Japanese American Service Committee 1996-1997 ANNUAL REPORT MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Japanese American Service Committee is to enhance the quality of life of the Japanese American community by providing social services; by opening up access to human services in the larger community through communication, collaboration, and coordination with appropriate agencies and organizations; and by increasing public understanding of minorities and their needs and contributions to the larger society. A nonprofit social service agency, founded August 30, 1946, the Japanese American Service Committee serves the aged, families, and individuals in the Japanese American, other Asian, and non­Asian communities in Chicago and suburbs. Ou members have r begu n to see a new range of programs and activities being devel­oped for all ages We are . actively preparing fo r the future . INTERIM ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT For the Japanese American Service Committee ("JASC") Fiscal Year ("FY") 1996-97 was a pivotal year. Many pending issues had been resolved and we embarked upon a new chapter in our history. At the start of the year.our , fiftieth year of operation.JASC , had resolved all of the fiscal issues stemming from the Keiro Extended Care Center Project. FY 96-97 represents not only JASC'S survival of this chapter in our history.but also the , beginning of a new direction for us.Board members knew the . loss of the Keiro facility was a tragedy, but the loss o.f the JASC as a whole would have been a greater one. Tha.future was t averted by the sacrifices and efforts of many people The . Board made restoration o.f financial health the top priority in FY 94-95 and FY 95-96. Four staff positions were eliminated to save money.salaries were , frozen.and the Parish Nurse , Prog.ram was terminated. Tasks, however, do not disappea.r with staff reduction.and they were , filled b.volunteers from the yBoard and community and the imposition of additional respon­sibilities on the remaining JASC Staff. These sacrifices sustained our social service programs and permitted our expansion into cultural and community pro­grams. Similarly, the JASC building which had been seri­ously neglected was in need of repair. The JASC Board made the repairs and opened the building to more community groups. Although two years have passed since Keiro was sold, its legacy remains. We continue to try to make the legacy positive and work together to serve the Japanese American community. Today, JASC is stronger and better organized, although we still have a way to go.our ; Board members are more involved and less deferential. Our Staff has become more aware of JASC the organization and how their programs fit into that organization. Most impor­tantly.our members have begun , to see a new range o.fprograms and activities being developed for all ages. We are actively preparing fo.the future. r 2 In FY 96-97, the Yamamoto-Yoshida families generously donated their third van in honor of William T. Yamamoto for our Adult Day Care Program. The van is instrumental in transporting our clients each day. In March 1997, our Adult Day Care, Counseling, and Chore Services Programs were reviewed by the United Way /Crusade of Mercy as part of its Quadrennial Review. We passed and received consider­able praise for our Adult Day Care Program and its Staff. In addition to these social services, JASC provided more programs and diverse activities during FY 96-97 then anyone can remem­ber in recent memory. We continued our arts and craft classes in ceramics, shodo (calligraphy), sumie (ink paint­ ing), minyo (folk dancing), kimekomi-ningyo (doll mak­ ing), futon making, ikebana (flower arranging), chanoyu (tea ceremony), quilting, and Japanese language. JASC intro­duced special event programs for Girl's Day (Hinamatsuri), Boy's Day (Tango No Sekku), Star Festival (Tanabata Matsuri) and a sumie for kids class. Christmas Delight (now known as Holiday Delight), with the addition of Kodomo Matsuri, in December brought multiple generations of Japanese Americans into the JASC. They bought gifts, made gingerbread houses, played kid's games and were enter­tained by taiko drums, the music of Keith and Betty Uchima and visits by Barney and Santa Claus. JASC continued its co-spon­sorship of activities and events like the "Old Fashioned Community Picnic" with the JACL, the Fall/Winter and Spring Fashion Shows with designs by Kanojo, two annual Health Screening Days with the support of Dr. Eric Mizuno, and Tohkon Judo Academy's Annual Kagami-Biraki (First Practice) celebration. Our cooking classes included instruction on preparation of sweets (koshi-an and ogura-an), rice cooking (Awase-Gohan & Takikomi), and a special class on Oshogatsu (New Year). In November 1996, we honored former Congressman Norman Mineta at Fuji Festival and heard his message of involvement in the community. In January 1997, JASC hosted a special program exploring intergenerational legacies with family therapist, Nobu Miyoshi. JASC also hosted a forum for Asian American College students at which JASC Board member Bob Kumaki talked about our community. In May 1997, Hiroki Sugihara and Anne Akabori came to discuss the life of Chiune Sugihara with our members. In a forum co-spon­sored with the Nichei Bei Journal, members could obtain autographed copies of Mr. Sugihara's book "Visas for Life," which describes how writing 6,000 visas saved many Jewish people from the Holocaust. Later that same month, JASC co-sponsored with Heiwa Terrace and the JACL a screening of the award-winning documentary "Topaz" by David Tatsuno, and we ended the month with a workshop for aspiring Asian American writers with Stewart David Ikeda, author of "What the Scarecrow Said." During FY 96­97, the JASC building was used not only for new activities, but also new groups like the Kagoshima Kenijin-kai, the American Buddhist Association and the Ukulele Club. In FY 96-97, the Yamamoto­Yoshida families generously donated their third van in honor of William T. Yamamoto for our Adult Day Care Program. The van is instrumental in transporting our clients each day. It is also put to other uses, such as transporting Nisei Post members downtown for the Asian American Lunar New Year parade in May and taking Heiwa Terrace residents grocery shopping every week. In December 1996, Sunnan Kubose decided to more actively pursue his ministry and left the JASC. At the request of the Board, the position of Interim Administrator until our search for a new Executive Director led to Jean M. Fujiu. In September 1996, JASC adopted the lotus as part of our new logo. In order to upgrade our administration and prepare for future programs JASC purchased new computers and decided to refocus the scholar­ships we administer on behalf of Sam Fukaye, Fred Toguri and William T. Yamamoto to emphasize community service. Fifty is middle age. JASC has survived this milestone because, despite adversity, we continue to pursue our original intent-to maintain a Japanese American community for our parents and for our children.

