Groundbreaking is expected to take place this fall. A separate JASC Housing Corporation under the. leader­ ship of Thomas Teraji is working hard overseeing the development of the project. A fund raising committee headed by Noboru Honda has raised more than $100,000 in funds to pur­ chase necessary furnishings not covered by the loan. We are most grateful to these leaders and to the community for their generous moral and financial support. The future of JASC is seriously being studied through several avenues. A Nisei needs assessment study led by Dan Kuzuhara, a long range goal task force, and discussions between board and staff are helping to shape and articulate long range purposes and goals of the agency. With the increasing debility of lssei being served in the sheltered work center and increasing age of the Nisei population, questions of changes in direction· of services loom larger in the next few years. Much of the efforts of the Board are directed to raising funds for the agency. We are grateful for our many supporters, both members and friends, who participate in fund raising events. We are also thankful for an ever-increas­ ing number of volunteers who help us in many different ways. Most of all, we are fortunate in having a dedicated group of staff workers under the direction of Masaru Nambu who work in. partnership with the Board of Direc­ tors to assure the quality of life of our people.«?-> Senior Citizens Work Center .q,..q,.,q, The Senior Citizens Work Center, a sheltered workshop begun in 1960, continues to offer a therapeutic work centered environment for elderly Japan­ ese and other Asian clients and those from the Edgewater-Uptown Mental Health Center. Although the Center serves to supplement small incomes of the elderly, its more important work is to help them retain their sense of self-worth. The staff is receiving in­ service training to equip them to better relate to total life needs of the aged. The Center serves over 100 individuals each day. The Work Center is now looking for clients among retired Nisei as the number of lssei capable of continuing work in the Center diminishes. Some changes in kinds of work handled may be necessary in the next few years to meet the differing needs of Nisei. ,q, Social Service Department .,q,,.q,,.q, The Social Service Department of JASC offers counseling, group work, homemaker and outreach services. This year, group counseling among lssei was added to individual and family counsel­ ing. The staff of 11 includes both professional social workers as well as homemakers, teachers and aides. The Department receives part of its support from the Community Fund, Mayor's Office for Senior Citizens, and Catholic Charities. The comprehensive services offered include educational, social, nutritional and medical programs, meals-on-wheels, telecare, homemaker services and home visitations. Day care for the aged is one of the programs under consideration. The Department carries on a continuous re-evaluation of programs in its attempt to maintain an optimum quality of services. This Department will be pressed into more intensive programming within the next three to five years with the opening of Heiwa Terrace. .,g. Lillian Kimura President of the Board .. ► EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT .,q,.q. .q, Once again as we leave irretrievable time behind, we sense both the agony of a continuing search for right directions and a jubilant sense of accomplishment in our improved ability to deliver quality human care. Heiwa Terrace, the congregate housing for the elderly and handicapped, is no longer a dream but a reality to which the community has responded overwhelmingly and generously. We look forward to planning a coordinated service delivery to residents. During the past year, the agency provided 75% more counseling services to individuals, families and groups than in the previous year. Significant increases in counseling have been seen for Nisei, Japanese nationals and recent immigrants, and other Asians. Medical referrals for aging lssei have more than doubled and homemaker services have increased 40%. Many new educational programs have been established. JASC provided active programs in cooperation with the Illinois Division of Vocational RehRbilitation during the past year. These activities are expected to increase during the coming year. The staff is receiving training in the fields of gerontology and rehabilitation to better equip them for assisting aging lssei. The Work Center continues to be an important component of the Edgewater­ Uptown Community Mental Health Center. Funds from the Woods Charitable Foundation has made it possible to begin a study of Nisei needs in the Chicago Metropolitan area, data from which will be received in December 1977 and be applied toward the creation of appropriate services. As we look back on achievements during the past year, we are cognizant of our continuing obligation to offer more diverse and innovative human service programs correlated with emerging new pr,ont,es. Necessary changes in direction must be faced with determina­ tion, dedicatio,n, and courage. This can be a springboard to a new era in JASC history.«?-> Masaru Nambu Executive Director Other Services .,q,� Blood Assurance program covering 6000 individuals Hand-in-Hand educational group for exceptional children Tutoring for school children Translation and referral services Special Fund Raising Events «;>-,,.q,.,q, Market Day, JASC, June 5, 1976 Fuji Festival, Marriott Motor Hotel, September 26, 1976 Benefit Concert with Minoru Nojima, pianist, Orchestra Hall, March 29, 1977 FISCAL YEAR 1977 BUDGET ._q,,,q,..q, Rehabilitative Workshop / Subcontract Income / Contributions General Use Miscellaneous Income Service Fees Dept. of Vocational Rehab.

It should review where it has been and determine what new directions it must take to stay in stride with or be in the vanguard of changing times and needs. For the Japanese American Service Committee, this process of assessment and renewal began during the 1977-78 program year. The Board of Directors appointed a Long Range Study Committee under the chairmanship of Kiyo Yoshimura to evaluate present programs and services and to enlist community input in .determining what JASC should be doing five to ten years from now. To help give direction to the future of the agency, three separate studies were conducted: • Board member Hiroshi Kanno headed a committee of professionals in the field of gerontology to assess the Senior Citizens Work Center. Faced with the reality that the mean age of lsseis in the Work Center is now eighty, the committee explored the possibility of attracting new clients. Hard questions were asked: Will Nisei become involved in the Center as they retire from the labor force? What about the elderly from other racial and ethnic groups? What type of work contracts are suitable for the aging lsseis? Should the Center be reduced in scope or terminated? • Under a grant from the Woods Foundation, a second study - the Needs Assessment Study of Niseis in the Chicago Metropolitan Area - was conducted by Dr. Dan Kuzuhara, Director of the Institute for Adulthood and Aging of Northeastern Illinois University. Questionnaires were sent out; interviews were conducted; observations were made. As Niseis reach retirement, what concerns and needs do they have? Are they preparing adequately for a different lifestyle? What services should JASC provide to meet the needs of the Nisei? • As costs of operating an agency such as JASC have been rising rapidly, the third study had to do with financial development and public relations. John De Michele and Associates were contracted to do a feasiblity study in which they explored sources for new funds for JASC. Subsequently, the firm was hired to conduct a major capital fund campaign over a three-year period. There is great need for the JASC to diversify its funding base so that it will not be nece5$arf tocartml-services or reduce staff as we have had to do this year because of financial pressures in the Work Center. In the meantime, concern for the lack of privacy and the congestion in the office area resulted in the Board's approving a renovation project. Mieki Hayano, a long-time Board member and supporter of JASC, designed a new layout for our offices. This newly remodeled space should produce more effective and efficient service delivery. As Board President, I am grateful to the Board members for their continued commitment and support in making the difficult decisions that will move the agency forward; to the staff who have repeatedly worked beyond the call of duty in providing services to clients and also in participating in Board-sponsored fund-raising and public relations events. Many, many other persons have given precious time and money to assist us in our work. It is all of us together who have made JASC what it is today-an agency with a nationwide reputation as a model self-help effort. Lillian C. Kimura/ President, Board of Directors Executive Director's Report The 1977-78 agency year was filled with events and projects that should have far-reaching effects on the future of the Japanese American Service Committee. As the President points out in her report, three research projects were conducted to shape that future. Concerned about the aging lssei participants in the sheltered workshop program as well as other vulnerable and handicapped elderly in the community, JASC was ready to react when the possibility of new funds arose for programs to serve this segment of the population. The new funds are expected to become available as the result of the Governor's proposal to provide federal matching funds in meeting critical social service needs in Illinois. The United Way of Metropolitan Chicago in turn agreed to provide a portion of the local matching funds to private service providers. The program proposed by the JASC, with Board approval, would provide a Day Care Center for the Elderly to meet the changing needs of the lssei elderly and prevent their being institutionalized. Applications for funding have been submitted to both the Illinois Department on Aging and the Mayor's Office for Senior Citizens and the Handicapped. It is expected that funds will be made available under Title V of the Older Americans Act to renovate a part of the sheltered workshop area-approximately 2000 square feet-to serve as the Day Care Center for the Elderly. The proposed Day Care Center for the Elderly is expected to be implemented in the coming year to meet the needs of persons who should remain in a familiar environment rather than be placed in institutions. This program should also assist Niseis and other children of senior citizens by alleviating emotional and psychological stress in caring for their elderly. Another renovation project has been completed to transform the JASC office area, providing a warmer and more inviting atmosphere at the building's entrance and more effective quarters for the professional staff and the agency's clients. Significant shifts in the content of the programs have been taking place during the past few years. In view of the aging condition of the lsseis in the sheltered workshop program, the chief focus has been on the program's therapeutic value. At the same time, more emphasis has been placed on counseling to prepare the lssei clients for alternative programs such as the Day Care Center. Programs originally designed for lsseis-homemaker service, arts and crafts classes, cultural and educational programs, and casework counseling-have been expanded to accommodate the increasing number of Niseis and Sanseis coming to the agency for these services. The improved liaison with the Illinois Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and its counselors' recognition of the capabilities of JASC facilities and staff have resulted in our serving more DVR clients this year than in the past. We look forward to our continued partnership with DVR. The financial difficulties experienced during the first half of the 1977-78 fiscal year necessitated reductions in the staff and the agency budget. However, improved funding and careful management made it possible to reduce the year-end deficit far below the projected sum. The fiscal condition of the agency should be improved after the Major Fund Raising Campaign has been concluded. In retrospect, I feel that significant steps were taken throughout the past year to pave the way for new and effective programs in the community. These steps should have great impact on the agency's future and those it serves. I foresee the JASC's serving more people, more needs, and in greater depth. Masaru Nambu/ Executive Director Social Services The Social Service Department of the Japanese American Service Committee offers individual and family counseling; information and referral service; educational, cultural, and social programs; homemaker services; meals-on-wheels and hot lunch programs; health-related programs; outreach services; and a library. The educational and cultural programs consist of lecture series on various subjects; English and Japanese language classes; orientation to the American way of life; movies; chorus; arts and crafts-cooking, ceramics, amimono, flower arrangement, karuta-kai, harie, quilting, sewing, temari-making, parasol-making, Japanese doll­ making, bead craft, silk flower making; and shodo and penji. The social program, primarily for lsseis, features monthly parties and outings. The past year's activities included movies; blueberry picking in Indiana; a picnic in Schiller Woods; and visits to the Milwaukee Zoo, Starved Rock State Park, Northbrook Shopping Center, the Culture Center at the Chicago Public Library, the Field Museum, Arlington Park Race Track, and Delavan, Wisconsin. In-home services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, and cooking-were made available to homebound clients. Some 53 lsseis, 11 Niseis, and 18 Japanese nationals were served in this program in 1977-78. On weekends around the noon hour, the JASC is the scene of the Golden Diners Club. Under Title VII of the Older Americans Act, hot lunches are offered to persons 60 years and over at 50¢ to $1.25, depending on ability to pay. No one is refused because of inability to pay. With a daily average of 88 participants, 83 percent are lsseis and the remaining 17 percent come from the community. For the homebound, a meals-on-wheels service is offered three times a week. The health-related program encompasses blood­ pressure checks, dental care, flu shots, foot examinations, diabetic detection tests, glaucoma tests, body dynamics, and lectures on health care. In the JASC Library both English and Japanese books are available, many of which have been donated by the Chicago Public Library. Many of the books and pamphlets are on subjects related to Japanese Americans. The library is open on week days from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The JASC reaches out door-to-door and into the community to promote awareness of the services it offers. It also works through community organizations to identify potential clients. The staff of 16 includes professional social workers, homemakers, group workers, teachers, and aides. Under the direction of this staff, some eighty volunteers make it possible for the JASC to carry out its many programs. Out of the ranks of the volunteers come instructors for the classes, hot lunch program helpers to serve meals, doctors and nurses for the · medical programs, those skilled in arts and crafts to make handicraft items for Market Day, friendly visitors for the isolated elderly, interpreters for the various programs, helpers for special events, homemakers to visit the homebound, and persons to deliver the meals-on-wheels and to escort clients. Summer activities for young children and intergenerational cultural programs were new services offered during the past year. Other new programs are in the offing for the near future, the most prominent of which will be the Day Care Program for the Elderly. This, along with the opening of Heiwa Terrace, will necessitate increased activity in counseling, in-home services, and cultural programs. The Social Service Department receives part of its support from the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago and the Mayor's Office for Senior Citizens and the Handicapped. Ii �, ij ;; j '- Sheltered Workshop The major purpose of the JASC Senior Citizens Work Center is to provide effective therapy in dealing with the clients' physical and psychological problems of aging. The activities and climate offered by the sheltered workshop are designed to retard, arrest, or reverse the negative psychological aspects of aging. These include social isolation, emotional regression, problems arising from major role changes, and depression following personal or health loss. For persons at the poverty level, even with aid from social security and other financial resources, the sheltered workshop offers renumerative employment. This can have profound effects in strengthening the ego, weakened through loss of customary productive roles; in relieving and reducing stresses arising from enforced inactivity and reduced income; and in fostering successful aging. The sense of belonging, the ability to contribute to the welfare of others, and maintaining the uniqueness as Japanese are important to the lssei. The increasing dependency of the lssei calls for considerable support from their peers and groups such as the Senior Citizens Work Center and the Japanese American Service Committee. In addition to lsseis and a few Nisei retirees, the sheltered workshop also serves clients referred by the Edgewater Uptown Community Mental Health Center, with which JASC is affiliated. For this service, JASC receives funds from the Illinois Department of Mental Health and the National Institute of Mental Health. Vocational Evaluation Job Training Working with the Illinois Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, JASC conducts a rehabilitation program for psychiatric aftercare patients, 70 percent of whom are residents of sheltered-care facilities. Although rehabilitation programs are generally available to this population in the Chicago area, they tend to be limited in time. They also screen out persons unlikely to be rehabilitated for competitive employment because of serious and chronic psychological and related functional impairment, age, etc. The JASC sheltered workshop, on the other hand, is almost unique in the area in offering long-term sheltered employment. The program is also unusual in that it provides an opportunity for psychiatric aftercare patients to work side by side with and to perform the same tasks as the psychiatrically "normal" retired older workers who have developed work identities and work habits. The structured, renumerative vocational activity is based on the importance of work to the individual in shaping his identity and self-esteem. The vocational evaluation and work adjustment training services are offered to prepare clients for competitive employment. The extended employment program is designed for therapeutic long-term vocational participation, especially by chronically mentally ill individuals in conformity with the standards of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and as part of the comprehensive network of services offered by a community mental health center. Individual supportive and vocational counseling and structured social activities are also offered by the program. Emphasis is placed on cooperation and communication with the residential outpatient clinics and other agencies of primary treatment serving the clients. Blood Assurance Plan Approximately 6000 individuals are covered by the JASC Blood Assurance Plan. This benefit is available to all JASC members and the immediate members of their families. Members of the organization are called upon to donate blood. The donation drives were conducted on two days during the past year, one in June and the other in November. With 4 percent of the membership donating blood, the quota of 240 pints was exceeded by 27 pints. Heiwa Terrace The plan to build the Heiwa Terrace was initially approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for a loan under Section 202 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 197 4. The initial loan of 5.4 million dollars was increased to 6.4 million dollars, due to escalating construction costs. i As its year came to a close on June 30, JASC looked forward to the ground-breaking ceremony scheduled for July 8 and the beginning of construction in the fall. Of the five proposed projects approved for funding in Illinois in 1976, only Heiwa Terrace had advanced to the ground-breaking stage. Heiwa Terrace will have 200 one-bedroom apartment units, with each apartment tied to the Section 8 rent subsidy. The construction site is located at the northeast corner of Lawrence and Sheridan. The parents meet monthly at the JASC to participate in a support group and to gain information and insight from guest speakers. An annual picnic and a Christmas dinner program bring the parents, children, and their friends together. Project Hope A small band of individuals concerned about supporting each other in times of serious illness and bereavement formed a self-help group that meets biweekly. The group is affiliated with the parent Project Hope organization headquarted at Northeastern Illinois University. The JASC Project Hope group held a potluck supper and open house early in 1978 to acquaint guests with its existence and purposes. It also sponsored a workshop in the spring. Providing information in a question-and-answer session on such subjects as medical insurance, Medicare, and legal preparations related to serious illness and death were representatives of Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Social Security Administration, the insurance industry, and the legal profession. JASC Project Hope meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month at Northeastern Illinois University. It welcomes anyone needing or wishing to give support. Fund-raising Program Since 1969 the JASC has sponsored a group with the purpose of increasing public awareness of the problems and possibilities of exceptional children and of providing support for their parents. Early in the year, the JASC commissioned a study to explore the proper directions for seeking support from the broader community. The results of this study clearly showed us that there was a need for better working spaces to serve our people, a desire to have a cultural-educational room to which friends of Japanese Americans could learn more about our traditions, and a real interest for JASC to share our experiences with other Asians who are now newcomers, and finally an expressed need for a special fund to help JASC maintain programs during periods of cash flow difficulties. The children receive biweekly speech therapy on Saturday mornings at the Sacred Heart Academy. A volunteer speech therapist provides help to supplement their regular educational program. The Board approved a $300,000 special campaign to be conducted over a three-year period to help achieve the above goals while expanding our annual funding activites. Recipts from the fund-raising campaign for amenities and expenses not covered by the government loan now total over $180,000. The generous response from the community is greatly appreciated.

