art of Dining Exhibition on March 12 2003 at the Westin Tokyo, Ebisu Garden Place.
Leading personalities from media, arts, diplomatic, business and private circles will introduce you to their inspiring table settings, each setting having its own unique theme and reflecting the individual style and personality of its designer.
In addition to the innovative table displays, our generous sponsors have also donated a variety of fabulous door prizes.
The opening ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. Viewing is from 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m.

Refugees International-Japan raises money for needy refugees all over the world. Since it first began in 1979, RIJ has supported nearly 500 projects in more than 40 countries, distributing some $6 million to many thousands of desperately needy refugees.
Our grants are given solely to nongovernmental organizations with a proven track record of effectiveness. These groups provide water, food, shelter, sanitation, medical and rehabilitation support and more where it is needed the most.
R.I.J. is an independent, non-profit all-volunteer organization. We keep our operational costs to less than 5 percent of income so that donations can be used for the benefit of those for whom they are intended -- the world's refugees.