They havetpersevered through dtifficult circum­stances frequently giving above and beyond so that our clients and mem­bers would not suffetr through lean times . Adult Day Care The Adult Day Care program allows the elderly to stay with their families and avoid institutional care. Transportation to and from JASC is provid­ed by our customized bus. Activities are structured in a group setting to improve the physical and mental well-being of older adults. Participants eat a noon meal together and share such activities as field trips, ceramic and exercise classes. The sociaiservice and nursing staff develop l individual plans for each participant and monitor their progress. Home Support Services Home Suppor tiServices is designed to maii­ n tain and enhance independent living foithe elderly. The pro­ r gram offers an array of practical services that enable the individual to remain in the supportive environment of their home and familiar surroundings. We offer supervised support and care for frail older adults. Services may include: housekeeping task siand laundry, shopping, escort servicei ,i preparation of meals (includes special diet), nutritional assistance, bathing, grooming, and personal care. Private clients accepted, based upon worker availability. Counseling and Case Work This service helps clients achieve optimal psychological functioning and social adjustment. A bilin­gual counselor who speaks Japanese deals with questions involving financial and health issues as well as intergenerational relationships, language, and cross-cultural difficulties. Information about and referral services to other community resources, as well as case management, is also available. Cultural and Community Affairs This program offers cultur­al classes such as minyo (Japanese folk dancing), sumie (ink painting), calligraphy, ikebana (flower-arranging), chanoyu (the art of tea), kimekomi ningyo (Japanese doll-making), and other crafts. Ceramics, taiko (Japanese drumming), Japanese language, tai chi, and Japanese cooking classes are also offered. Programs on health and education are presented by this division of JASC as well as city-sponsored nutrition and "Volunteer Home Delivered Meals" services to the home-bound elderly. JASC's health screen­ing and free flu shots are also part of the program. JASC Archives El ,ti The JASC has under­ I taken an Archival Project to locate and catalogue the rich collection of records documenting the JASC's history and Japanese Americans' heritage in Chicago. The hope for the future is to create a perma­nent Legacy Center to house archives and a reading room to make available these important materials.

The JASC is where we connect with those who share our history and can support our individual growth. This has been our mission for more than 50 years and, although our community has changed and we have become more assimilated, we continue to enjoy the strength of unity and common values. We are proud of our legacy as a service organiza­tion, and we continue to find ways to enhance our role in the Japanese American Community and the Asian American Community. E: C 0 connect thru service Through the JASC, we connect with an increas­ ingly complex world of social services, hospitals, legal services and counseling. We also strengthen the bonds of ethnic identity by inviting each generation to interact and communicate in meaningful ways. Ir is by sharing our experi­ ences and our ideas, we discover the values that unite us. We have much to offer, to each other and to the world around us, and the more we reach out, the more we receive. connect thru diversity Throughout our history, we have faced many challenges. In the process, JASC has become an unique and respected organization. We include all and have become as diverse as the generations we serve and the communities of which we are a part. With social services and programs, we attend to the needs of our family-both old and young-and find value in what each has to offer. As we look to the future, our challenge is to con­ tinue to be one organization that represents and serves an increasingly diverse community: to speak for many with one voice. One way we do this is by reaching out and connecting with other organizations that share our goals. At the local, state, national and international level, we have been part of many events that raise the visibility of Japanese Americans in a positive way. Through our connections, the JASC also has a voice on issues that directly affect us, individually and as a group. Other organizations look to us to represent our community, to speak on their behalf and strengthen the connection between Asian Americans and groups around the world. Every day, through personal visits, phone calls, and letters, the JASC is building the relationships that allow our organization to better serve Japanese Americans. We are planting the seeds of goodwill, understanding and knowledge that we can harvest in the years ahead. connect with community The JASC is "home," a place that welcomes all in our extended family and provides a generous sense of belonging. We reflect the world around us and yet we remain connected with the history, the culture and the values that define us as Japanese Americans. w OM ro E-A S C JASC social services HOME SUPPORT SERVICES Supervisor: Helen Nakayama array of practical services that enable the escort service, preparation of meals individual to remain in the supportive (includes special diet), nutritional assis­ environment of their home and familiar tance, bathing, grooming, and personal surroundings.

It featured some new leadership and some original or revamped programming. It started with the l happy addition of a new executive director, Jean M. J Fujiu. Jean brings to the position a keen sense of responsibility, a strong sense of organization, and a deep commitment to our Japanese American community. Fortunately for us, Jean is also blessed with a sense of humor that allows her to deal with the steady stream of reports that need to be written, meetings to be attended, crises both major and minor, and the many personalities that comprise our staff, our board, and our community. It's no easy job but certainly one which Jean has jumped into with enthusiasm and good grace. The JASC Board has taken to heart the lessons it has had to learn. The Board now includes three Nisei members, ten Sansei members, three Yonsei members, one shin-Issei member, two multiracial members, and two European American members; the JASC board is beginning to reflect the diversity within the Japanese American community. Furthermore, in light of the minimal staffing that operates the JASC, the JASC Board recognized the need for it to become more of a working board. Consequently, the Board adopted a series of guidelines that spell out the expectations for board members in terms of fundraising and program participation. The JASC has made a concerted effort to reinforce our community's traditions, building upon them so as to stimulate increased interest while adapting them to contemporary realities and current concerns. Our programming and services continue to reflect that endeavor. Therefore, we were thrilled to be able to honor Judge Lance Ito at Fuji Festival; his deeply moving and inspirational remarks left everyone who heard him feeling a renewed sense of pride in our common Japanese American heritage and in the accomplishments of the JASC. Other events continued this effort to celebrate our past while planning for our future. The Holiday Delight Sale and Kodomo Matsuri, for example, again brought out the younger members of the community in force. One young boy was overheard telling some younger children that " ... this ( the JASC building) is where Barney lives." In March, the JASC took 110 children on "A Trip To Japan." This fun-filled day featured an inventive, imaginary journey on the bullet train through various Japanese cities where our young passengers had a chance to experience some hands-on arts and crafts from each city. By the end of the day, the "jet-lagged" children each had a bag of beautiful, handmade "souvenirs" along with a "passport" full of colorful stamps, ready for a real trip. In April, the JASC was delighted to present performance artist and storyteller Brenda Wong Aoki at the Field Museum. Through her deft mixture of stories and music, Aoki had her audience laughing (and occasionally crying) in self-recognition. Market Day featured a more family-oriented PRESIO N S . E.:SSAGE program this year, and June saw the JASC sponsor its At the JASC, we've forced ourselves to take many first lock-in for our youth members. We hope that we're long, hard looks at ourselves and at our community and laying the foundation for a strong future generation of identify our mistakes as well as our successes. FY 97-98 the Japanese American community. has been a year of evaluation and reflection as well as The JASC has continued to strive to offer our planning and preparation. We're by no means finished; membership and the broader Japanese American there's a lot in store for the future of the JASC and the community, cultural programs, community events and Japanese American community.