With this heritage and aware of its potential, JASC continued to grow. I am grateful to all who served on the Board during my presidency for their contributions of time, talent, and funds to support our efforts. I am appreciative of the efforts of the staff who always gave unstintingly of themselves in order to serve our clients. I particularly want to express my appreciation to the 1978-79 Executive Committee members, who this past year assumed more responsibility as my job relocated me to St. Louis and rendered me unavailable on a daily basis. My thanks to all. For this account of the past year's activities, one highlight is the construction of Heiwa Terrace (see page 9). After years of negotiation with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, funds were finally released so the building could start. At this writing, the shell has been completed (all twelve floors) and the builders are working on the interior. Occupancy is scheduled for the spring of 1980. Our thanks to Tom Teraji and his Housing Committee who have steered this project since its inception. Armed with the findings of a feasibility study, JASC launched a major capital campaign under the leadership of Hiroshi Kanno. In an effort to provide matching funds for the development of a day care program for the elderly and establish an endowment fund, we appealed to corporations and foundations. While we did not meet our goal, the residual benefit has been the creation of awareness about the Nikkei community, our needs, and our aspirations among corporate and foundation leaders. The "payoff" may be several years away. One of the accomplishments of my tenure is the development of closer working relationships with the Japanese business community and the Consulate of Japan. We are grateful for the interest and support demonstrated by the representatives of the Japanese government and the Japanese corporations in the work of JASC. In very tangible ways, they have contributed to the quality of life of not only Americans of Japanese ancestry but of other Chicagoans as well. I have passed the gavel to Tom Teraji and hope for him similar successes and satisfactions. My thanks to all of you for "caring" and "sharing." Lillian C. Kimura/1978-79 President, Board of Directors 2 Executive Director's Report The time has come again to take stock of the Japanese American Service Committee of Chicago-to review what we have done during the past year and to decide what priorities and directions we must choose for this year and in future years. The agency took unprecedented steps to explore new and additional financial resources. Numerous and valuable contacts were made, useful information was gathered, and funds were raised through the Major Capital Fund Drive conducted during the past year. There should be follow-through on the endeavor initiated and the manpower and financial resources invested so that we can continue to strenghthen the agency's capability to meet the increasing costs of operation. Working together with the Technical Advisory Committee, chaired by Vice President Kiyo Yoshimura, the staff has put more effort and emphasis on the future needs and concerns of Niseis. It should be noted that the increasing number of Niseis, Sanseis, and Yonseis are availing themselves of the various JASC services. For example, 88 percent more Niseis and 24 percent more Sanseis received counsel­ ing service during fiscal year 1979 than in the previous year. Among homemaker clients 1 5 percent are Niseis, and 50 percent of those receiving meals-on-wheels service are Niseis. Of the participants in the various arts and crafts classes approximately 13 percent are Niseis and Sanseis. A continuing effort will be made to provide services to respond to intergenerational problems as lsseis advance in age and Niseis and Sanseis are faced with the problems of coping with and caring for the aging members of their families. As part of its continuing endeavors to provide suitable programs for the elderly, the Board of Directors approved a plan to renovate the agency's facilities to accommodate a day care center for the elderly and to provide an enlarged meeting space for groups. An application was submitted to the Illinois Department on Aging to fund the starting of the day care center program, and a $100,000 grant was made available through Title V of the Older Americans Act for renovation. An additional grant of $20,000 was received from the Chicago Community Trust to initiate the program. The renovation is expected to be completed by the fall of 1979, at which time more community space will be provided for meetings and classes for Niseis and Sanseis. During the past year, the JASC was engaged in a project called "An Assessment of the Vocational Rehabilitation Needs of the Ethnic Minorities in the Chicago Communities of Uptown, Lakeview and Lincoln Park," with a grant of $40,497 provided by the Illinois Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. This study will be completed by September 1979. The agency also applied to the Illinois Department of Vocational Rehabilitation for a grant of $100,000 to implement the plans that are derived from the needs assessment study. This project includes the establishment of an outpost in the Uptown area to serve the ethnic minorities in the area for a projected three-year period. The JASC is vitally interested in providing a continuum of care for its elderly clients, and the Workshop Program Committee has been making an in-depth study on the status of the Work Center program to determine the anticipated needs of the present lssei clients as well as 3 the future potentials of the program. The committee is headed by Yoji Ozaki and includes Frank Takahashi, Dan Kuzuhara, Ed Coble, and the Work Center staff. The JASC has gained a nationwide reputation as a model agency for self-help. The achievement of such an accomplishment has been made possible through the joint efforts of volunteers and the agency staff. I am deeply appreciative of the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by the staff. Moreover, the JASC could not be effective and have achieved as much as it has without the strong leadership and support of the Board of Directors and close lo 100 volunteers who have so generously and selflessly contributed their time and energy to help the agency serve our community effectively. Masaru Nambu/Executive Director Social Services Blood pressure checks The Social Service Department of the Japanese American Service Committee offers individual and family counseling; information and referral service; educational, cultural and social programs; home­ maker services; meals-on-wheels and hot lunch programs; health related programs, and a library. The educational and cultural programs are open to all age groups. An increasing number of Niseis-a total of 595-participated last year in the programs. The following programs were offered last year: Japanese and English language classes, kimono wearing, tracing the family tree, movies, arts and crafts, cooking, ceramics, amimono, flower arrangement, temari-making, parasol-making, paper crafts, tsumamie, shodo and penji, cultural nights, and children's summer programs. In the past year, social programs brought people to blueberry picking, picnics, Water Tower Place, ice shows, movies, Amlings Flowerland, Arnie's North, and the Museum of Science and Industry, to name some of the outings conducted by the JASC. In-home services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, cooking, and escort service-were made available to homebound clients. Some 64 lsseis, 18 Niseis, 1 Sansei, 14 Japanese nationals, 6 other Japanese, and 18 others were served in the program in 1978-79. The high quality of our services has been recognized by many public agencies, which have been referring more and more clients to our agency. On weekdays, an average of 88 persons, 60 or older, are served hot lunches under Title VII of the Older Americans Act at the JASC. All the participants are contributing 50¢ to $1.25, depending on their ability to pay. Meals-on-wheels service is offered for homebound persons three times a week. More than 50 percent of the recipients are Niseis. The health-related program includes monthly blood pressure checks, dental care, flu shots, foot examinations, diabetic detection tests, glaucoma tests, body dynamics, and lectures on health care. The JASC library is open on weekdays from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The Chicago Public Library has been providing English and Japanese books. The staff of 18 includes professional social workers, homemakers, group workers, teachers, and aides. Under the direction of the staff, 4 Glaucoma tests Kimono wearing instruction WELCOME CITY OF CHICAGO lssei representation at Senior Citizens' Art Fair 'i , ,, Senior citizens' outings over eighty volunteers make it possible for the JASC to carry out its many programs. Out of the ranks of the volunteers come instructors, hot lunch helpers, doctors and nurses, friendly visitors, interpreters, helpers for special events, homemaker volunteers, a delivery person for meals-on-wheel_s programs, and those skilled in arts and crafts to b V"' -&,,.::J. make handicraft items for Market Day. _ ?\...> The RAP (Relatives of Aging Persons) Group for Niseis and once-a­ month Tea and Conversation gatherings for homebound persons were new services offered during the past year. Transportation was provided for the homebound as needed. Currently, the JASC is planning to start a Day Care Center for the Elderly in the fall of 1979. This, along with the opening of Heiwa Terrace in 1980, will necessitate increased activity in casework, in-home services, and cultural programs. The Social Service Department receives part of its support from the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago and the Mayor's Office for Senior Citizens and Handicapped. ,, �f- Sheltered Work Center The JASC Senior Citizens' Work Center has been providing effective therapeutic service through its work program by helping clients to cope with their physical and often psychological problems related to aging. These problems are from social isolation, major role changes, loss of spouse and health, and depression. The sheltered workshop offers employment and compensation to supplement often meager incomes. There has been a definite effect of ego-strengthening for the program participants because of their ability to contribute to the welfare of the agency. In addition to the lssei and some Nisei retirees, the sheltered workshop also serves clients of other ethnic backgrounds, such as Koreans, Chinese, and Filipinos. It also serves clients referred by the Edgewater Uptown Community Mental Health Center and the Illinois Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Hand-in-Hand Since 1969 the JASC has sponsored a group with the purpose of increasing public awareness of the problems and potentials of exceptional children and of providing support for their parents. The children receive weekly speech therapy on Saturday mornings at the JASC. A volunteer speech therapist provides help to supple­ ment the regular educational programs of these children. The parents meet on the second Friday evening of each month, 7 to 9 P.M., at the JASC, to participate in a support group and to gain information and insight from guest speakers. An annual picnic and Christmas dinner program bring the parents, children, and their friends together. 7 Japanese welfare delegates visit Sheltered Work Center 8 Blood Assurance Program All JASC members and their immediate families-approximately 6,000 persons during the past year-are covered by the agency's Blood Assurance Plan. Our goal for this year is 240 pints. The first blood drive brought in 129 donors on June 18. The second drive is scheduled for November 12. We encourage members and nonmembers to donate blood for this worthy cause. The JASC Blood Assurance Program has to date 33 gallon givers, with 19 more expected to reach a gallon of blood donation in the near future. Heiwa Terrace ... Up,Up,Up Since ground was broken at official ceremonies on July 8 at the outset of JASC's 1978-79 administrative year, construction on the exterior of Heiwa Terrace has proceeded steadily up­ ward, as passersby at Lawrence and Sheridan will attest. In 1979-80 work will be continued on the interior, with completion and occupancy sched­ uled for the spring. Persons interested in becoming residents in the 12-story, 200-unit housing for senior citizens should contact the JASC. 9 Japanese American Service Committee Statement of Revenue and Expenses for the year ended June 30, 1979 Revenue: Philanthropic Support Government Support $ 81,500 211,536 Sheltered Workshop 326,166 Others 85,707 Total Revenue $704,909 Expenses: Program Services Supporting Services $611,229 126,207 Total Expenses $737,436 Deficiency ($ 32,527) T he 1979 fiscal year shows a deficit of $32,527.

