Semarang, July 30, 2024 – Concluding the school holiday season at the end of July, Aston Inn Pandanaran Semarang organized a series of closing activities including Kids' Table Manner batch 2, a Blood Donation drive, and a Kids' Coloring Competition.

The first event was the Kids' Table Manner Batch 2 on July 13, 2024. Building on the success of batch 1, this second batch was also a success, attended by approximately 50 children. They enjoyed all the activities, starting with Ice Breaking, creating sandwich creations, live cooking with Chef Ganjar making spaghetti carbonara, a milkshake demo with Kakak Regita from the F&B team, bed-making with Kakak Darwin, and the highlight of the event, table manners training with Kakak Oni Almuchlisun Putra, Restaurant & Banquet Manager, who guided and taught proper dining etiquette.

Next was a social activity, the blood donation drive, in collaboration with the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI). Aston Inn Pandanaran held the event on Friday, July 26, 2024, in the Athena room. With the theme Stay Healthy, Save A Life, we aimed to encourage hotel employees, members of Masjid Al Fitri, and the general public to maintain their health by donating blood. Additionally, donating blood is an act of charity, providing life-saving blood to those in need.

Lastly, to close the series of school holiday activities on July 27, 2024, Aston Inn Pandanaran Semarang held a Kids' Coloring Competition. In collaboration with Faber Castle, the event took place in the Asher room from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The competition was divided into two categories: Kindergarten (ages 4-7) and Elementary School (ages 8-12). The event began at 10:00 AM with a welcome speech from the management, represented by Mr. Oni Almuchlisun Putra, Restaurant & Banquet Manager. Before the competition started, the children were entertained with a magic show to ease any tension. Registered participants received a lunch box and certificate. Winners in both categories received trophies, room vouchers for first-place winners, 50,000 IDR bread vouchers, and free room upgrade vouchers for second and third place.

"We are proud to host a series of activities during this school holiday season, combining education and entertainment with Kids' Table Manner, a social activity with the blood donation drive, and ending with the coloring competition, which helps develop patience, concentration, motor skills, and creativity in children. Additionally, the Kids' Coloring Competition is part of our celebration of National Children's Day on July 23," said Ibnoe Ichwan Chambali, General Manager of Aston Inn Pandanaran Semarang.