No longer do we easily fit into the comfort of traditional Issei/Nisei/Sansei designations. Many of our community Sandra S. Yamate members are mixed race. Some come from families that President experienced the World War II in Japan or in Hawaii rather than in an internment camp. Still others see no relevance of the Japanese American community in their lives. As our community grows older, we need to pre­ pare to relinquish leadership to Yonsei and Gosei who are proving themselves in other social, professional, and civic arenas. It makes for a complex community, but it's ours and the sooner we see it for what it is rather than what we want it to be, the sooner we can plan and adapt for our future. a word of thanks Dear Friends: This has been a year of developing relationships My first year as Executive Director went by with the and renewing connections that will benefit the JASC. speed of a shinkansen-bullet train.

We continued to build our infrastructure by organizing space, Naoki Kamijima's life was tragically cut short. He came to the United States and worked hard to build a good life for himself, his wife, Cindy, and children, Craig and Erica. He gave back to the community and had a positive out­look. He did not feel that he had experienced racism. Now his family is suffering from the worst impact of racism. improving technology and developing systems. We expanded current programming and branched out into some new areas. We have worked on the scheduling and pacing of events and programs so that we could give each our best attention. We were still working with a limited administrative staff and this was a challenge for meeting objectives in the time that we projected, but as usual and fortunately for us, board members and volunteers stepped in to fill the gap. Our membership responded by increasing and we saw a doubling of our "Sansei" members under 65 years old. Special events revenue, corporate partnerships and contributions increased, which, along with a very generous bequest from the Thomas Arai estate, helped to make our dreams of expanding servic­es..and becoming more financially independent a closer reality. The JASC has become an active commu­nity c nter; a typical evening would have a club meeting in one room while a comr:nittee meeting goes on in nother, accompanied by taiko drums in the back room and judo classes going on at Tohkon. -0 e major event that both reflected the strength of our community and exemplified the JASC's incre ed community involvement was our response to the racially motivated murder of Naoki Kamijima. The JASC worked with the JACL and other Asian American individuals and groups to coordinate a multi­pronged response. The Town Hall meeting held at CBS studios drew over 200 people. A meaningful dia­ gae was held between the Cook County and McHenry County State's Attorneys, the Chicago Police Department, the judges, advocacy groups, victims of hate crimes, media and concerned citizens. We also coordinated a fundraising drive for the future education of Craig and Erica Kamijima, which raised over $10,000 from over 200 concerned individuals. We and the JACL continue to provide support for the Kamijima family and express our concern over this hate crime by attending court dates and meeting with the McHenry County State's Attorney. It is important for us as Japanese Americans to realize that preju­dice is still an important issue for our community, and it is through connecting with our Japanese American, Asian American and non-Asian advocacy groups that we can work for peace and equality. Along with the rest of the Nikkei community, we have been wondering: Who are we? What do we want? What do we need? How will we care for our aging seniors? How will we reach our younger gener­ations? Thanks to a generous grant from the Retirement Research Foundation, we hope to find the answers to these questions and more. We are fortunate to have the assistance of our community researchers and focus group facilitators who, along with the board and staff, have developed a careful plan for the Community Assessment. You are a valuable resource. Please participate if we send you a survey or ask you to be in a focus group. As always, I am deeply gratified by the generosity and commitment of our community. My heartfelt thanks. .m-. ;JJean M. Fujiu Executive Director PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Over the holidays and the new year, the JASC was a year of focus on foundation. It was a year spent reinforcing membership, leadership, staff, and programming while strengthening and building the foundation for the future and a new millennium. We launched the year with a board retreat. We determined that we needed to build our offerings of cultural programming to foster a Japanese American cultural heritage that complements other cultures while nurturing a sense of Japanese American community identity. It is the greatest trib­ute that we can pay to the many lssei, Nisei, and other friends and supporters of our community who have given us the JASC as a very precious legacy. Our first opportunity to actively pursue this direction came in August. The JASC hosted a pub­lic policy briefing and issues forum that was pre­sented by the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies. This session provided a much-needed opportunity for our community to hear firsthand from governmental appointees with direct responsibility for dealing with matters such as hate crimes, anti-Asian violence, new business lending programs, affirmative action, campaign finance reform, and Asian scapegoating. Fuji Festival provided another example of this direction. Actor/Director Chris Tashima and Producer Tim Toyama presented their Academy Award winning short film, "Visas and Virtue." Tashima and Toyama represent a new generation of Japanese Americans who are able to look to Japanese and Japanese American history, culture, and heritage as a source of inspiration for their art while earning critical acclaim in the mainstream. launched a new membership program called "Give the Gift of Heritage" as a means to help current JASC members introduce younger family members to the benefits of JASC membership. Spring saw the advent of the Caring Is Preparing workshops which updated our senior members and their current or future caregivers about Health Insurance, Social Security and Disability, Estate Planning, and Caring for the Elderly. Spring also saw the JASC receive a two­year grant to do community assessment to provide a more definitive understanding about who that community is, its issues, needs and concerns, and the ways that the JASC can better serve it. The fiscal year closed on a sadder but wiser note. In April, Naoki Kamijima was shot to death in his general store in McHenry County, IL The case is being pursued by the authorities as a hate crime. In June, the JASC and the JACL convened a "Townhall Meeting on Hate Crimes Against Asian Americans." If ever we needed community, we need it now. As the Japanese American community grows and prospers, it is important that we not lose the culture and heritage that allowed us to reach this point. Community becomes crucial. Without it, we are simply small groups of isolated individuals. FY98-99 laid the foundation for a renewed sense of community, one that is ready for the 21st Century. czU e.v!rn.tJ1m President JASC SOCIAL SERVICES HOME SUPPORT SERVICES is designed to maintain and enhance independent living for the elderly. The program offers an array of practical services that enable the individual to remain in the supportive environment of their home and familiar sur­roundings. We offer supervised support and care for frail older adults. Services may include: housekeeping tasks and laundry, shopping, escort service, preparation of meals (includes special diet), nutritional assistance, bathing, grooming, and personal care. Private clients accepted, based upon worker availability. Supervisor: Helen Nakayama ADULT DAY SERVICES program allows the elderl y to stay with their families and avoid institutional care. Transportation to and from JASC is provided by our customized bus. Activities are structured in a group setting to improve the physical and mental well-being of older adults. Participants eat a noon meal together and share such activi­ ties as field trips, ceramic and exercise classes. The social service and nursing staff develop individual plans for each participant and monitor their progress.