The Japanese American Service Com­ mittee. as it is now known, is not only a sophisticated agency with an annual budget in excess of $700,000 but also a model for ethnically based social service delivery. In 35 years the JASC has become an increasingly vital force for service to the total Japanese community of the Chicago area and to the Lakeview, Uptown, and Edge­ water communities. During this past year the JASC has made additional gains and progress, which we are happy to share with you in this Annual Report. One highlight of the past year's activities - and certainly the JASC' s most exciting accomplishment since its own inception - is the completion of the Heiwa Terrace hous­ ing development for senior citizens. This $6,400,000 edifice was completed this spring and residents began moving in this summer. Management responsibilities have been shifted from the JASC to Steven Jerold Manage­ ment Associates, Inc., with George Maruyama serving as the local building manager. A Japanese garden will soon be constructed at the comer of Sheridan and Lawrence to put the finishing touches on the attractive 200-unit build­ ing. For many years the JASC has instituted the Issei compre­ hensive program to assist in alleviating problems of the elderly. It is designed to attend to the social and emotional as well as the physical needs of aged Isseis. The JASC is now adding another dimension to assist the Isseis by offering a Day Care Center program. The public was in­ vited to an open house on April 19 to view the renovation and modernization of the agency to accommodate the facilities for this new program. For the renovation the JASC received $100,000 from the Illinois Department of Aging. However, the JASC is currently in the process of raising an additional $50,000 to meet the stringent city code requirements. The agency expresses gratitude to the organizatons, corporations, and individuals who have contributed toward the funding of the renovation. Two of the Board-sponsored annual fund-raising events, Market Day and the Fuji Festival, were particularly suc­ cessful this past year. They netted more income than in previous years. Our sincere thanks go to Art Morimitsu, who chaired the Market Day, to May and Hiroshi Nakano, co-chairpersons of the Fuji Festival, and to all the volun­ teers who were so instrumental in the success of these two fund-raising efforts. All of the progress made this past year would not have been possible without the dedication of the Board and staff, whose members have given so generously of their time and energies to assure that the agency is on target in terms of meeting human needs. We are grateful, too, to the many volunteers who make it possible for our work to be extended to many more people than can be served by a small staff. We especially wish to recognize the strong and dynamic leadership of Masaru Nambu, our Executive Director. Mr. Nambu has worn two hats in the past many months. He has devoted many hours to the administra­ tion and coordination of Heiwa Terrace during the last four years - tantamount to a full-time job. In addition to administering the JASC staff, he has also assumed the responsibility of being the chief fund raiser for the agency. We are tremendously grateful for this creativity, zeal, and enthusiasm, which serves as an inspiration to all. Lastly, we count our many friends and supporters for their continued interest in helping the agency improve the quality of life in this city. - Thomas S. Teraji, 1979-80 President, Board of Directors. Executive Director's Report The time has come again to share with you what the Japanese American Service Committee has accom­ plished during the past year, the priorities we pursued, and the concerns we have had. Renovation to accommodate an Adult Day Care Center and to provide an enlarged meeting space for community groups was completed in March. Funds for this project were made available through Title V of the Older Ameri­ can Act in the amount of $100,000, with a number of individuals, corporations, and foundations contributing additional funds. After a long delay and a bureaucratic struggle, we saw the opening of the Adult Day Care Center in September. We received program initiation funds totaling $20,000 from the Chicago Community Fund, and additional start up funds will be provided by the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago. Upon completion of Heiwa Terrace, a 200-unit apart­ ment building located at Lawrence and Sheridan, senior citizens and handicapped persons began moving in, with full occupancy expected to be reached by the end of summer. The JASC has been extending its services to the residents, and more complete arrangements for formal service will be made during the coming year. After successful completion of the assessment of vocation­ al rehabilitation services needed among the ethnic minorities in the Uptown; Lakeview, and Lincoln Park communities, the JASC was awarded a $82,000 grant to implement the plans that were derived from the study. Since the beginning of the project, the JASC has operated an outpost at the Uptown National Bank and accom­ plished its first-year goal and expects to continue making a valuable contribution in meeting the needs of minority groups throughout the second year. The project is called the Chicago Minority Access Center (CMAC). Since all rehabilitation facilities were required to receive accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), our rehabilitation staff endeavored to meet the high standards set by CARF. I am very proud to report that the JASC received the maximum three-year accreditation. The adverse trend in the economy has brought about dif­ ficulty in providing sufficient work programs for the Shel­ tered Workshop clients, and we are girding ourselves to meet another year of tight economy. There has been improvement in raising funds from corpo­ rations and foundations. I intend to pursue this matter further in the coming year, as excellent and unique pro­ grams cannot endure on their merit alone; they must be supported by sound financial resources. The uniqueness and effectiveness of the JASC are achieved through the efforts of everyone involved in the life of the agency. We could not have come as far as we have without the dedication of our staff, the strong support from our Board of Directors,and the selfless assist­ ance provided by nearly 100 volunteers who have given their energy and time so generously throughout the year. I wish to convey my heartfelt appreciation to all who have taken part in the important team work. -Masaru Nambu/Executive Director Social Service The Social Service Department has been involved in indi­ vidual and family counseling; information and referral services; educational, cultural, and social progams; home­ maker services; hot lunch programs; health related pro­ grams, and a library. All age groups are served by the educational and cultur­ al programs. An increasing number of Niseis - a total of 708 in the past year - are participating in the programs, which include the following: flower arrangement, Karuta­ kai, English, cooking, ceramics, body dynamics, party­ time, arts and crafts, amimono, Japanese, lectures, movies, shodo and penji, oshie, harie, temari, kami­ ningyo, family tree studies, defensive driving, quilting, and relaxation. Our art classes produced three award win­ ners at the Buckingham Fountain Art Fair in 1979. The social program took participants to the Arlington Race Track, Nielsen's Restaurant, Triton College, Museum of Science and Industry, Lake Lawn Resort, Lake Geneva for boat rides, Octoberfest, Lambs Fann, and a picnic. Some 14, 157 hot lunches were served on weekdays in the past year to persons 60 years old and older. They are contributing 75¢ to $1.25 for the lunch, depending on their ability to pay. The health-related program included monthly blood pressure checks, a dental clinic, an eye clinic, flu shots, diabetic detection tests, glaucoma tests, body dynamics, a relaxation class, and lectures on health care. In-home services - cleaning, shopping, laundry, cooking and escort service - were made available to homebound clients. A total of 2,689 home visits were made during the past year, serving 71 Isseis, 18 Niseis, 20 Japanese nationals, 5 other Japanese, 2 other Asians, and 35 others. The high quality of service has been recognized by many public agencies, which have been referring more and more clients to our agency. JASC Programs ,JASC social workers made 4,459 contacts with clients2, 192 with Isseis; 825, Niseis; 29, Sanseis; 299, other Japanese; 150, Japanese nationals; 541, other Asians; and 423, others- in the counseling program. The staff of 18 includes professional social workers, home­ makers, group workers, teachers, and aides. Under the direction of the staff, over 80 volunteers make it possible for the JASC to carry out its many programs. Out of the ranks of the volunteers come instructors, hot lunch helpers, doctors and nurses, friendly visitors, interpreters, helpers for special events, homemaker volunteers, and those skilled in arts and crafts to make handicraft items for Market Day and Pre-Christmas Sale. Group sessions for the Korean elderly who are in the Work Center program were new services offered during the past year to help these people adjust to the new life in the United States. The Day Care Center for the Elderly was finally scheduled to start in September. The program will include recrea­ tional, social, and other cultural activities, general nursing, rehabilitation and therapy, self care training and health maintenance program, nutrition service, transportation, and supportive services. The maximum pqrticipants per day will be 25 in order to provide quality service. Many referrals have been coming from Heiwa Terrace for casework and in-home services. The Social Service Department receives part of its support from the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, the Of­ fice for Senior Citizens and Handicapped, and the Illinois Art Council. Doll Making lssei Social Program Outings Glaucoma Tests Blood Pressure Tests Nutrition Class � INSIDE COVER .S, TEUPHONE, OAT£, ·-� )NIST AT FRONT 13 WEEKS, H:A •001" Body Dynamics Open House at JASC Counseling Sheltered Work Center The JASC Senior Citizens Work Center continued to pro­ vide an effective therapeutic work program and services that helped elderly clients cope with the physical and psychological problems that accompany advanced age. In addition to the important work activity, the clients re­ ceive assistance in dealing with social isolation, health problems, and depression. Other programs are also offered to the Workshop clients, such as social programs, health maintenence programs, and counseling. Recently the Work Center has been serv­ ing other Asian elderly such as Koreans, Chinese, and Filipinos. It is a vital adjunct to the Edgewater Uptown Comprehensive Community Mental Center, serving for­ mer mental patients in the target areas and the clients referred from the IllinoisDepartment of Rehabilitation Service (DORS). The recently established Chicago Minor­ ity Access Center works closely with the Work Center in serving the minority groups who need vocational services fromDORS. Blood Assurance Program An important benefit derived by members of the Japanese American Service Committee is coverage for themselves and members of their immediate family by the Blood Assurance Program. Sheltered Workshop Two drives are conducted during the year to collect our annual quota of 240 pints. A total of 118 pints was col­ lected at the first collection on June 23. On this occasion, seven persons who have been regular donors became gallon givers. The second collection will take place in November. How­ ever, donations will be accepted at the Michael Reese Blood Center in behalf of the JASC Blood Assurance Pro­ gram any time. We encourage members and nonmem­ bers to donate blood for this worthy cause. Blood Assurance Program Heiwa Terrace As work on Heiwa Terrace proceeded in 1979-80, more than 250 applicants were interviewed and screened. An Open House in April brought prospective residents to Heiwa Terrace to view some of the completed apartments. By early July, 121 units were occupied and leases for 19 additional units had been signed. Furniture for the lobby, offices, dining room, and other public areas on the ground floor began arriving in July. A striking ceramic mural depicting Genji Emaki, the origi- nal of which is in the Boston Museum, adorns a wall of the lobby. This work of art was donated by the Otsuka Chemi­ cal company. Administrative duties that had been handled by the JASC throughout the construction of Heiwa Terrace have been turned over to Steven Jerold Management Associ­ ates, Inc. A manager, assistant manager, engineer, and maintenance person have been hired to operate and maintain the building. 1--..

The Blood Assurance drive, under the chairmanship of Colin Hara, is more than half way toward its annual goal at the half-way point (see page 10 for more details). The Program Committee, chaired by Kiyo Yoshimura and assisted by Yoji Ozaki and Dan Kuzuhara, has been busy making plans to shift gears in terms of those we ought to begin to serve in the immediate future. W hat I have reported thus far may give the impression that everything is fine with the JASC. This is not entirely the case, as we were faced with the serious situation of operational costs increasing at a greater rate than our income to carry out our current programs. Many will recall a series of meetings held during March to notify our membership of a tremendous deficit developing for the 1980-81 budget year. The deficit began in late summer of 1980, due to the sudden reversal in our national economic status and a change of personnel in our Sheltered Workshop program. By September we were approximately $35,000 in deficit. At the March meetings I projected a $60,000 deficit if the trend continued and we did not raise additional funds. Because of the overwhelming response from persons attending the meetings that the Workshop be continued for its elderly participants and that necessary funds be raised, the Board of Directors acted accordingly. A special fund-raising drive was launched, and our deficit has been reduced dramatically for this fiscal period, thanks to the commitment of the Board, staff, and friends of JASC. To also compensate for future deficit spending, the Board put together a realistic budget for the 1981-82 fiscal year and will hire a public relations and fund raising staff person with clerical assistance, with the goal of increasing our revenue for the next two years. The Community Trust has provided JASC with $74,000 to pay for the staffing for the new development department. All of the progress made during this past year would not have been possible without the dedication of the Board staff, and volunteers who have all given so generously of their time and energies to assure that the agency is on target in terms of meeting human needs. I especially wish to recognize the strong and dedicated leadership of Masaru Nambu, our Executive Director. We both had to work a little harder this year to make ends meet by visiting corporations, businessmen, and foundations. It has been a trying year, and Mr. Nambu accepted it with his usual zeal and enthusiasm. We will continue to count on our many friends and supporters for their continued interest in helping the JASC improve the quality of life in this wonderful city. President's Report For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of serving on the Japanese American Service Committee Board-five as vice president in charge of building and the last two years as president. I was also privileged to serve as chairman of the Senior Citizens Housing Committee and later as the presi­ dent of the Board of Directors of the Japanese American Service Committee Housing Corporation, an affiliate of the JASC from 1975 to 1980. I would like to review briefly what I consider the highlights during the two years of my presidency. The completion of the Heiwa Terrace housing devel­ opment for senior citizens was certainly a highlight of the past year-and possibly the most exciting accomplish­ ment in JASC's history. This $6,400,000 structure was completed in 1980 and is now fully occupied, with a long waiting list of those wanting to move in. The JASC recently added another dimension to assist Isseis by offering a Day Care Center program. A sum of $178,000 was spent to renovate and modernize a portion of the JASC building to make this program po�sible, with $128,000 coming from the Illinois Department of Aging, Office of Senior Citizens and Handicapped, and United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, and the remaining $50,000 raised through friends of the JASC. A special van donated by Mr. and Mrs. William Yamamoto of LaSalle Photo provides transportation for the elderly. Un_der the leadership of our vice president of finance, Dr. Hiroshi Kanno, the following successful events were held: Fuji Festival, under the chairmanship of Hiroshi Nakano, which raised more funds than ever before; the Spring festival music concert, which brought in some $5,000 through the efforts of Kazuko Lehrman and her committee; Market Day, with a record net income of - Thomas S.

The fiscal policies of the new federal administration are seriously affecting health, welfare, and education fields, and more shock waves are anticipated in the near future. Every social service agency in the nation is being forced to reevaluate its programs, to seek additional sources of funds from private sectors, and to prove its worth for funding. The accepted concept of the past decade of federal responsibility for social improvement is changing and much will be turned over to the states and voluntary organizations for implementation. With less federal fund­ ing available, expansion of social services will be curtailed. Serious appraisals of priorities among numerous needs and worthy projects will take place to determine which programs will be funded. When the wind blows, it separates the chaff from the grain. The reputation the JASC has established and the esteem it has received from both public and private sectors should sustain us through the difficult times ahead. How­ ever, we are entering a period during which we will be faced with challenges to demonstrate our capability as not only an ethnic social service agency but also as the deliverer of a range of services that extends beyond our ethnic confines. We are also at the threshold of witnessing the majority of the Nisei population joining the ranks of senior citizens. We will plan and implement services that will not only assist Niseis but will also provide oppor­ tunities for them to enrich their senior years. The increasing influx of Asian immigrants is also a concern and challenge to us. We will continue our efforts to coordinate our services with other Asian agencies. Although our public funding may be cut and we may have to modify our programs, we will continue to strive toward the fulfillment of the mission of the JASC. We will continue to solicit all available support from churches, groups, and organizations in our community. And with the two-year grant from the Chicago Community Trust, we will launch an aggressive campaign in fundraising and public relations to reach beyond our ethnic boundaries. In closing, I wish to express my gratitude to our dedi­ cated staff, whose professional attitude toward clients and their tasks are highly commendable, and to our Board of Directors, the members of which have provided strong volunteer leadership in policy decisions and fund-raising. I am especially grateful for the dynamic and skillful leadership our President has provided during this past year. Executive Director's Report The past JASC year of 1980-81 has been a period of accomplishment as well as a time for serious reassessment of our programs. The long-awaited Adult Day Care Center was opened in September with 13 initial clients, and the program has proved to be effective in meeting another set of heretofore unmet needs in our community. Thus we took another stride toward making the programs of the JASC truly comprehensive for the elderly. The completion of Heiwa Terrace marked another significant milestone in the history of the JASC. On Sep­ tember 27, 1980, the dream, vision, and efforts sustained over the past five years by the Board of Directors and staff of the JASC were culminated at an open house and dedication ceremonies. Also opened was a new and unique social service delivery pattern for the elderly linking the residents of Heiwa Terrace to the well established JASC services for the elderly. The beautiful edifice is a symbol of the crystalization of public and private effort, with more than 600 individuals from the Japanese community having contributed financial support. As the entire nation has been hit by both economic recession and double-digit inflation, every American has been forced to alter his lifestyle-and the JASC has not been exempted. Our Sheltered Workshop program partic­ ularly suffered from the shortage of adequate subcontracts and financial support. The increasing operating cost and declining productivity of the Workshop's elderly clients prompted us to seriously review the appropriateness and feasibility of this program for the elderly. A series of meetings involving the Board of Directors, staff, commu­ nity leaders, and the community-at-large reaffirmed the validity of the Workshop program for the elderly. It was also urged that alternative programs be created for those -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 The Fiscal Picture The 1980-81 fiscal year has been a difficult period during which many decisions had to be made in the finan­ cial operation of the agency's programs. The cash flow problem started to become especially acute in October and peaked in February, with accounts payable and federal deposits going into serious arrears. A report on the agency's position was made to leaders of the community and the community-at-large at a series of meetings in March. A mandate came out of these meet­ ings that the Workshop program be continued for the Isseis and that a special fund-raising drive be conducted to provide the needed financing. As a result, more than $30,000 in contributions was received. With this sum and additional funding from government sources and foundations, the fiscal year ended on an encouraging note. • Community support rose to 22 percent of the annual operation budget as compared to an average of 14.58 percent in the previous six-year period. • Special events income remained constant at 8 percent of this year's budget. • The United Way allocation stayed at the same level of 6 percent. • Government funding has steadily increased from 16.2 percent in 1976 to 32.4 percent in fiscal year 1980-81. The area of concern is the subcontract income pro­ vided by the Sheltered Workshop program, which has shown a steady decline averaging 4.5 percent a year for the past six years, while the client payroll has increased on the average of 3.7 percent each year during the same period. Local support and United Way allocations must offset these differences. The financial picture for agency programs is as follows: • The casework counseling and adult day care pro­ grams have maintained themselves within their budgets with funding from the Office of Senior Citizens and Handicapped and the Illinois Department of Aging and allocations from United Way and local support. The adult day care center has also received additional funding from United Way as start-up funds. • The homemaker service and group services, which receive government funding and local support, showed marginal deficits. Group services receive minimal govern­ mental support of $3,500. • The Sheltered Workshop is the agency's largest program, requiring 65 percent of the total budget. This program ended with a deficit of $23,160. It was estimated back in March that the deficit would be $60,000 by the end of the fiscal year. The restricted contributions of $30,000 contributed in reducing the deficit. The first quarterly payment from the Community Trust Development grant has made it possible for the operating budget to end with one of the lowest deficits in many years. ,.,-T he baked goods and handicraft tables did brisk business at the annual Market Day.

