Kebayoran Baru youth reunion

JAKARTA (JP): Members of a 1960s organization grouping teenagers in the South Jakarta Kebayoran Baru area plan a reunion bash with a four-kilometer charity walkathon.

National Police Chief Gen. Dibyo Widodo, who was a member of the group, will launch the walkathon on Sept. 14 which will start and finish at the PTIK field on Jl. Tirtayasa Raya.

Musicians from the Koes Plus band are among the members who have since hit the big time.

The walkathon is open to everyone for a fee of Rp 7,000, which entails a T-shirt, a cap and snacks and drinks.

The proceeds will be donated to orphans and pensioners, Bambang Soeroso, who is coordinating the reunion, said.

This is the group's second walkathon. Last year, it raised Rp 23 million ($8,500) which was donated to the National Foster Parents Fund, Bambang said.

Those intending to take part are required to register with the committee at Jl. Tirtayasa VI no. 9, Kebayoran Baru. (12)