AND YOU CAN DEPEND ON US. For fifty-four consecutive years-from the period immediately following World War Ihthrough the dawn of the newh I millennium-the Japanese American Service Commhittee has worked to promote the family and communhity. Or perhaps, to reflect our current activities more accuratehly, we should say communities. In the early years, resettlement was the primary focus of the JASC's operationshwe helped establish homes for Japaneseh : American citi zens who came to Chicago upon their release from the wartime internment camps. Over the years, we broadened our purpose and scope to accommodate the developing concerns of our members. Today the JASC offers a wide array of programs and services. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, we at the JASC work for visibility in the national arena to be more effective addressing local issues here at home. We work in partnership with agencies representing people from the entire spectrum of Asian nationalities to assist our own Japanese American members and friends. We work with many to serve you. For fiftyjour years the Japanese Amer;can Serv;ce Comm;ttee has worked to promote the fam;Jy and commun;ty. YOU CAN DEPEND ON US TO PROMOTE THE WELL-BEING OF FAMILIES. --.----.-.­ . ---. - By offering a variety of cultural programs and classes, together with our core social services, the JASC serves families. Through our Kodama Matsuri activities, storytelling events, and the Tampopo-kai play group, we help to introduce children to the language and cultural traditions of Japan. Through our classes in traditional arts and crafts, we help their parents and grandparents keep in touch with their cultural roots. Through our Legacy Center archives and library and our sponsorship of the Intergenerational Dialogues series and other programs that address ethnic identity, we help all of our members and friends find and understand their places in society and history. Our twice-a-year health screenings and year-round counseling services allow members and friends to provide for their personal health and peace of mind. And our home support services and adult day services help to preserve the intact family unit by giving elderly clients of all ethnic and religious backgrounds a way to live at home, either independently or with caregivers. To offer the best possible level of elder care services, the JASC works with a number of agencies, among them the Chicago Department of Human Services-Asian American Seniors' Day, Coalition of Limited English Speaking Elderly, Asian American Health Coalition, Illinois Department on Aging, and National Asian Pacific Center on Aging. Through cultural programming and social services, the JASC serves people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. YOU CAN DEPEND ON US TO PROMOTE THE WELL-BEING OF THE NIKKEi COMMUNITY. Lives change. People change. Communities change. Fortunately, even though the Japanese American community is no longer clustered together, it still celebrates together, and the JASC frequently provides the occasion, as well as the venue. Market Day, the community picnic, Fuji Festival, and Holiday Delight are annual highlights of the calendar. The JASC's links with the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs/Chicago Neighborhood Tours, Illinois Arts Council, and Uptown Chamber of Commerce enhance the quality of these and other festive gatherings. But celebrations alone cannot create a sense of unity and ethnic identity. Through our co-sponsorship of the annual Day of Remembrance and special events such as the "Children of the Camps" documentary screening and discussion, the JASC helps to provide a forum in which members of the community can reflect on and share the lessons of their collective experience. To ensure that the JASC can continue to serve the human needs of its members and friends in the future, we launched the Nikkei Community Assessment project in the spring of 2000. Thanks to the participation of hundreds of people throughout the Chicagoland area, the JASC will gain an accurate picture of the community's current and future concerns about senior care. And to ensure that we do not forget the past, the JASC maintains the Legacy Center archives and library. ''Japanese" ne;ghborhoods no longer ex;st, but we can susta;n t;es to the commun;ty through the JASC. YOU CAN DEPEND ON US TO PROMOTE THE WELL-BEING OF THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. Different cultures observe different holidays, but just about everyone celebrates the coming of the New Year. For years, the JASC has joined with the Asian American Coalition of Chicago to bring Lunar New Year festivities to the city and to honor the efforts and achievements of individual members of its various Asian communities. In addition to celebrations, the JASC actively participates in projects that are of importance to the everyday life of the Asian community as a whole. During the spring of 2000, for example, the JASC helped to distribute flyers describing the perpetrator of a number of crimes that apparently targeted Asian women. These flyers were translated into several Asian languages and were mailed to ethnic businesses, community organizations, and religious organizations. The JASC works in partnership with many other organizations serving the greater Asian population on the national, state, and local levels. Among them: • Asian American Advisory Council to the Cook County State's Attorney • Asian American Advisory Council to the State Comptroller • Asian American Bar Association • Chicago Japanese American Council • City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations • Illinois Asian American Hate Crime Network • National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium The JASC ;s an act;ve part;c;pant ;n projects that are ;mportant to the everyday life of the As;an commun;ty as a whole. YOU CAN DEPEND ON US TO REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITIES ON A NATIONAL SCALE. Chicago's Japanese American community has traditionally been strong and active; nearly every Nikkei family in the US has direct or indirect links with Chicago and the JASC. But compared with other Asian American groups, the Japanese American community is relatively small in number, and it is shrinking. It is critical, therefore, that we develop nationwide networks to get our needs met. By sending representatives to regional and national conferences, the JASC has cultivated significant relationships with Asian organizations with nationwide focus and has made them aware of the specific concerns of Chicago's Japanese American population. The JASC and our executive director, Jean Fu jiu, were recognized on a more far-reaching scale when Jean received the Consul General's Commendation through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. Jean subsequently took an educational trip to Japan under the auspices of the Program for Japanese Descendents, also sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. These programs enabled the JASC to establish and strengthen communications with many relevant individuals and organizations in Japan. So this is how the JASC has worked for you for fifty-four years, whether across the ocean, across the country, across the metro area, or within your home. We know that you are our strength. And you know that you can depend on us. Nearly every Japanese Amer;can fam;Jy ;n the US has a connect;on to ch;cago and the JASC. Lisa Sakai PRESIDENT FROM THE PRESIDENT AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends: They say that the third time's the charm, and FY 2000 certainly seemed charmed for the JASC. This was the third year for Executive Director Jean Fujiu and the first term for President Lisa Sakai. Lisa brought a warm and pragmatic approach to the position, determined to accomplish many long-standing and long-awaited goals. As with the rest of the