Its staff of 21 includes social workers, homemakers, group workers, Day Care workers, a driver, a nurse, teachers, and aides. Under the direction of the staff, more than 80 volunteers make it possible for the social service department to carry out its many programs. These pro­ grams are funded by the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, the Office for Senior Citizens and the Handi­ capped, the Illinois Art Council, and the Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department of Aging. Casework counseling. Casework involves individual and group counseling, information and referral, health and financial management, advocacy, direct service, escort and transportation, translation and interpretation, and immigration and naturalization services. Social workers made 4,743 contacts with clients over the past year2,410 with Isseis, 973 with Niseis, 18 with Sanseis, 333 with other Japanese, 61 with Japanese nationals, 729 with other Asians, and 219 with others. Twenty group sessions for the Workshop clients were offered as a new service during the past year. In-home Services. In-home services include cleaning, shopping, laundering, cooking, escort service, telecare, library on tape for the homebound, and visitations. Home visits totaling 3,253 were made in the past year as we served 60 Isseis, 22 Niseis, 1 Sansei, 3 other Japanese, 5 Japanese nationals, 1 other Asian, and 29 others. A total of 3,253 telephone contacts under the telecare program was recorded. The high quality of services has been recog­ nized by many public agencies, which have been referring more and more clients to our agency. Group Activity. The educational and cultural programs of the agency have been open to all ages. This past year's programs have included the following: Japanese and English language instruction, kaminingyo, minyo, shodo, penji, cooking, ceramics, amimono, arts and crafts, hari-e, flower arrangement, karuta-kai club, painting and drawing, futon, needlepoint, Japanese and English films, slide shows, special cultural displays and observances, and nutrition and nursing education lectures.

Seniors go on many outings throughout the year. 5 .. The JASC IC1oks after the elderly through health screenings, such as monthly blood pressure checks, examination for glaucoma, and dental check-ups. The New Year's party is an annual gala event, offering entertainment and traditional food. Activities include movies, outings, and opportunities for socializing as well as programs that require more active involvement of mind and body, such as physical exercise, group games, and arts and crafts. Health-related services complementing the program's social component include a balanced noon meal, general nursing, health monitoring, assistance with personal care, and health and nutritional education. Transportation and supportive social services round out the service package. A sampling of the positive feedback received from participants and their families follows. These comments probably best express the nature and value of this program. From participants come these comments: "My family is busy and doesn't really have time to go places. Here, it makes me happy when we go on outings and different places." "Since I stopped working, I had no chance to get out. Now I come here and there are so many things to do." "It's hard for me to cook for myself. I like to be able to eat a good meal." "When at home, I fall asleep a lot and think about my body aches. When I come here, I forget them and I feel mentally and physically healthier." "Taking a bath makes me feel so good. The bathtub here is so much easier to get into than the one at home." "I'm glad that the nurse is here to give me my medicine so pants spent a day at the Arlington Race Track, observed ohakamairi at Montrose Cemetery, visited the Shedd Aquarium and the Botanic Gardens, viewed exhibits at the Field Museum and the Cultural Center, and picnicked at Lincoln Park. Health-related projects included monthly blood pres­ sure checks, eye clinic, dental clinic, glaucoma screening, body dynamics, relaxation class, care-a-van, flu shots, and lectures on health care. As a host site for the Golden Diners Club, the JASC served 16,194 hot lunches to persons 60 years and older who contributed 75<; to $1.90 for the meal based on their ability to pay. Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care center opened in September 1980 and its program has been conducted in keeping with current thinking that the best formula for maintenance of intellectual and physical functioning in later years is the combination of positive thinking, positive self-concept, and remaining active. The program strives to cultivate these assets by providing its partici­ pants with a variety of coordinated services and activities in a protective group setting. 6 ADULT DAY CARE CENTER The Center has become a model for visitors to observe. A nutritional noon meal is an important part of the program. Clients receive pick-up service in a specially-equipped van. Center clients keep busy and active in craft projects. An ingredient of the program is pride in their creativity. that I don't have to worry about it." "I get to see and talk with everybody here. Otherwise, I'd stay home by myself and it gets lonely." From family members we have heard: "At first, my father was reluctant to come. Now he looks forward to it, and on the day he's coming he starts getting ready on his own. He's very proud of the things he makes and is pleased to be able to give them to his grandchildren." "It's a relief to know that mother comes here every day. I know she's safe." "My husband has a place to go out- side the house. We both look forward to it. It gives me a chance to get out myself and run some errands." "My mother enjoys coming. She's now more self-reliant in some ways and we're glad to see that." "The program offers my grandmother a schedule to her week; it marks off the days. The activities stimulate her. She takes the excercise and activities very seriously. She feels useful and productive." "My father likes the activities, especially ceramics. He's very excited by that and thinks about his future projects." HEIWA TERRACE, a dream come true . J I The JASC provides homemaker services to residents. The library is a busy place at Heiwa Terrace. The dining room is a place to socialize over a cup of coffee or tea. 8 Sheltered Workshop J new system also takes the Workshop to a higher profes­ sional level as it facilitates better evaluation of the clients' needs. As it is not always easy to change, the staff has been struggling but learning during the transition to the new system. As the Isseis grow older, their population in the Work­ shop will be gradually reduced. W ith many Niseis entering or nearing retirement the agency is looking into work programs and other activities that would be suitable for them. Another aspect of the Workshop program is to open the door to the needs of other community populations. Work therapy and evaluation services are being provided for about 40 mentally handicapped persons, referred to the JASC from the Edgewater /Uptown Community Mental Health Center and the Illinois Department of Rehabilitation Services. The needs of other Asian minorities in the com­ munity are also being met, as the Workshop program serves 15 Korean, 5 Filipino, and 3 Chinese senior citizens. The basic philosophy of the Sheltered Workshop re­ mains the same: to provide senior citizens with a place where they can come, getting away from confinement at home, keeping active in work that gives them self­ satisfaction and self-respect, and meeting and being with friends. Currently some 50 Isseis are participating in the Workshop program from 8:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. Their average age is 82. While the purpose of the Workshop is the same as it was at the outset, there has been a constant endeavor to find better ways to operate the program. The most recent innovation is the change from an hourly to a piece rate in the compensation system. The piece rate provides a more accurate and fairer way to compensate workers. It also enables the agency to keep a clearer record so that the regulations and requirements of the U.S. Labor De­ partment and Department of Rehabilitation are met. The 9 These young people truly gave of themselves at the blood collection drive in June. All JASC members may avail themselves of the blood donated to the program. Hand-in-Hand Blood Assurance Program The year's Blood Assurance Program got off to a good start on June 22, as 136 volunteers presented themselves for the donation of a pint of blood to the program. Although six were rejected for technical reasons, the pro­ gram was credited with 130 pints. This turnout put the program within striking distance of meeting the annual fair share of 240 donations. In view of the failure last year in meeting its quota, the June 22 response comes as a welcome reaffirmation of community support for the program. Through the com­ bined efforts of Isseis, Niseis, Sanseis, and Yonseis, many who will this year rely on the JASC Blood Assurance Program for their blood needs will be protected. There is further significance in the fact that a good number of first-time donors appeared. As the donors are in the main young people, the future vitality of the pro­ gram appears assured. Several of the donors became gallon­ givers and were awarded special pins in recognition of their generosity. The fall drive is scheduled for November 9. It is the agency's hope that it is as successful as the summer effort so that the quota is not only met but exceeded. Hand-in-Hand, the association composed of parents of handicapped children and people concerned with handicapped individuals, continues to function as a support system for the parents and as an advocate for handicapped persons. A new agreement between Hand­ in-Hand and the JASC provides for a new program of organized group sessions under the supervision of Dan Kuzuhara and moderated by Yoji Ozaki. The group sessions have been scheduled to allow members of the family to communicate their concerns to others who are in similar situations. This provides emotional support as well as a practical way of coping with the additional problems of habilitating handicapped children. Hand-in-hand has now established communication with the Pacific Asian Network (PAN), a national organi­ zation involved with developmentally disabled individuals. Current concerns of Hand-in-Hand-such as the need for respite care and planning of residential options for their children-have been communicated to PAN for consul­ tation and recommendations. 10 Japanese American Service Committee Statement of Revenue and Expenses for the year ended June 30, 1981 Revenue: • Philanthropic Support Government Support Sheltered Workshop Others $206,000 352,000 250,000 33,000 Total Revenue $841,000 Expenses: Program Services Supporting Services $753,000 105,000 Total Expenses $858,000 Deficiency $ (17,000) T he 1981 fiscal year shows a deficit of $17,000.

JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITTEE _ � · OF CHICAGO The Membership Committee passed its goal of $45,000 this past year with an increase of $1,305. Another program enjoying much success this year was the Blood Assurance Program which exceeded its commitment of 240 units of blood; and as an added bonus, the JASC is proud to announce that this year four donors reached the 2 gallon mark! The JASC has been extremely fortunate this year as three members generously remembered us in their wills. George Gota, a workshop client, left $3,000; Sam Fukae, a JASC client and Heiwa Terrace resident, left $5,000 and another bequest for a scholarship fund amounting to $27,000 to be administered by the JASC; and a $45,000 bequest from Joseph Kotani, a JASC client, which enabled us to pa_rtially repay a bank loan. The JASC has been rendering Christmas time services to the needy people of our community for many years. This year, it also became the first to participate with the U.S. Marine Corps in their "Toys for Tots" collection; many barrels were collected from the JASC and distributed to the needy. The JASC had some more "firsts:' An especially popular program this year was the Viking Hall Reunion Dance at the Midwest Buddhist Temple held by the Sansei and sponsored by the JASC. Also popular, but with an older crowd, was the Nisei Retirement Seminar, a series of ses­ sions dealing with problems of retirement and various aspects of health care. The JASC Program Committee undertook a key study of Nursing Homes under the leadership of Kate Kuzuhara; Elaine Nemoto and Dan Kuzuhara reviewed available nursing homes for referrals to Nikkei clients. Among the most important events for the JASC were the joint sessions held with the JASC Housing Board to promote communication between the two boards. Three JASC Board Members were elected to the JASC Housing Board: Hiroshi Nakano, Betty Nakanishi, and Peter I. Oyama. We are thankful for our hardworking and persevering Board Members who have served us well during the past 35 years. Plans for the year 1982-83 include developing programs directed towards the younger members of our community. Although our financial picture has improved con­ siderably since the beginning of the year, the continuing recession has required a tightening of policy for the JASC. Masaru Nambu, now with 12 years of experience behind him as Executive Director, has ordered a drastic cut in the budget for 1983. Our Board, working in conjunction with the Development Department, will attempt to raise needed funds from sources that include the "outside" community. To insure the success in this project and the solidarity of the JASC for future generations, we will require full support from our membership and community. President's Message My first term as President of the JASC Board turned out to be a full time job. Due to large reductions in federal fund allocation fo social services, the JASC was suddenly faced with some critical issues. To discuss a "plan of action," at the beginning of the year the JASC Board invited past presidents, Ex-Officio board members, and community leaders to a meeting at which their positive input helped the agency shape optimistic and realistic goals for the future. The Board has successfully imple­ mented many outstanding projects, including some "firsts:' One major project was the application made to the Chicago Community Trust for a $72,000 grant to begin a Department of Development and Public Relations. The grant was awarded, and from many qualified applicants Bernard Finkel was hired as the Director in October, 1981. We look forward to the healthy growth of the JASC with the help of this Department. This year two JASC events were dedicated to those who had done so much for the JASC these past 35 years. At the Annual Fuji Festival, former President Tom Teraji, 1980-81, was cited for his outstanding contributions in community service. At the Annual Meeting all JASC's past Presidents were recognized for their generous con­ tributions to the agency and community. Also recognized at the Annual Meeting were individuals and organizations involved in founding and sustaining the JASC these past 35 years; and among our many "firsts" this year, in con­ junction with this celebration, we were presented with two proclamations from the Governor of Illinois and the Mayor of Chicago declaring June 20-26 as "Japanese American Service Committee Week" in Illinois and Chicago. Some of the special events happening this past year were JASC's first food festival, an instant success, at­ tracting more than 1,600 gourmet food lovers; the Annual Christmas Delights Sale; and the Annual Benefit Spring Concert. Many thanks to the JASC Board and Staff for their help in organizing and administering the events. -Arthur T. Morimitsu 1981-82 President Board of Directors 2 The JASC has operated at full capacity by utilizing and maximizing its funds and facilities. It is really a bustling place with multiple activities held daily. The Sheltered Workshop has become a microcosm of our world, pro­ viding a rare opportunity of work therapy for both the elderly and the mentally and emotionally handicapped in a quiet, relaxing, but professional atmosphere. Case­ work Counseling goes on daily as homemakers go into the community to assist the elderly and disabled. The Adult Care Center continues to be a haven for those whose age has often threatened their independence with institutional life; and will continue to be a valuable pro­ gram of alternative care. The Nutrition Program, Health Care, Dental-Eye-Clinic, and Arts and Crafts continue to invite a steady flow of people from our community. By the end of FY 1982 the JASC served 4,300 individuals. The JASC has long been aware of the unmet needs of the Niseis, and the first investigation in attempting to meet their needs, conducted by Professor Kuzuhara, re­ sulted in the recent Nisei Retirement Seminar entitled "Life In Later Years." Enthusiastic responses from the Nisei have pinpointed where their needs and interests lie. The JASC has more programs planned on a regular basis for them in the near future. With the close of FY 1982, I am profoundly grateful to those who have supported the JASC during the last 35 years. The names are too numerous to mention, but their gift-from the precious mite to the generous es­ tates-have sustained the life of the JASC. The goodwill of those who have gone before us reminds me that their legacy of community spirit must be cherished and con­ tinued to be nurtured for our future generations. Last, but not least, the JASC is blessed by dedication and professionalism which its staff has demonstrated. This has truly made the JASC a unique and unusual agency. In addition, if the multifold hours of volunteer time were converted into dollar value, our agency's oper­ ating budget would certainly exceed one million dollars. We are very thankful for their work of love. The JASC's thirty-five year history attests to the im­ pact a volunteer agency can create when it works closely with the community with such determination and a sense of mission. I invite all of you to join hands together in working toward our Golden Anniversary. Executive Director's Report "Koin ya no gotoshi" ("time flies like an arrow"), so goes the Japanese saying. The founders and early sup­ porters of the JASC might not have conceptualized the present picture of the agency which they founded and began nurturing 35 years ago. The long history of the JASC is self-evident testimony of how an agency with a humble beginning can become a viable and effective organ of services sustained by community support, a dynamic and resourceful board, and a dedicated and creative staff. The unique history of the JASC has been woven into the very fabric of the history of the Japanese American community in Chicago, and has become an inseparable constituent of our community. Many unsung heroes have helped the JASC grow, and numerous lives have been touched by the services the JASC has offered during the past 35 years. Nationwide, the climate of the economy and the highly conservative policy of the Reagan administration on social services has created cautious anticipation of a tight situation among all social service agencies. Fiscal year 1982, therefore, began with ominous clouds overhead. The severe cutbacks of the federal budget have drastically reduced social service funding, and the tight economic situation with inflation spiraling and increasing rate of unemployment have caused us to anticipate rough seas ahead. Yet we, the board and staff, are determined to overcome these obstacles as a hard-working cohesive team endeavoring to maximize the use of our funds. De­ spite a very trying year, the JASC was able to hold its expenses over revenues to $22,000 for the year. I must add a special note that maintaining the low deficit would not have been possible without the many friends of the JASC who contributed generously; especial­ ly the awards of sizeable estate incomes from three elderly clients. Their legacy shall long be remembered for their gift of love and magnanimity. -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 Development/Public Relations Official opening of JASC's First Japanese Food Festival Sen. Charles Percy chats with community leaders while sampling gourmet delicacies at Food Festival JASC is interviewed by Jorie Lueloff on WMAQ-TV JASC awards at 35th anniversary annual dinner meeting In the summer of 1981 the Chicago Community Trust authorized a grant for the JASC to establish a new depart­ ment of Development and Public Relations in order to create and develop a stronger fund-raising capacity and improve the public relations of the agency-thus facili­ tate opportunities to obtain funds from outside the agency's current constituency. The new department began to function on October 1, 1981. These first twelve months have been a productive period during which a solid groundwork has been laid to establish the identity and good work of the agency in the eyes of the broader community. The department has been providing advice, guidance, and counsel on fund-raising strategy within and outside the agency; exploring professional resources with the objective of meeting the goals of the department; maxi­ mizing the use of professional resources to research, update, and compile lists of prospective foundations, corporations, government sources, and individuals; de­ veloping a rapport with funding sources; helping to create activities, programs, services, and events of the agency requiring support consistent with the needs of the agency; and preparing and submitting proposals to potential funding sources. To date, a number of proposals have been submitted to public and private foundations and governmental agencies asking for grants ranging from $1,000 to more than $243,000 for special projects and operating funds. In addition, contacts have been made with 102 other corporate and private family foundations (66 based in Chicago and 36 based in other Illinois communities). The Development Department became involved in initiating, developing, establishing, and achieving a wide variety of public relations/publicity for the JASC within and outside the agency; and assisted in preparing news­ letters and special brochure materials. In view of the fact that the agency finds it necessary to raise funds outside its current constituency, extensive publicity exposure achieved by this department in such a short period of time has greatly enhanced the public relations of this agency and will accrue to the benefit of the development campaign. It has attracted wide attention of the general public, made the general com­ munity aware of the JASC, and established a broad positive relationship with all the news media and other sources of public relations cooperation and support. It is especially important today, more than ever, in the face of the present and future economic conditions, to tell the JASC story to as broad an audience as possible­ acquainting prospective donors through continuing public/community relations, promotional activity, and special kinds of personal contacts and presentations. It is anticipated that with a continuing combined effort of public relations and fund-raising the agency will be able to maximize its potential, as well as create new potential for the future financial resources of the agency. 4 Social Service The JASC's Social Service department provides a variety of services to the general community. This com­ prehensive program is designed to meet the general needs and interests of our clients. The staff of 22 includes social workers, homemakers, groupworkers, day care workers, teachers, aides, a nurse, and a driver. Under the direction of the staff, more than 80 volunteers enable the depart­ ment to carry out its many programs, which are funded by the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, the Office of Senior Citizens and Handicapped, the Illinois Arts Coun­ cil, and the Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department on Aging. Casework Counseling is designed to offer direct guid­ ance and assistance for an individual to cope with prob­ lems through the activities of planning, coordinating, and mobilizing services to meet needs that challenge the individual's personal health and social functioning. Casework counseling involves individual, family, and group counseling; financial and health management, nutrition guidance, information and referral advocacy, emergency service, guardianship service, escort service, immigration and naturalization, translation and interpre­ tation, and direct service. Social workers made 6,319 contacts with clients over the past year: 3,197 with Isseis, 1,185 with Niseis, 34 with Sanseis, 602 with other Japanese, 115 with Japanese Na­ tionals, 1,015 with other Asians, and 171 with others. Instituted this year were the group services offered at Heiwa Terrace. In-Home Services is designed to provide aid in house­ hold tasks, and general assistance to older persons and/or handicapped persons in the activities of daily living to enable them to continue living in an independent manner. Services include cleaning, shopping, laundry, cooking, escort service, grooming and personal care, heavy chore service, telecare, and visitation. Homemakers made 3,849 home visits in the past year as we served 65 Isseis, 24 Niseis, 3 other Japanese, 5 Japanese Nationals, 4 other Asians, and 28 others. A total of 4,421 telephone contacts under the telecare program were recorded. The high quality of services has been recognized by many individuals and the public agencies, which have been referring more and more clients to our agency. Group Services are planned to serve a wide age range, the Group Services Program offers a variety of services and activities. Last year's activities included classes in amimono, tsumami-e, penji, kaminingyo, ceramics, needlepoint, a multi-leveled Japanese language program, karuta kai and minyo clubs, cooking demonstrations and workshops, monthly bingo games, children's summer program, movies, C.P. R. orientation, training and certification, lec­ tures on crime prevention, social security, immigration law, and special cultural displays. Volunteers help JASC staff with Adult Day Care program Market Day Tsuma-mi-ye is one of the many art and craft classes offered 5 Blood Pressure check Dental Clinic Hearing test Nisei Retirement Conference Toys for Tots collection Blood Assurance program Social program participants enjoyed a day of thorough­ bred racing at the Arlington Park Race Track, visited scenic Long Grove, Illinois and the Lambs Farm, viewed special exhibits at the Lincoln Park Conservatory and the Museum of Science and Industry, attended Bunkasai at the Futabakai school, picnicked in Grant Park and the La Baugh Woods, and took a sightseeing boat tour of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. Health-related services include monthly blood pressure screening, dental clinic, eye clinic, flu shots, glaucoma screening, hearing tests, lectures, and a morning relax­ ation exercise class. In our eighth year of operation as a Golden Diners' club site, some 15,058 meals were served to senior citi­ zens. A service of the Office for Senior Citizens and Handicapped, the nutrition program provides an alterna­ tive for seniors who don't like to cook for themselves or eat alone. In addition to receiving a hot, balanced lunch, participants can meet new friends and learn about special programs and services available to them. Eligible participants, age 60 and older, and their spouses, are given the opportunity to make voluntary contributions toward the cost of each meal. A new service the JASC offers is the home-delivered meals program. In this volunteer-run project, home- bound seniors age 60 and older receive a hot, balanced noon-time meal five days a week. Although no fee is required, participants are encouraged to contribute, according to their ability, toward the cost of the meal. This program has been offered for the Heiwa Terrace residents. Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care program strives to promote the physical and mental well-being of the elderly participants by providing a variety of coordinated services and structured activities in a supervised group setting. Recreational activities include movies, outings, opportunities for socializing, physical exercise, group games, and arts and crafts. Health-related services com­ plementing the program's social component include a bal­ anced noon meal, general nursing, health monitoring, assistance with personal care, and health and nutritional education. Transportation and supportive social services round out the service package. Last year the program served a total of 30 clients; the majority were Issei. The program provided 3,106 units or days of adult day care service to its participants. February through April were programmatically the year's most active months, with an average of 13-14 clients a day participating in the program. 6 in another work environment elsewhere-our work eval­ uation room was renovated with funds provided by the Illinois Department of Rehabilitation Services. All of this, combined with the vast gap in ages between the Issei and Nisei and the sporadic immigration of gen­ erations of other Asians, has been contributing to the changing population makeup of the Work Center. Cur­ rently, of the 54 seniors participating in the Workshop program, 28 are elderly Japanese Americans; the rest are other Asians-including 19 Koreans, and a few Chinese, Indo-Chinese, and Filipinos. We are anticipating the future. W hile continuing to fulfill the needs of the aging Isseis, the Work Center is setting its sights on the Nisei seniors. We already have Niseis participating in the Work Center program, and, as we expect more participation from them in the near future, the Work Center is actively seeking more skill­ oriented subcontract jobs and programs to meet their growing needs. During the last two months of this fiscal year the Work Center has been adversely affected by the Nation's tight economy, and has prepared a new brochure to help stir up new business for the Workshop. Meanwhile, every staff member has dedicated time and effort to the services and needs of the program, and to promoting its effectiveness-thereby making FY 1982 a good year. Work Center For the past 22 years the JASC's Work Center has been providing meaningful, therapeutic work activity for the Issei and Nisei that prolongs the lives of the elderly. It reduces the need to institutionalize them; gives them the psychological and physical uplift of preserving self-pride, self-respect, a sense of assurance and self-satisfaction; an opportunity for social contacts away from home con­ finement; and a highly-prized sense of independence in knowing they can be less reliant on public assistance. In the 1960s the JASC was serving 150 Japanese American senior citizens in this way. But, due to their advancing age, this number has decreased to only 28. In response to changing needs of the community and vacancies in the Work Center, the JASC has opened the Workshop to other Asian minorities, and added voca­ tional training for mentally handicapped. The program for the mentally handicapped is funded by the Illinois Department of Mental Health and the Illinois Department of Rehabilitation Services; as a result, we are not only serving the Japanese American com­ munity, but the community-at-large as well. Last Spring-to make it more feasible for potential mentally handicapped clients to be pre-tested for their work capability in our own Workshop, or for placement Workshop New Year's party 7 1982 Members of the JASC Fukami, Kiyoshi Fukami, Mary M.

This was accomplished by providing meeting rooms and facilities to community organizations; promoting activities such as the successful Health Fair and Career Conference; retirement and investment semi­ nars and symposiums; bringing together health and hospital officials to discuss methods for selecting nursing homes; and instituting day care and nutrition programs for senior citizens, and homemakers for invalids in their homes. Finally, during the coming year, the JASC will be under­ taking, probably our most challenging task-the search for and acquisition of a Nikkei Home for the Elderly, culminating more than five years of planning and re­ search. This, no doubt, will be our agency's most difficult project, yet one that is now almost a necessity, not just for the Issei but for the Nisei as well. Still, as in the past, we are optimistic and hope that our faithful supporters, our members and community people, will once again come to the forefront to help us attain this worthwhile goal. -Arthur T. Morimitsu 1982-83 President Board of Directors President's Message At our 36th Annual Meeting held on June 26, 1983, Board member and Master of Ceremonies Tom Mura re­ marked that all three speakers on the program mentioned that our agency had ended its fiscal year 1982-83 with a budget surplus of $48,000. Tom was referring to Finance Chairman Hiroshi Nakano, Executive Director Masaru Nambu, and myself, and the emphasis we all made on the surplus for the year. As many people know, 1982 was a year of considerable financial problems that affected not only the American families and social welfare agencies, but also multi­ national organizations with assets in the billion dollar figures. The fact that the JASC was able to generate enough income over expenses must be credited to several sources: First, Executive Director Masaru Nambu and his dedicated staff who voluntarily took a deferment on their salary increment, knowing our financial situation. Secondly, the persistent efforts of the Development Department to raise funds from outside sources, such as foundations and corporations. Thirdly, the volunteer members of the Board of Directors who manned critical committees, not only to raise much needed funds but to organize and promote programs to serve our community people. Our Board, increased by several sensitive and capable Sansei members, has been of great service in working with other volunteers and the JASC staff. The JASC has long had the reputation of being the most prestigious organization in our com­ munity and has been very fortunate in being able to tap some of the most capable people to serve on our Board. Lastly, I must acknowledge the JASC lifeblood, the hundreds of community volunteers who willingly helped with our various fund-raising programs and donated their time and material goods. 2 The JASC has always been sensitive to the changing needs of its immediate community and the larger com­ munity which surrounds the ethnic enclave. Our recent federal fund cuts and increasing competition for limited grants from foundations and corporations, have added to the rising awareness that the JASC must continue to prior­ itize a wide range of changing needs in the community, and endeavor to meet them in a planned service delivery system. Therefore, the JASC Board formed a Long Range Planning Committee for the purpose of establishing five year plans. The Board and the staff committees have been dealing with the basic issues such as mission statement, environmental analysis, and goals and objectives which will greatly affect the services and financial operation of the JASC in coming decades. The Development Department, which was created with a grant from The Chicago Community Trust, is completing its second year of operation. The department has con­ tributed to stabilizing the agency's financial operation, and will continue to vigorously seek fundings and grants from outside the Japanese Community to improve the financial resources of the JASC. The JASC could not enjoy its reputation without the numerous volunteers who have believed in an organization such as the JASC and provided their energy, time, and professional skills. Almost everything the JASC does has been touched by the volunteers; every fund-raising event, nutrition program, adult day care center activities, and special events such as the Career Conference, Blood Assurance Program, and Health Fair. We have been priv­ ileged to receive the assistance of more than 100 volunteers just for social service programs throughout the year. It is my privilege to report that in spite of the harsh reality of tight funding and hard economic times, which make it difficult to increase financial support, the JASC completed FY 1983 with a surplus. I am profoundly grate­ ful to many individuals throughout the year who so generously contributed to the work of this agency; and to the dedicated and willing staff members performing so conscientiously while enduring their second mile of sacrificing their annual increment so that services for the community may be continued without curtailment. Executive Director's Report This year has been a period mixed with activities and reflection, both of which will undoubtedly make significant impacts in the future course of the Japanese American Service Committee. The JASC has been recognized as a unique ethnic social service agency which provides comprehensive services for the elderly. A variety of services have been designed and offered primarily to meet the existing and increasing needs of Isseis. However, as the number of Isseis began to diminish, and a majority of Niseis continue to advance in age, we have been preparing programs for Niseis while continuing to meet the increasing needs of Isseis whose average age is over 80 years. After the initial success of the Nisei Retirement Seminars in May, 1982, the JASC launched a series of seminars for Niseis throughout the year. This attempt has been met with enthusiasm and ready response from the target population. The JASC plans to continue and further expand its programs for Niseis. The JASC was keenly aware that, in a few years, many Issei parents and Nisei children will face the problem of nursing home care. Upon the successful completion of Heiwa Terrace, an ad hoc committee was formed to study and provide certain recommendations regarding the nursing needs of our elderly. As a result, the JASC officially organized a Nursing Home Exploratory Com­ mittee this year that has been actively researching the possibility of having the JASC provide nursing home service. The overwhelmingly enthusiastic and supportive responses to the questionnaires which were sent out to the entire Midwest Japanese communities have indicated the apparent need for such a facility, and have reaffirmed the sense of direction that the JASC has envisioned on behalf of the Japanese community. The JASC will continue to pursue this plan in order that the elderly may have a home where they can receive adequate care. -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 Development/Public Relations --- . ... _... . • . .. •· The efforts of the Development/Public Relations Department to raise money from "outside" sources began to pay off as it approached completion of the two-year start-up period funded by The Chicago Community Trust. In the past year, the department realized an income of $38,800 from corporate, public, and family founda­ tions, as well as from selected individual donors-an amount matching the sum that has come in from outside sources during the last decade. A total of 68 specially targeted proposals and letters were submitted to a variety of possible funding sources. Eight resulted in grants totaling $33,250; less than 9 per cent was for operating budget while more than 91 per cent was designated for specified purposes. Operating budget monies came from the American Hospital Supply Cor­ poration Foundation, Chicago Sun-Times Charity Trust, and The Forest Fund; monies for specified projects included a food festival assistance grant from Mayor Jane M. Byrne, a grant from the Robert R. McCormick Charitable Trust for a bilingual social worker, a partial assistant grant from the Harris Bank Foundation toward renovation of the JASC building, and partial assistance grants from Borg-Warner Corporation Foundation and The Esmark Foundation toward a program to help Asian elderly qualify for employment. A public relations strategy to enlarge the scope of fund-raising potential was the launching of a series of businessmen's luncheon meetings at JASC headquarters. An additional $5,500 was received as the result of JASC's outreach to businesses, industries, and financial institu­ tions in the vicinity of the agency headquarters, minority owned businesses, financially successful members of the Japanese American community, and operating budget contributions from two companies introduced by a businessman member of the JASC Board of Directors. Careful and time-consuming preparation has preceded the active solicitation of funds, with the Department spending many hours in researching prospective donors, keeping up-to-date on fund-raising techniques, and developing strategies. The Department has worked closely with and consulted the social service and work­ shop staffs, and the executive director in developing grant proposals. To educate prospective contributors and create a favor­ able climate for fund-raising, the Department also devotes much of its efforts to public relations and publicity services. It communicates directly with JASC members through the quarterly newsletter, annual report, and other promotional mailing pieces; and reaches the general public through local newspapers, TV and radio, speakers at community group meetings, and tours of the agency. No longer funded by The Chicago Community Trust, but expecting that the new Department will raise in­ creasingly larger sums of money, the JASC Board of Directors sanctioned the continuation of the Department. ---........_, �.........