world, first we had to prepare for Y2K and the transition to the new millennium. In our case, preparation meant anticipating any eventuality both for the agency and for all of our clients. Happily, we all survived successfully. Our 53rd year was definitely the year for establishing and expanding our cooperative events and programs with many Japanese, Japanese American, Asian American and non-Asian groups. Our community picnic was co-hosted by the JASC, Japanese American Citizens League-Chicago Chapter, Asian American Law Enforcement Association and Tohkon Judo Academy. According to the number of wristbands passed out, over 450 adults, youth, children and pets participated. Many dreamed of being discovered singing karaoke; the children lined up to bounce around in the Jumping Jack; and the Tohkon Judo Academy pulled the Asian American Law Enforcement team off their feet in a tug-o' -war competition. Fuji Festival rode the wave of nostalgia. Pat Suzuki, from the original stage production of"Flower Drum Song," gave tribute to the love and support from her sister and father to follow her dream of performing. Their strong friendship brought a surprise visit from George Yoshida, author of"Reminiscing in Swingtime," which describes Japanese Americans in jazz. Pat also introduced us to the violinist Mia Wu, whose family was so proud that she was giving back to the community that they flew in from the West Coast. We were also very successful, with a full house and net revenue far exceeding other Fuji Festivals of recent memory. The charm extended to our two community festivals, Holiday Delight/Kodomo Matsuri and Market Day/Natsu lchi Nisen. These show the heart of the community: Over 200 volunteers and over ten organizations worked hard to produce delicious, homestyle Japanese food, ethnic performances and unique, cultural activities for children. Only at the JASC can you find an Asian Santa Claus and our favorite Murasaki (purple) dinosaur. Thanks to Mike Tanimura, we now have twenty picture collages that show historical and current facets of the JASC. The JASC took a more active role in coordinating the Nikkei community's participation in the Asian American Coalition's Lunar New Year Celebration and New Asian American Festival in Daley Plaza. Many were happy to join us in honoring Yutaka Kanemoto as the Japanese American Community Service awardee at the first event. He spent many years of his life quietly providing leadership in the Japanese Mutual Aid Society, which supplies such a crucial service to our community. He will be greatly missed. Sadly, spring seems to have become a time for growing hate as well as flowers. Attacks on Asian-appearing women occurred through northern Chicago and the northern suburbs-allegedly the horrible work of one man. The JASC participated in the effort to educate the Asian American community towards greater safety and towards the end of these attacks. Led by the largely unrecognized efforts of JACL Midwest Director Bill Yoshino, the Illinois Asian American Hate Crime Network gained unfortunate but necessary experience working with the media, law enforcement and public officials. Bill still coordinates support in the courtroom for the family of Naoki Kamijima, allegedly slain as a victim of hate. FROM THE PRESIDENT AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR On a more positive note, the Intergenerational Legacy Project co-sponsored by JASC and JACL brought unique programs to the community including the documentary film "Children of the Camps" with Dr. Satsuki Ina; presentations by Hideko Tamura Snyder, author of"One Sunny Day" and a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima; and our "Caring Is Preparing" series. Did you know that our social service programs are considered a role model in ethnic programming for seniors? Our Adult Day Services (ADS) staff create a homey and fun atmosphere that keeps seniors connected socially and lively mentally. Our Home Support Services program is the sole ethnic provider of housekeeping services for Japanese and Japanese American seniors. Our Counseling program is one of the few settings supervised by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker where bilingual Japanese/English, social work, psychology and nursing interns can gain valuable experience. With grants from the Retirement Research Foundation and BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois, we were able to launch the first extensive community assessment in twenty years. Thanks to our team of staff, community researchers, board members, focus group facilitators, consultants and other volunteers, we completed three focus groups and distributed over 2000 surveys. Sadly, one of our team, Jerry Okubo, a well-respected children's therapist, died unexpectedly before seeing completion of this project. One day we hope to fulfill his wish to make the JASC the place where the community members can receive support for even the most difficult challenges. other highlights of this charmed year include: Participation in the 2nd National Nikkei 2000 Conference in San Francisco; Sandra Yamate's receiving the coveted Jefferson Award for community service; Jean's receiving the first "Grassroots" commendation given by Consul General Mitoji Yabunaka and an unexpected and life-changing trip to Japan sponsored by Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We were able to connect regionally, nationally and internationally for the benefit of the Chicago Nikkei community-both American­born Japanese and Japanese citizens who are in the United States temporarily or permanently. In addition, we were able to provide for the years to come by awarding $6,000 in scholarships to six community service-oriented high school graduates. There is a strong future for the Nikkei community if we learn to work together both within and beyond its boundaries. You are our strength and you can depend on us-today, tomorrow and beyond. Sincerely yours, Lisa Sakai PRESIDENT . r>t. Si .. 0 '.':: ,.::U]iU EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JASC COMMUNITY PROGRAMS Legacy Center (Archives and Library) Archivist: Deborah Mieko King Burns The purpose of the JASC Legacy Center is to appraise, collect, organize, describe, preserve, and make available for reference and research information resources from the Japanese American community in the six-county Chicago area. It houses the JASC archives and serves as a community repository for records and infor­mation resources about Japanese Americans and Asian Americans. We provide reference services for our collections, can help you make connections with community members, will lend selected materials, or can refer you to other repositories. Our collections are available for use by appoint­ment. All people are welcome. Nikkei Community Assessment Project Coordinator: Deborah Mieko King Burns The JASC received a two-year grant from the Retirement Research Foundation to gather specific information about seniors and their caregivers. The JASC seeks to understand the extent of demographic and socioeconomic changes in the community and how these changes impact the community and the JASC's services and programs. Results of the entire project will be reported in the summer of 2001. Cultural & Community Affairs Coordinator: Sharon Harada Assistant: Kay Kawaguchi Cultural and Community Affairs offers cultural classes such as sumie (ink paint­ing), calligraphy, ikebana (flower-arranging), the art of tea, kimekomi ningyo (Japanese doll-making), and other crafts. Ceramics, taiko (Japanese drumming), tai chi, Japanese language and Japanese cooking classes are also offered. Educational programs on Medicare and long-term care coverage, twice-yearly health screening blood tests, and annual free flu shots are also part of the program as well as city-sponsored nutrition and "Volunteer Home Delivered Meals" services to the homebound elderly.

A nonprofit social service agency, founded August 30, 1946, the Japanese American Service Committee serves the aged, families, and individuals in the Japanese American, other Asian, and non-Asian communities in Chicago and suburbs. Japanese American Service Committee does not discriminate in admission to programs or treatment of employment in programs or activities in compliance with the Illinois Human Rights Act; the U.S. Civil Rights Act; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act; the Age Discrimination Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; and the U.S. and Illinois Constitutions. If you feel you have been discriminated against, you have a right to file a complaint. For information, contact the JASC at 773,275.0097. JASC 4427 N.

The agency was established to provide assis­tance-in the form of social services-to Japanese Americans who resettled in the Chicago area. Now, more than a half-century later, the JASC continues its work, even though its original constituency has, for the most part, moved beyond the shadow of the war years. For better or for worse, the concerns of today's Japanese Americans match those of the population at large, and the JASC, through its social services, is still responding to those concerns. The following pages, we hope, will demon­strate how the JASC's social services meet the current needs of the community. Adult Day Services Adult Day Services would be a good option for your mother-in­law because it provides stimulat­ing activities and opportunities for socialization. It can also help her progress in ambulation. Keeping clients emotionally and socially involved and maintaining their physical and mental status are what the JASC's Adult Day Services (ADS) program strives for. But the larger goal is to help seniors remain in their own homes and prevent or delay their placement in nursing homes. Established in 1981, ADS is one of the oldest senior day care programs in the city. It serves a client population that includes persons of all ethnic backgrounds who have Alzheimer's disease, other dementia states, Parkinson's disease, or other chronic disorders (eg, high blood pressure and arthritis). It also includes people who are lucky enough to be in generally good health, but who need a source of regular human contact. Many clients reach ADS through their families' initiative; many others are referred through the Illinois Department on Aging, Catholic Charities, or the Veterans Administration. Some are private-pay clients, but those who need financial assistance participate under the auspices of the community care program. Family involvement is another major variable. Some clients have no living relatives or are estranged from their relatives. Some are in the care of family members who need a few hours' break during the day. For all of these clients, the ADS provides a supportive, nurturing environment. Because ADS serves a relatively small clientele, language is not as formidable a barrier as it would be in a nursing home. ADS staff members are willing and able to make the effort to understand each client's needs, even if he or she communicates in a language other than the three basic ones spoken in the program. In addition, the group setting often draws clients out; even "loners" can become surprisingly cooperative and outgoing. Many elderly people, even those who exhibit some degree of confusion, do not need to be institutional­ized. ADS is an option that allows these people to remain at home, preserving their own feelings of security, as well as the family unit. For their part, the family should keep in mind that the key is early intervention: providing for their elderly relatives before they get sick and begin a vicious cycle of hospitals and nursing homes. ADULT DAY SERVICES "My mother-in-law is 82 years old, and she's in a nursing home for rehabilitation. She'll be discharged soon, but then what should we do to help her get stronger?" Casework and Counseling uMy family and I moved to Chicago from Japan recently) and we have difficulty communicating with my childrens schoolteachers. Would you help us?n CASEWOR K AND COU NSELING The JASC Casework and Counseling program can provide a bilingual (English/Japanese) social worker who can go beyond simple interpre­tation by helping you understand the school system and helping the school understand your children's educational experience and needs. No one is immune to stress, and stress can come from a number of sources, big and small. Intergenerational relationships, language and cross­cultural difficulties, financial issues, and health issues: any and all of these factors can upset the bal­ance of life. Helping individuals and families regain that balance is the goal of the JASC's Casework and Counseling program. Unique among programs of its type in that it encom­passes a broad range of issues, Casework and Counseling is also unique among JASC programs because it most likely has existed throughout the agency's lifetime. The current program serves people of all ages. The Casework service links people with the appropriate resources such as hospitals, schools, legal services and human services. Counseling ses­sions are conducted by a bilingual, licensed clinical social worker who is also a certified counselor in issues related to alcohol and substance abuse. The counseling process is a collaborative activity: the social worker and each client agree on specific goals and objectives over the long term, and they agree on what they will work toward in any given session. Japanese, English, or both may be used in sessions, depending on the client's preference. All sessions are completely confidential. Counseling sessions may be conducted on an indi­vidual basis involving a client alone, but certain cases may require the participation of others as well. For example, a high school student with behavioral problems may attend sessions with his parents. Or a married couple may work to resolve communication problems due to cultural or ethnic differences. In cases such as the latter, the social worker might act as a mediator to help each spouse understand why his or her partner acts or behaves in a certain way. The social worker might also act as an advocate in situations in which a client cannot express himself or herself adequately in English. In fact, language and cultural differences may also lead to a serious secondary problem such as violent behavior or drug or substance abuse. This might be the case, for example, in people who experience culture shock or feelings of isolation, such as students from Japan who attend area universities. An apparently small goal-achieving an adequate psychological, emotional, and social life-can be a great challenge. For those who understand that they need help in meeting that goal, the Casework and Counseling program can offer assistance. Home Support Services uMy mother died recently, and my father doesn't know how to do the laundry or clean his home. He doesn't have a lot of money to pay for hired helpers. " HOME SU PPOR T SER VICES The JASC's Home Support Services can provide a homemaker to help your father with his laundry and housecleaning. He can get these services subsidized through the Illinois Department on Aging's Community Care Program, but JASC also provides these services at low rates for private clients. Everyday home life consists of a number of tasks, some of which become difficult or impossible to perform when a person gets older and loses muscu­lar strength. Time, distance, and myriad other reasons may keep us from helping our elderly relatives with those tasks in the way we might wish. Home Support Services offers assistance to both client and caregiver with the activities of daily life that used to be so