Jr�,, �!� .,. l � Social Service . The JASC's Social Service department provides a variety of services to the general community. This com­ prehensive program is designed to meet the general needs and interests of our clients. The staff of 22 includes social workers, chore housekeepers, groupworkers, day care workers, teachers, aides, a nurse, and a driver. Under the direction of the staff, more than 80 volunteers enable the department to carry out its many programs, which are funded by the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, the Office for Senior Citizens and Handicapped, the Illinois Arts Council, and the Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department on Aging. Casework is designed to offer direct guidance and assistance for an individual to cope with problems through the activities of planning, coordinating, and mobilizing services to meet needs that challenge the individual's personal health and social functioning. Casework involves individual, family, and group counseling; financial and health management, nutrition guidance, information and referral, advocacy, emergency service, immigration and naturalization, translation and interpretation, and direct services. Social workers made 5,646 contacts with clients over the past year; 3,035 with Isseis, 976 with Niseis, 33 with Sanseis, 314 with other Japanese, 55 with Japanese Nationals, 927 with other Asians, and 309 with others. Group counseling is offered at Heiwa Terrace. Chore Housekeeping Service is designed to provide aid in household tasks, and general assistance to older persons in the activities of daily living to enable them to maintain their living in an independent manner. Services include cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, grooming, personal care, nutrition guidance, and hygiene education. Through Chore Housekeeping arrangements can be made for volunteers to provide escort service; and heavy chore service (such as moving the furniture or washing the windows). Chore housekeepers made 4,606 home visits in the past year as we served 71 Isseis, 22 Niseis, 1 Sansei, 2 other Japanese, 2 Japanese Nationals, 3 other Asians, and 48 others. A total of 4,632 telephone contacts were also made. The high quality of services has been recognized by many individuals and the public agencies. Group Services are planned to serve a wide age range with educational and cultural programs. Last year's activities included classes in multi-leveled Japanese language programs, penji, karuta-kai, minyo, tsumami-e, kaminingyo, ceramics, needlepoint, tai-chi, cooking demonstrations and workshops, bingo games, movies, children's summer programs, and special Japanese cultural displays and observances. Recognizing that Isseis are becoming fewer in number and that growing numbers of Niseis are approaching retirement age, the JASC continued its program directed Classic Japanese dance is performed for seniors at lunch time Shuffleboard is a favorite Day Care Center game Youngsters enjoy summer ceramics Ceramics is very popular with adults 5 � � Blood Assurance Exercise for Isseis Flu shots Vegetable block printing Nisei programs Health Fair oral screening Speakers Bureau Sansei Career Conference Kamishibai to satisfying the interests, needs, and concerns of the Nisei population. W hile continuing to fulfill the needs of the Isseis, the JASC conducted a variety of meaningful, in-depth sessions for men and women approaching retire­ ment age or considering retirement. Health related projects included monthly blood pressure check-up, weekly eye and dental clinics, glaucoma screen­ ing, flu shots, diabetes testing, and an all-day health fair. Our nutrition site program served 14,939 meals to senior citizens. Meals on wheels is a home-delivered meals program for homebound seniors, age 60 and over, who received a hot, balanced meal six days a week; our volunteers delivered 3,354 such meals during the year. All in all, a total of 25,767 Issei, Nisei, Sansei, and others attended our group service programs. Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care program pro­ motes the physical and mental well-being of older adults through a full range of coordinated services in a super- vised group setting. A wheelchair-equipped van transports clients to the center each weekday. Care is given to maintain a balance of opportunities for socialization, activities, and rest. Clients enjoy a wide range of activities and special events, including field trips, ceramics, exer­ cise, games, speakers, and monthly field trips for lunch. The noon meal and snack breaks provide needed nutrition and the social opportunity to share food together. The social service and nursing staffs develop a care plan for each client and monitor clients on an ongoing basis. Adult Day Care is one of JASC's newest and most innovative services. Working together, the client, family, and staff make it possible for the older adults to remain in their homes at the highest functional level. The program served 39 clients; 3,608 units or days of service were provided, with Isseis utilizing a majority of the service. The average daily attendance was 14 clients. 6 J and physically alert and active, provides them with a social outlet, and prevents them from mental and physical depression. Support for this program comes mainly from the Japanese American community in Chicago, except for a small amount of support from United Way. 2) The Long Term Rehabilitation Program for the emotionally disabled is funded mainly by the Illinois State Department of Mental Health. Purpose of the program is to give the institutionalized, emotionally disabled an opportunity to establish motivation for work and work habit, develop work skills that may qualify them for employment in the competitive job market, and get them into a normal social life. 3) The Vocational Evaluation Program is certified and sponsored by the Illinois Department of Rehabilitation Service (IDORS), for vocational testing and evaluations. The clients who are endorsed by IDORS come to this program to be evaluated and tested for their abilities and potentialities by the staff evaluators in an evaluation room that is designed and furnished for that purpose. As stated in the CARF "Certificate of Accreditation," the JASC facility "is recognized for maintaining as its primary objective the rehabilitation of handicapped indi­ viduals and for providing high quality services through integrated, coordinated, and individualized programs in Vocational Development and Sheltered Employment." Work Center 1 J Three combined factors made it possible for the Work Center to achieve its anticipated goal for FY 1983-despite the adverse condition of the national economy, which affected our number of subcontract assignments from business and industry: (1) A big job order from a company that kept us very busy for a long time (2) Hiring better qualified staff, including a production coordinator who supervises the day-to-day floor operation of the Workshop, and (3) Improvement of the Workshop's operational system. Of the 100 employees registered in the Work Center, 55 of them are seniors-including 24 Isseis, 6 Niseis, 21 Koreans; and the others are Chinese, Indo-Chinese, and Filipinos. The remaining 45 are emotionally disabled Asians and non-Asians. W ith approval of The Commission On Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), the JASC Work Center is providing three different kinds of services: 1) In the Senior Citizens Work Program, elderly Japanese Americans and other Asians work from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily on all kinds of subcontract jobs coming from Chicago metropolitan area manufacturing firms.

In addition, our membership dues have been a major source of financial support. We are also grateful for the traditional contributions from individuals in the community interested in helping out with our budget or supporting our various programs and services, and for the corporate membership support from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, whose executive officers have been very supportive. No organization can function without the full support of its staff. The JASC is fortunate to have a truly dedicated staff under the leadership of Executive Director Reverend Masaru Nambu, now in his 20th year. We also wish to acknowledge the members of our Board of Directors, particularly those who have sacrificed so much time and energy the past several years on behalf of our agency. Our Board Members have been selected from outstanding Nikkei and others in our community. Many are Nisei but we are also grooming Sansei members, looking forward to their development as leaders of our community. Finally, the long-awaited three-year search for our "Home for the Aged", chaired by Hiroshi Kanno, will culminate soon with a fund-raising campaign headed by a committee comprised of several outstanding leaders in our community. Our deep appreciation goes to all the community organi­ zations and churches, their members, and leaders who have dedicated themselves to supporting the JASC. We also extend our thanks to the news media-daily newspapers, community newspapers, radio, and TV-for helping us tell the JASC story to the general community; and our personal thank you to the Chicago Shimpo, its staff members, and its President and Publisher Frank Sugano for their fine, unstinting support to help us keep our community aware of the services provided by the JASC to our elderly, and other deserving members of our community. President's Message At its annual meeting, the Japanese American Service Committee celebrated its 38th anniversary by honoring volunteers of our community who served the agency during the past year. Numerous volunteers were honored, with Mr. and Mrs. Takeru Asa selected as "Volunteers of the Year" for their particularly outstanding and dedicated services to the JASC. We were also signally honored by the presence of Consul General Hirokazu Arai, who participated with Noboru Honda, Chairman of the Japanese American Council, in celebrating my receiving the 5th Class of the Order of the Sacred Treasure from the Japanese Government. This prestigious award was for services to our community and furtherance of relationship between the United States and Japan. This past spring the JASC was honored with an award from the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago "for outstanding programs and services for the elderly". As a leading Asian American social welfare organization of our nation, the JASC has been an innovator of programs for the elderly such as our Adult Day Care Center; our Sheltered Workshop program, which also employs mentally handicapped adults who not only benefit financially but gain immeasurable self-esteem as productive members of society; our Nutrition Site and Health Maintenance pro­ gram; our Home Care Service; as well as sponsorship of the federal Congregate Housing for Senior Citizens­ our Heiwa Terrace apartments. To meet the ever-increasing costs of these programs, our agency is supported by funds from various agencies such as the United Way of Chicago, The Chicago Community Trust, Illinois Department of Rehabilitation Services, and the City of Chicago through the Department on Aging and Disability. Other foundations and corporations have supported our agency, but we must rely on the faithful support from -Arthur T. Morimitsu 1983-84 President Board of Directors 2 to the crying needs of all Japanese communities east of California, as it will be the only Japanese Home for the Aged outside of the West Coast. Undoubtedly, no one dreamed of such expansion of the JASC when it was originated 38 years ago. It shows what a small ethnic community can do in the spirit of compassion and love when it wants to care for people who are in need. The JASC Board of Directors has always been sensitive to the changing needs of our community and has met increasing needs and new challenges with courage. The Japanese community has always been supportive of what the JASC has been attempting financially. Now, we are beginning to receive additional support from the Japanese business community as well as from other foundations and corporations. The JASC could not have enjoyed its reputation and achievements without the numerous volunteers who have believed in the JASC and provided generously of their energy, time, and professional skills. Almost everything the JASC does has been touched by the volunteers. Actually, the JASC is a wonderful organization to be associated and to work with. Executive Director's Report Sometimes I purposely take time to reflect on what goes on at the JASC, and I am literally amazed by so many activities through which nearly 3,000 individuals participate throughout the year. As some of you know, I have been with with JASC for twenty years, 14 years as Executive Director. Although Chicago has the largest Japanese population west of the Rockies, the number is much smaller when it is compared with other Asian communities, such as Korean, Filipino, Chinese, and Indian. Yet the JASC is uniquely the only social service agency of its kind which provides comprehensive services for the elderly. The JASC offers programs for both the healthy and active, and those who require multiple levels of care. The JASC is still primarily an ethnic agency, serving the Japanese community, but its strength and capability are extended to Asians and others in the community. The Long Range Planning Committee is completing its task to form a 5-year plan. The plan will reflect the definite intent of the JASC to serve Niseis as the Isseis continue to diminish, and increasing numbers of Niseis enter retirement. W ith financial help from the Borg-Warner and Esmark Foundations a Senior Employment program began in Spring. We are assisting Niseis and other Asians who want to start a second career in their later years. Nisei programs will be continued, offering a variety of activities in our attempt to meet the wide range of Nisei interests. The Sheltered Workshop program eventually will be offering more skill-oriented employment for Niseis in the Work Center. Family and Group Counseling are offered to assist Niseis as they advance into senior years and simul­ taneously carry increasing responsibilities of caring for their Issei parents. The Nursing Home Exploratory Committee is seeking a suitable nursing home to purchase so that adequate and most desirable nursing care may be available for our elderly. W hen such a facility becomes a reality, we will be responding -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 Development/Public Relations In its third year of operation-the first year without funding assistance from The Chicago Community Trust­ the Development/Public Relations Department continued to make inroads in its search for "outside" funding support. This past year the Department spearheaded efforts that brought $32,450 to the JASC from corporate, public, and family foundations. A total of 184 specially targeted proposals and letters were submitted to a variety of possible funding sources. This effort resulted in grants of $10,450 (32%) for operating budget and $22,000 (68%) for designated specific purposes ( energy conservation and building renovation). Operating budget monies came from the Albert Pick Jr. Fund, American National Bank and Trust Company Foun­ dation, Buddhist Churches of America, Lakeview Bank, Polk Brothers Foundation, Sears Roebuck and Company, The Forest Fund, and Uptown National Bank Charitable Trust. Funding the energy conservation and building renovation project were Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, Motorola Foundation, and Woods Charitable Fund. In addition, the year-end Holidays Appeal, which asked the community for support of JASC services and programs, brought in $10,432. On-site visits of the agency's facilities by prospective funding sources included representatives of the City of Chicago, Illinois Bell Telephone Company, and McDonalds Foundation. Careful groundwork preceded the active solicitation of funding grants, with many hours spent in researching pro­ spective donors; consulting with staff members, the develop­ ment committee, and board members; preparing grant proposals, and making follow-up calls and visits to funding sources considering our needs; keeping up to date on fund-raising techniques, and developing strategies. The public relations activities of the department paved the way by educating prospective contributors, creating a favorable climate for fund-raising, and providing supportive help for agency programs, services, activities, and events. The promotional efforts of the department resulted in a number of feature and news stories in the metropolitan daily, community, and ethnic newspapers, and public service announcements on radio and TV The department also maintains communication between JASC and its members by publishing the newsletter, an­ nual report, and other pomotional mailing pieces. It also represents the agency at community events, conducts tours of the agency, and arranges speakers for group meetings, all of which contribute to an increasing outside interest in the JASC.

During the past year, chore housekeepers made 4,617 home visits, serving 51 Isseis, 34 Niseis, 6 other Japanese, 4 other Asians, and 14 others. A total of 4,448 telephone contacts were also made. Both public agencies and individuals have recognized the high quality of service rendered by this department. Group Services. A wide range of educational and cultural programs are provided by the group services staff. There are classes in Japanese language, penji, minyo, kaminingyo, ceramics, needlepoint, tai-chi; cooking demonstrations and workshops; bingo games; movies; children's summer programs; and special Japanese cultural displays and observances. Aware of the growing number of Niseis who have attained or are approaching retirement age, the JASC has con­ tinued offering programs dealing with issues that confront Niseis. There have been in-depth sessions related to re­ tirement, and health-related projects that included monthly blood pressure check-up, weekly eye clinic, glaucoma screening, flu shots, health screening, and an all-day health fair. Some 14,753 meals were served to senior citizens in the nutrition site program. Volunteers delivered 2,467 meals to homebound seniors, 60 years of age and over. A total of 26,128 Isseis, Niseis, Sanseis, and others were counted more than once as they attended various programs. Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care program promotes the physical and mental well-being of older adults through a full range of coordinated services in a supervised group setting. A wheelchair-equipped van transports clients to the center each weekday. Care is given to maintain a balance of opportunities for socialization, activities, and To meet the many needs of its clients, the JASC social service department provides a variety of programs and services. The staff of 28, which includes social workers, chore housekeepers, group workers, day care helpers, teachers, aides, nurses, and drivers, is assisted by more than 80 volunteers. Funding for the department comes from a variety of sources: United Way of Chicago, Department on Aging and Disability, Illinois Arts Council, and the Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department on Aging. Casework. By planning, coordinating, and mobilizing appropriate services, caseworkers strive to guide and assist individuals in coping with problems that affect their health and social functioning. Casework includes individ­ ual, family, and group counseling; financial and health management; nutrition guidance; information, referral, advocacy, emergency, immigration and naturalization, translation and interpretation, and direct services. The 5,351 client contacts over the past year included 2,581 with Isseis, 1,030 with Niseis, 19 with Sanseis, 303 with other Japanese, 76 with Japanese nationals, 903 with other Asians, and 139 with others. Group counseling was offered for five different groups, one of which was a Nisei support group. Chore Housekeeping. Many kinds of services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, grooming, personal care, nutrition guidance, and hygiene education-are offered in the home to assist older persons in the activities of daily living so that they may live in an independent manner. Volunteers are recruited to assist in escort service and 5 rest. Clients enjoy a wide range of activities and special events, including field trips, ceramics, exercise, games, speakers, and monthly field trips for lunch. The noon meal and snack breaks provide needed nutrition and the social opportunity to share food together. The social service and nursing staffs develop a care plan for each client and monitor clients on an ongoing basis. Adult Day Care is one of JASC's most innovative services. Working together, the client, family, and staff make it possible for the older adults to remain in their homes at the highest functional level. The program served 67 clients; 4,393 units or days of service were provided, with Isseis utilizing a majority of the service. The average daily attendance was 17 clients.

However, the anticipated increasing number of Niseis has been slow in developing, although the ten already enrolled have been expressing their satisfaction and enjoyment of the work and the social interaction. W ith the addition of mechanized types of jobs requiring skilled labor the Niseis should find employment in the Work Center just as appealing and rewarding as the handwork has been to the Isseis for nearly 25 years. The Workshop program also continues to address the needs of other Asians in the community. The demographic breakdown shows 20 Koreans, 5 Filipinos, and 1 Chinese. With the Isseis and Niseis, this totals 61 seniors in the Workshop. The balance of the population consists of 43 mentally handicapped non-Asians. The focus of the program for the mentally handicapped clients is on rehabilitation. The goal for this segment of the population is to establish a motivation for work, work habit, and develop sufficient work skills enabling them to obtain competitive employment. Fiscal year 1985 will see an aggressive marketing campaign to obtain the type of work that will appeal to the Niseis, and, at the same time, increase Work Center volume. This new direction in sub-contract production will allow the JASC Work Center to continue providing the high quality of service for which it is known throughout the community. In the early years of the Sheltered Workshop, the work force consisted primarily of healthy Issei, and subcontract work assignments were plentiful from business and industry during better economic times. But, lately, the work volume has been low due to compe­ tition in the unskilled labor market. To increase volume and thereby insure continuation of existing programs, the Work Center will branch out into handling more skilled types of jobs. Time, the world situation, the changing societ y, the economy, and Asian immigration have affected the Work Center as the needs of the community and of Japanese Americans are changing. The philosophy of the Sheltered Workshop continues to be the same as originally intended: To provide a place for senior citizens where they can feel productive; where they perform fine physical tasks to help keep their minds sharp and forestall physical deterioration; and where they are provided with an atmosphere in which to socialize with other elderly persons. The Work Center currently has a population of 25 Isseis, a considerable drop from the approximately 150 Isseis who participated in the program in the 1960s.

It is noteworthy to mention that major organizations and foundations which provide substantial financial support to the JASC, such as the United Way of Chicago, The Chicago Community Trust, and Borg-Warner Founda­ tion, have specified that other Asians, not just Japanese, should also be helped by the JASC in its programs. In addition to providing services to many individuals and groups, the JASC facilities have always been open to local organizations for meetings and various functions. For community organizations and individuals there are no fixed rates for services or for use of the facilities; however, donations are welcomed. During the past several years the JASC has received financial support from a number of local organizations, such as the Japanese American Council and members of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Chicago, and support of many volunteers from organizations such as Nisei Post 1183 American Legion, Japanese American Citizens League, Japanese American Association, and church groups, both Christian and Buddhist. We are grateful to the JASC Housing Corporation Board for use of the Heiwa Terrace facilities; and the newspaper, radio, and television media, including the Chicago Shimpo and its officers and staff members, for their generous support in publicizing our activities. With our current drive to develop a Home for the Elderly, we appreciate the strong support from our community people. We are especially indebted to our JASC ex-officios who have voluntarily devoted so much of their time and expertise to our agency during the past year. Their contributions cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Our community is infinitely richer for their participation. President's Message In 1986 the Japanese American Service Committee will celebrate its 40th Anniversary. Fortunately, some of its founders are still with us. Harry Mayeda, Kohachiro Sugimoto, Thomas Masuda, Noboru Honda, Richard Yamada, Dan Kuzuhara, and Thomas Teraji, who served as president or are ex-officio board members, continue their involvement with the JASC. Other former presidents Lillian Kimura, Corky Kawasaki, and Lincoln Shimidzu reside out of state, but their roots are still here in Chicago. Over the past forty years the efforts of these and other volunteers have resulted in the steady growth and influence of the JASC in our community. We are happy to report that our agency has been duly recognized by major organi­ zations such as the United Way of Chicago, The Chicago Community Trust, and the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago as the leading Asian-American social welfare agency, not only in Chicago but nationwide. The JASC's early efforts as the Chicago Resettlers Committee were originally geared to assist the thousands of friendless evacuees who relocated to the Chicago area after release from the internment centers. But, through the ensuing years the JASC Board of Directors and its Long Range Planning Committee-in joint efforts with Executive Director Masaru Nambu and his staff members-have gradually expanded the JASC services, which range from Adult Day Care for senior citizens, Therapeutic Work Center, employment for senior citizens, Nisei retirement programs, Health Fair for all ages, and the Blood Assurance Program to programs such as career conferences and scholarships, which are specifically geared for Sansei and Yonsei, and activities for Sansei mothers and for the Hand-in-Hand group. Due to the current large influx of Asians in our com­ munity, the JASC-mindful of the early days when churches and other social agencies provided generous support to -Arthur T. Morimitsu 1984-85 President Board of Directors 2 in half, with daily workshop activities reduced to 50% of the anticipated level. As a result, the JASC experienced tight cash flow. Upon completion of the roof installation and reorganization of the workshop program, the JASC has been returning to normal operation very quickly. The Nursing Home Exploration Committee was changed to the Nursing Home Committee, which has been en­ deavoring to begin new construction of a nursing home rather than purchase an existing facility for renovation. The Committee has been searching for a suitable site, and researching pertinent information on financing, management, and design of a proposed nursing home. We have met a number of challenges throughout FY 1985 and have overcome the obstacles and difficulties as well as made the best of given opportunities. The JASC could not have enjoyed its reputation and accomplishments without the joint efforts of the JASC Board, staff, and volunteers. Many thanks to everyone who has enabled this organization to achieve so much. Executive Director's Report -Masaru Nambu Executive Director As we closed FY 1985 and looked back over the year just passed, I found that every year we have lived through has been unique and different from each preceding one. This past year was no exception in having its own set of characteristics. Statistically, except for the Sheltered Workshop Program, all program goals were met by the fiscal year-end. More­ over, the staff has come up with new and additional programs, some of which are being implemented during FY 1986. The Information and Referral Program was begun as a result of information requests and referrals becoming important services provided by the JASC in recent years. A suggestion to provide the Companionship Program was born out of the needs of frail elderly who are advanced in age, and the need for support of their families. The above are but two examples of new programs and services the JASC is implementing as the result of need assessments the staff is continually making. The building that the JASC has been occupying since 1969 recently came to need major renovation to make the facility safe and comfortable, and to improve energy use. For this renovation we were granted $187,000 by the City through the Community Development Block Grant, and we raised an additional $126,000 from corporations and foundations. During FY 1985 the JASC installed a new roof, windows on Clark Street, new light fixtures in the workshop, and a new surface on the parking lot. The renovation work is continuing with the installation of new rooftop units for heating and cooling the sheltered workshop and for renovation of its bathrooms, tuckpointing of the walls, and installation of a new furnace. When everything is completed, the JASC building will be an improved and more attractive facility. However, building renovation required some sacrifices during FY 1985. The sheltered workshop space was reduced 3 Development/Public Relations The record high total of $121,061 in special grants and contributions that came to the JASC in 1985 demon­ strated to the Development/Public Relations Department the confidence that both the "outside" and constituent communities have in the stability, management, services, programs, and future of the agency. The Department's efforts brought $108,100 to the JASC from 12 corporate, public, and family foundations (nearly three times as much as in 1984). Of this, $10,100 was for operating budget, while $98,000 was designated for specific purposes. Operating budget monies came from the Dr. Scholl Foundation; The Albert Pick, Jr. Fund; Sears Roebuck and Company; The Forest Fund; Signode Foundation; and Central Savings and Loan Association. Sheltered Workshop support was provided by The Consolidated Foods Foundation (since then renamed the Sara Lee Foundation). Helping the pilot programs of Preventive Health Care Screening for Asian Elderly and the Specialized Job Placement Service for Asian Older Workers was the American Hospital Supply Corporation Foundation. Funds for the energy conservation and building renova­ tion project came from the Robert R. McCormick Charitable Trust, The Chicago Community Trust, Woods Charitable Fund, and Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company. In addition, the year-end holidays appeal drew $9,896; and the first "Contributors Fund" solicitation envelope, also developed by the Department and enclosed with the Spring newsletter, inspired a response of $3,065 (including one donor's $2,000 contribution to the Nursing Home campaign). The Department also worked with the Membership Committee in developing the Telemarketing Phon-A-Thon and with the Development Committee in creating the endowment brochure. It assisted in developing a strategy to reach Japanese-American businessmen and began plan­ ning events to celebrate the JASC's 40th anniversary, which will be commemorated in 1986. The public relations activities of the Department continue to pave the way by educating prospective con­ tributors, creating a favorable climate for fund-raising; and providing supportive help for agency programs, services, activities, and events through publicity, the news­ letter, annual report, special brochures, promotional mailing pieces, and speaking engagements. The Department conducted tours for employees of various companies to show them the JASC's facilities, and par­ ticipated in field presentations and exhibits about the agency for employees at company locations as part of the citywide campaign for United Way of Chicago. The JASC was also featured in United Way campaign films. As the JASC expands to meet increasing needs of the community, various sources of funding support-including foundations, corporations, members, and other friends­ are rallying to help the agency continue its good work.

The staff of 29-which includes social workers, chore housekeepers, program coordinators, group workers, day care helpers, teachers, nurses, drivers, an employ­ ment counselor, and aides-is assisted by more than 80 volunteers. Funding for the department comes from a variety of sources: United Way of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, Illinois Arts Council, Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department On Aging, and foundations. Casework/Counseling. The program is staffed by experienced Master's level clinicians in the areas of assess­ ment, social policy, counseling, and psychotherapy. It is designed primarily to assist individuals who are experiencing difficulty coping with the demands of everyday living to achieve adequate or healthy psychological and social adjustment. The program, however, also includes services dealing with financial and health management, nutrition guidance, advocacy, emergencies, and immigration and naturalization. Assistance is rendered through brief consultations or individual, family, or group counseling/ psychotherapy. During the past year a total of 352 (310 Japanese and other Asian, 40 White, 2 Hispanic) clients used the service. Chore Housekeeping. Many kinds of services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, grooming, personal care, nutrition guidance, and hygiene education-are offered in the home to assist older persons in the activities of daily living so that they may live in an independent manner. Volunteers are recruited to assist in escort service, and activities such as window washing and moving furniture. During the past year chore housekeepers served 84 individuals, which included 46 Isseis, 24 Niseis, and 14 others; 68 of these households were at Heiwa Terrace. Public agencies and individuals have recognized this service. Group Services. A wide range of educational and cultural programs are provided by the group services staff. There are classes in Japanese language, penji, minyo, kaminingyo, kimekomi, beads, ceramics, needlepoint, tai-chi; cooking demonstrations and workshops; table games; movies; children's summer programs; mothers' play group, knitting, bread craft; and special Japanese cultural displays and observances. Aware of the growing number of Niseis who have attained or are approaching retirement age, the JASC has continued offering programs dealing with issues that confront Niseis. There have been in-depth sessions related to retirement, and health-related projects that included monthly blood pressure check-up, weekly eye clinic, glaucoma screening, flu shots, health screening, and an all-day health fair. Some 11,949 meals were served to senior citizens in the nutrition site program. Volunteers delivered 3,156 meals to homebound seniors, 60 years of age and over. Attendance at the various programs totaled 24,130, which included Isseis, Niseis, Sanseis, and others. _,.;;_ Day Care Nisei client enjoys ceramics Entertainment J Golden Diners Club nutrition lunch 5 develop a joint care plan for each client and monitor clients on an ongoing basis. This year emphasis was placed on serving Isseis in need of more opportunities to socialize and whose physical functioning was beginning to decline. It was felt that if Isseis could receive a limited amount of help before they became totally dependent on their family, the rate of decline might be slowed. The weekly Tuesday program was devel­ oped to meet this need and has attracted several clients who come once every other week. Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care program promotes the physical and mental well-being of older adults through a full range of coordinated services in a supervised group setting. Care is given to maintain a balance of opportunities for socialization, activities, and rest. Clients enjoy a wide range of activities and special events, including field trips, ceramics, exercise, games, speakers, and monthly field trips for lunch. The balanced noon meal and snack breaks provide needed nutrition and the social opportunity to share food together.