routine. Cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, bathing, and other personal care are just a few examples of the services in and around the home that Homemaker Assistants perform for clients. In addition, they can function as escorts, accompa­nying clients to doctors' appointments. What they do not do are tasks associated with nursing care, such as administering medication, maintaining feeding tubes, or changing diapers. The JASC's Home Support Services program dates back to the early 1970s. We are the only agency to have a contract with the Illinois Department on Aging to provide homemaker services to Japanese and Japanese American clients with low incomes. All Homemaker Assistants receive extensive training that meets the requirements of the State of Illinois and that includes particular emphasis on cultural sensitivity. Homemaker Assistants also undergo a fingerprint check by the Illinois State Police, and a background check for felony arrests in the srate. Home Support Services can be engaged for the short term, such as the period following discharge from the hospital. It can also be engaged over the long term on a regular schedule. In either case, the program works to help older people remain safely in their own homes and maintain their independence. One beneficial side effect of the Homemaker Assistants' visits is that they provide a measure of social interaction and support for the clients. Another is that they provide time­strapped caregivers with relief from the stress of their duties. As an extension of its housekeeping focus, Home Support Services checks in by telephone with clients and with people who live outside of the service area. These calls are made on a periodic basis just to keep in touch, as well as during weather-related emergencies. Safety, independence, and peace of mind. Home Support Services helps seniors move forward without sacrificing these basic rights. . - Wellness Programs Our Health Screening Day is a chance to check your blood pressure and to get basic blood chemistry readings. You can also get tested for signs of prostate cancer, stomach ulcers, and diabetes. Losing the ability to function independently because of illness, ignorance, or any other reason is a fear we all share. Through the JASC's wellness programs, we can take steps to help ensure that we can contin­ue to manage our own lives. The JASC health screenings take place in the spring and fall of each year. At these events, physicians and nurses come to the agency to check blood pressure, oversee blood screening tests, and offer advice on nutrition and other health-and fitness­related topics. Osteoporosis screening is offered periodically, and recent health screening events also have featured bone marrow donor drives. Getting fit can also be fun in Tai Chi classes or Minyo dancing. To help senior citizens safeguard against potentially serious illness during the winter, the JASC serves as the site for free flu and pneumonia shots under the auspices of the Chicago Department on Aging and the Chicago Department of Public Health. This one-day event takes place in the late fall of each year. Good health and good nutrition go hand in hand. Together with the Chicago Department on Aging, the JASC offers the Golden Diners program, serving healthful, low-cost lunches every Monday through Friday throughout the year. An added benefit of this program is the social aspect, the opportunity to visit with friends over meals. We cannot control the world around us, but we can take steps to understand it better. To that end, the JASC presents educational workshops on such topics as Medicare and other health insurance, financial and estate planning, and long-term care. To deal with the more immediate forces around us, members and friends may choose to take advantage of the two-day driver's education courses developed by the American Association of Retired Persons. One-day courses focusing on the State of Illinois driver's license examination are also available. These courses are given in both English-language and Japanese-language sessions. At the JASC, wellness is regarded as a state that requires a comprehensive approach to management. With an ever-developing menu of workshops and other events, the agency seeks to provide communi­ty members with the tools to help them stay in good health and in touch with the world. WELLNESS PROGRAM uIJ m almost as old as my parents were when they diedJ and IJ m e a little concrned. How can I monitor my health between visits to the doctor? )) From the President Dear Friends: After over a half century in Chicago the JASC is stronger than ever, and we will continue co serve the Asian American community as long as there is a need for us co be here. And today there is still a need. In an ideal world, there would be no need for ethnically based organizations because people would not be separated by race. In an ideal world, people would understand that the things that make us the same are more important than the things chat make us different. Unfortunately, we are not there yet. The September r 1th tragedy showed us how much hate and intolerance still exist in the world. In the aftermath of chat horror, organizations like the JASC will be crucial cowards increasing the public's understanding of minorities and immigrants and their contributions co American society. Granted, we are not the largest organization in Chicago, nor is the Japanese American community the largest ethnic group in the city. But the lack of large numbers does not mean chat we cannot make a meaningful contribution. And do not doubt that the JASC has made a difference. Come visit the JASC and watch our Adule Day Service clients enjoy a visit from some children in obser­vance of Keiro No Hi (Respect for Elders day). Have your high school student use our Archives co research her paper on the U.S. Constitution and the Internment Camps. Come join us at one of our Health Fairs and register with the National Marrow Donor Program or stop in during Holiday Delighc/Kodomo Macsuri and watch your child's face as he sees his first Asian Santa Claus. These may seem like small things, but they can make a world of difference. Remember the story of the starfish? After a storm, a man was walking down the beach throwing starfish chat had washed up on the sand back into the water. Another man watching him asked him why he bothered, since there were hundreds of starfish on the beach and he could never save all of chem. The first man threw a starfish back in the water then turned co the other man and said­"made a difference to that one." The JASC has been successful because through the years we have been fortunate co have a dedicated staff and substantial support from community members. Almost 100% of our cultural program­ I ming and about 25% of our social services are funded by you, our members-through your l membership contributions, donations and special events. You should be as proud of that face as we are graceful. If you would like co save even more starfish, I hope you will consider ocher ways in which you can help. Perhaps you would like to volunteer at one of our events or, if time is a scarce resource and you are feeling particularly generous, come talk co us about Planned Giving bequests. Lisa Sakai PRESIDENT From the Executive Director Dear Friends: There is still an important role for the JASC to play in helping people through our Social Service programs. We know of fewer than 50 Issei in the Chicagoland area. Now it is our Nisei generation who are facing the challenges of aging. The Issei and Nisei worked hard so chat we could be here, and we owe them the best that we can give. We know chat our community highly values independence, and we can provide services in a way