Based on the needs of the community the service was extended to the population that is 54 years or under. Last year the program staff screened 520 applicants ranging in age from 19 to 76 to determine their employ­ ability, and placed a total of 100 Asians, ages 24-71 in 26 kinds of employment positions. For the coming year the staff anticipates having to serve a larger segment of the unemployed population. Working together with the client, family, and staff makes it possible for the older adults to remain in their homes at the highest functional level. The program served 85 clients; 5,753 units or days of service were provided, 4,937 of them to economically disadvantaged clients. Average attendance was 22.6 clients. Job Placement. Last year the JASC initiated a Job Place­ ment Service for Asian Older Workers (55 years or older) in contract with the City of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, funded by the Job Training Partner- Mothers/Toddlers play group Harmonizing Flu shots 7 Workshop Japanese, 19% Koreans, 6% Filipinos, 1% Chinese. Of the Mentally Handicapped, 21% were W hite, 9% Black, 2% Mideast, 1% Hispanic. The Work Center's current Issei population is a con­ siderable drop from the 150 Isseis who participated in the program in the 1960s. W ith the general decline in the Issei population through the years, the Niseis remain the next target group for the Work Center to serve. However, the anticipated increasing number of Niseis has been slow in developing, although the ten already enrolled have been expressing their satisfaction and enjoyment of the work and the social interaction. With the addition of mechanized types of jobs requiring skilled labor the Niseis should find employment in the Work Center just as appealing and rewarding as the handwork has been to the Isseis for nearly 25 years. The Sheltered Workshop program continues to provide a place for senior citizens to perform fine physical tasks to keep their minds sharp, a place for socialization with other elderly persons, and a variety of different kinds of work where they can feel productive. Last year's roof renovation severely limited the amount of service that could be provided and in turn the amount of income earned through the agency's sub-contracting efforts. Yet, the Workshop provided work for a monthly average of 74 men and women who worked an average of approximately 11.25 days per month, 4.25 hours per day; 60% were Asian elderly, 40% mentally handicapped who worked when physically able. Of the Elderl y, 34% were I a--- '"' .....

The goals for this segment of the population are to establish a motivation for work, work habit, and develop sufficient work skills enabling them to obtain competitive employment. As the fiscal year drew to a close, the renovation-which began last November-had already created a new look in the Workshop: the skylights had all been removed, and a new roof was installed on the entire building; there were new lighting fixtures in the Workshop; and plans were being formulated to remodel the bathrooms, and install new rooftop units for heating and cooling for the comfort and satisfaction of the clients employed. Also being mapped out-to allow the JASC Work Center to continue providing the high quality of service for which it is known throughout the community-was an aggressive marketing campaign to obtain the type of work that will appeal to the Niseis, and, at the same time, increase Work Center volume. W ith approval of The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), the JASC Work Center is providing the following kinds of services: 1) The Senior Citizens Work Program, wherein elderly Japanese Americans and other Asians work from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily on all kinds of subcontract jobs coming from Chicago metropolitan area manufacturing firms. 2) The Long Term Rehabilitation Program for the emotionally disabled, funded mainly by the Illinois State Department of Mental Health.

Painted by a group of students under the direction of an art instructor, the mural depicts the history of Japanese in America. As the Japanese American Service Committee cele­ brated its 40th anniversary in August, I could not help but reflect on how our agency got this far. It is truly remarkable to see the growth of the JASC to its present status from its modest beginning as the Chicago Resettlers Committee, created to aid the bewildered, nearly penni­ less Japanese evacuees who came to the Chicago area after their release from the ten internment centers. What is more impressive is that several of these com­ passionate people, who were in the forefront in developing the Chicago Resettlers Committee, are still serving our community for the welfare of our people. Harry Mayeda, our first president, still participates from time to time; Kohachiro Sugimoto, Resettlers founder and longtime publisher of the "Chicago Shimpo;' served as advisor to the JASC until his retirement from the Shimpo; the late Thomas Masuda, Resettlers' second president, served as our legal counselor until his untimely passing this year; Noboru Honda and Richard Yamada, Sr., both early presidents, and Thomas Teraji, my immedi­ ate predecessor, are still deeply involved with our agency in providing crucial leadership, especially to build, for our community, the desperately needed "Home for the Elderly.' The Japanese American Service Committee has been 2 fortunate that its staff members have been led by Masaru Nambu. His tremendous dedication and drive have estab­ lished the JASC as the leading Asian American social welfare agency in the country. I would be remiss unless I mentioned the great support we have received, through the years, from our communi­ ty's various organizations and their members. Many of our programs to serve our people, especially the elderly, have depended on the support of various volunteers. In recent years, these volunteers have also come from among the Japanese nationals. Much of this has been due to the influence and support of the Japanese consulate office and the consul general. Our community's umbrella organiza­ tion, the Japanese American Council, which also includes representation from the Japanese nationals, has been a key organization in providing community support for all organizations including the JASC. As president of the JASC board of directors, which is made up of volunteers, I wish to thank all the executive officers and members of the board, past and present, whose efforts have made our work so much easier. The members of our board reflect our community as much as possible. Many represent churches, organizations, and professions from our community. As we begin our organization's 41st year I respectfully urge your fullest support of the most difficult campaign in the history of our organization. Our six-year research for the building of our "Home for the Elderly" is now at its most crucial period. We have the moral support of our community leaders. We now need financial support to raise the necessary funds to build the nursing home, not only for our beloved Issei people but for the elderly Nisei as well. We hope and pray that within the next two years or so we will be able to dedicate our "Home for the Elderly.' Your unstinting financial support will make it possible. tivrt;::-7.�M� -Arthur T. Morimitsu 1985-86 President Board of Directors Executive Director's Report Forty years ago, it was a humble beginning for the Japanese American Service Committee. The agency was born out of the pressing needs of the Japanese American community, to meet the immediate urgent matters of housing and employment. However, the JASC continued to respond to the challenging and changing needs of the community it served, and during recent years the wide range of services have been expanded to include Asians and others in the community as beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the reputation of the JASC has reached beyond the Pacific Ocean, and the JASC has often hosted various visiting groups which were surveying services that are provided for the elderly in America. With completion of the renovation, the sheltered work­ shop has rapidly returned to normal operation. Now, the workshop is not only a pleasant, but also a safer and more functional facility to maintain and operate efficiently. The continuing shrinkage of federal funding has caused the JASC to restrain itself from responding to the increas­ ing needs of caring for the frail elderly. However, with generous contributions and support from our community, the JASC has been able to maintain the level of service as in the past without curtailment. The list of donors at the end of the annual report attests to the close relationships and continuing support which the JASC has been privi­ leged to enjoy from the Japanese American community. The JASC is also indebted to the many volunteers who have so willingly dedicated their time and talents in sup­ port of the programs. Nearly 200 volunteers-ranging from elderly Isseis to young Sanseis, from all walks of the community including Futaba School PTA and members of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce - have assisted in the programs each day. Plans to construct a nursing home have been proceeding. The JASC has selected the construction site at the south­ east corner of Pulaski Road and Foster Avenue, and the Nursing Home Committee has been actively involved with the consultants in planning the architectural design, applying for approval to the state government, and in the financial plans. When the proposed nursing home is completed the JASC will be able to provide truly compre­ hensive services for the elderly. As we reflect upon 40 years of service to the commu­ nity, we can all be proud of the accomplishments of the JASC and the way we have met many human needs and challenges with joint endeavor. -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 Development/Public Relations In the JASC's 40th anniversary year new inroads were made among heretofore untapped "outside" sources of funding support. The Development/Public Relations Department wit­ nessed increasing evidence that, as the JASC accepts the challenges to fulfill unmet human needs by providing programs and services that improve the quality of life for elderly and emotionally disabled among its own constitu­ ency and other larger segments of the Chicago population, additional sources of philanthropic support, who recog­ nize and appreciate its impact, are rallying to help the agency continue its good work. In FY 1986 Development efforts brought $51,370 to the JASC from 21 corporate, public, and family foundations. Of this, $15,100 was for general operating support; while $36,270 was designated for specific purposes such as Specialized Job Placement Service for Asian Older Work­ ers; Preventive Health Care Screening for Asian Elderly; 4 replacement of the kilns, pottery wheel, and ventilator in the arts and ceramics room; and support of the energy conservation and building renovation project (see "Corpo­ rate and Foundation Gifts" in listings section). In addition, friends of the JASC responded with more than $8,048 to the year-end Holiday Appeal, and with $7,295 (including $300 for the Nursing Home campaign) in response to the "Contributors Fund" solicitation enve­ lope which was enclosed with each newsletter. The Department assisted in developing promotional materials for the 40th anniversary celebration; prepared, distributed, and placed publicity for it in Chicago and West Coast newspapers; and arranged for "Japanese Amer­ ican Service Committee Week" proclamations by the Governor of Illinois and Mayor of Chicago. Social Services To meet the many needs of its clients, the JASC social service department provides a variety of programs and services. The staff of 26-which includes social workers, chore housekeepers, program coordinators, group work­ ers, day care helpers, teachers, nurses, drivers, an employ­ ment counselor, and aides-is assisted by more than 80 volunteers. Funding for the department comes from a variety of sources: United Way of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, Illinois Arts Council, Commu­ nity Care Programs of the Illinois Department On Aging, and foundations. Casework/Counseling. The program is staffed by expe­ rienced professional clinicians in the areas of assessment, counseling, and psychotherapy. It is designed primarily to assist individuals who are experiencing difficulty coping with the demands of everyday living to achieve adequate or healthy psychological and social adjustment. The pro­ gram, however, also includes services dealing with financial and health management, nutrition guidance, advocacy, emergencies, and immigration and naturalization. Assis­ tance is rendered through brief consultations or individual, family, or group counseling/psychotherapy. During the past year a total of 282 (259 Japanese and other Asian, 19 White, 4 Black) clients used the service. Chore Housekeeping. Many kinds of services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, grooming, personal care, nutrition guidance, and hygiene education-are offered in the home to assist older persons in the activities of daily living so that they may live in an independent manner. Volunteers are recruited to assist in escort service, and activities such as window washing and moving furniture. During the past year chore housekeepers served 95 individuals, which included 44 Isseis, 29 Niseis, and 22 others; 79 of these households were at Heiwa Terrace. Public agencies and individuals have recognized this service. Group Services. A wide range of educational and cultural programs are provided by the group services staff. There are classes in Japanese language, penji, minyo, kaminingyo, kimekomi, beads, ceramics, needlepoint, tai­ chi; cooking demonstrations and workshops; table games; movies; children's summer programs; mothers' play group, knitting, bread craft; and special Japanese cultural dis­ plays and observances. Aware of the growing number of Niseis who have attained or are approaching retirement age, the JASC has continued offering programs dealing with issues that confront Niseis. There have been in-depth sessions related to retirement, and health-related projects that included monthly blood pressure check-up, glaucoma screening, flu shots, health screening, and an all-day health fair. Some 12,825 meals were served to senior citizens in the nutrition site program. Volunteers delivered 3,194 meals to homebound seniors, 60 years of age and over. Atten­ dance at the various programs totaled 26,185, which included Isseis, Niseis, Sanseis, and others. Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care program pro­ motes the physical and mental well-being of older adults through a full range of coordinated services in a super­ vised group setting. Care is given to maintain a balance of 5 opportunities for socialization, activities, and rest. Clients enjoy a wide range of activities and special events, includ­ ing field trips, ceramics, exercise, games, speakers, and outings for lunch. The balanced noon meal and snack breaks provide needed nutrition and the social opportu­ nity to share food together. The social service and nursing staffs develop a joint care plan for each client and monitor clients on an ongoing basis. A special emphasis continues to be placed on serving Isseis in need of more opportunities to socialize and whose physical functioning is beginning to decline. It is felt that if Isseis receive a limited amount of help before they became totally dependent on their family, their rate of decline can be slowed. The weekly Tuesday program was developed to meet this need and has attracted several clients who come once every other week. Members of the Tuesday program are currently working with an artist as part of a project to create a ceramic mural in Lincoln Park. Their part of the mural will incorporate a tradi­ tional Japanese Family Crest. Working together with the client, family, and staff makes it possible for the older adults to remain in their homes at the highest functional level. The program served 73 clients; 5,994 units or days of service were provided, 5,038 of them to economically disadvantaged clients. Average attendance was 23 .6 clients. Job Placement. In 1984 the JASC initiated a Job Placement Service for Asian Older Workers (55 years or older) in contract with the City of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, funded by the Job Training Partnership Act. Based on the needs of the community the service was extended to the population that is 54 years or under. Last year the program staff screened 268 applicants to determine their employability, and placed a total of 76 persons in various positions. For the coming year the staff anticipates having to serve a larger segment of the unem­ ployed population. Information and Referral Service. Last year the JASC initiated an Information and Referral Service, based on requests from the community, for individuals who needed help in determining their rights, benefits, and services available; 222 people were served by the program staff and 601 referrals were made. 6 Workshop With renovation of the JASC building nearly finished­ including renovation of the bathrooms in the Sheltered Workshop, installation of special dividers to close off the dock area and hallway from the weather, and installation of rooftop air conditioning and heating units to improve comfort conditions for the elderly and emotionally disa­ bled in the program-the Workshop has significantly improved in completed work volume this past year. Several new and promising subcontract work assign­ ments from business and industry created more openings for workers 60 years of age or older. The Workshop keeps the Senior Citizens mentally and physically alert and active, provides them with a social outlet, prevents them from mental and physical depres­ sion and debilitation, and gives them a feeling of independence. This boosts their morale, gives them a feeling of contributing to society, gives them an incentive to live with dignity and self-respect, prevents them from being institutionalized by prolonging their mental and physical well-being, and helps reduce government cost by reducing their dependence on public welfare. For the Emotionally Disabled (referred by the Edgewater­ Uptown Community Mental Health Center and sheltered care homes), the Workshop provides an opportunity to establish motivation for work and work habit, boosts their confidence, increases their self-sufficiency, helps develop work skills that may qualify them for employ­ ment in the competitive job market, and helps get them back into a normal social life. The JASC also tries to find semi-skilled and unskilled full-time or part-time jobs for those who are able to work in the outside competitive job market. The Sheltered Workshop is not a self-sustaining opera­ tion. The JASC receives no governmental funding support for the elderly in the Workshop program; only for the emotionally disabled. So, in addition to income from subcontract work assignments, the Workshop budget is assisted by funds from other sources such as United Way of Chicago, corporate and foundation grants, community contributions, membership dues, program and service fees, and income from fund-raising events. Last year the Workshop provided work for a monthly average of 74 men and women who worked an average of 21 days per month, 5 hours per day, including paid vacation and holidays. The seniors comprised 55% of the workers: of these, 60% were Japanese, 32% Koreans, 7% Filipinos, 1 % Chinese. The remaining 45% were emotion­ ally disabled (former mental patients) participating in the rehabilitation program of the Workshop. The JASC is extremely gratified to see the change that occurs when individuals are given the opportunity to become more self-sufficient through the use of work as a therapeutic tool. Their self-esteem is enhanced and they can see visible rewards for their efforts when they receive their paychecks. More importantly, they begin to learn that 1hey are part of a team and each takes special pride in his/her contributions to the total effort they make. 7 In Appreciation The Japanese American Service Committee gratefully acknowledges contributions received during the Fiscal Year July 1, 1985 through June 30, 1986.