that is respectful of independence while supporting health and safety. It is equally important to care for the caregiver. Frequently, caregivers are also seniors and may have challenges of their own. Adult children as caregivers may find the roles reversing and have difficult decisions to make on behalf of their parents or other aging relatives. Therefore, the JASC Social Services have come to be of benefit to multiple generations, and we intend to expand our support across geographic, generational and diverse boundaries. Our Adule Day Services and Homemakers programs were among the earliest established in the City of Chicago. Our staff brings that experience, knowledge and creativity to any concern and will provide consultation even if we are unable to provide the direct services. The counseling program is not as limited by geographic or generational boundaries. That our social worker is bilingual enables us to support those with limited English speaking ability in complex and often confusing educational, legal and human service systems. People can receive services in the privacy of their homes and in their communities, where direct support is needed. Many have come to trust the JASC to have their best interests at heart, and they know that we will help in any way we can. The JASC has also played an important role informing the community about significant events and issues, including the need for Asian American bone marrow donors. Jim Isono, a long-time Chicagoan, was in need of a stem cell transplant as a result of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Even while ill, Jim educated the community about the lack of potential bone marrow donors among the Japanese American and multiracial and multiethnic populations. The JASC held two of the seven bone marrow donor drives in which about 600 potential donors were registered at various Asian American churches, organizations and businesses. Unfortunately, no match was found for Jim. We grieve his passing, but he leaves a priceless legacy of five matches that were found for ochers. We are very fortunate because, whether it is a client, caregiver, staff person, volunteer, board member, donor or corporate sponsor, every day we see people going above and beyond. We have many challenges ahead, but we have the strength of our values, our caring and our commitment to face them well. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JASC Con1n1unity Progran1s Legacy Center (Archives and Library) Archivist: Deborah Mieko Burns The purpose of the JASC Legacy Center is to appraise, collect, organize, describe, preserve, and make available for reference and research information resources from the Japanese American community in the six-county Chicago area. It houses the JASC archives and serves a community repository for records and information resources about Japanese Americans and Asian Americans. The Legacy Center seeks to preserve and promote com­munity heritage and common understanding of the Japanese American experience as an integral part of American history. We provide reference services for our collections, can help you make connections with community members, will lend selected materials, or can refer you to other repositories. Our collections are available for use by appointment. All people are welcome. Nikkei Community Assessment Project Coordinator: Deborah Mieko Burns The JASC received a two-year grant from the Retirement Research Foundation for this project, designed to gather specific information about seniors and their caregivers. The JASC sought to understand the extent of demographic and socioeconomic changes in the community and how these changes impact the community and the JASC's services and programs. Results of the entire project will be reported in 2002. Cultural & Community Affairs Coordinator: Sharon Harada Assistant: Kay Kawaguchi Cultural and Community Affairs offers cultural classes such as sumie (ink painting), ikebana (flower-arranging), origami (paper-folding), the art of tea, and quilt and minyo (Japanese folk-dancing) clubs. Ceramics, taiko (Japanese drumming), tai chi, Japanese language and Japanese cooking classes are also offered. Special programs have included kamishibai (picture-board storytelling) and Hiroko Fujita, a Japanese storyteller, educator, and author. Educational programs on Medicare and long-term care coverage, twice-yearly health screening blood tests, and annual free flu shots are also part of the program as well as a city-sponsored nutrition or Golden Diners program. 14 =n¾.B.A.B*A..-.(l)M...tl..

As might be expected, those needs changed with time. This periodic reassessment and refocusing of energies to reflect the lives of its members has been a regular and necessary exercise during the JASC's more than 50 years of existence. In June 2002, the following revision of the organization's mission statement was approved at the annual Membership meeting. The mission of the Japanese American Service Committee is to provide comprehensive social services such as adult day care, home support care and counseling to the diverse community of the greater Chicago/and area. The JASC is also dedicated to raising awareness and preserving its Japanese American heritage through the presentation of educational and cultural programming. Providing social services and preserving Japanese American heritage. This is how the JASC strengthens the fabric of the com­munity today. This is how the JASC works each and every day. CONNECTING WITH OUR SENIORS On a given winter morning, a visitor to the JASC might notice a group of senior citizens seated at tables in the Adult Day Services area. They are going over the news of the day with one of the activity leaders. This is one of the many ways in which Adult Day Services helps seniors keep in touch with themselves, each other, and the outside world. Seniors who are emotionally and socially involved and who maintain their physical well-being can avoid or delay being placed into nursing homes. Thus, Adult Day Services offers activities, games, and exercise, as well as the opportunity to dine with others in a group setting. It uses holiday celebrations to involve families in the group ... or to create an extended family for clients who have no close relatives. On that same winter morning, a visitor might find the super­visor of Home Support Services placing calls to the homes of other seniors. She asks about their health, inquires whether their homes are adequately heated during the ongoing cold snap, and tells them about an upcoming community event at the JASC. At that moment, in other parts of the city, the homemakers on her staff are arriving at clients' homes to clean, to put away groceries they purchased, or to cook something tasty for the evening meal. Helping senior citizens live independently, comfortably, and safely in their own homes for as long as they can. This is how the JASC strengthens the fabric of the community today. CONNECTING ACROSS BARRIERS On another day, a visitor might enter the JASC building just as the social worker from the Casework and Counseling program is leaving. She is rushing out to meet with a family who lives in a suburb of Chicago. The family has recently arrived from japan and needs some assistance in registering the oldest child for the upcoming term at the local high school. The social worker, who speaks both English and Japanese fluently, serves as translator, making sure that the parents and school officials understand each other's expectations. Later in the day, she visits a married couple at their home. The wife is from japan; the husband is an American of European heritage. Recently married, they quickly discovered that each had behavioral quirks that the other could not tolerate. Over time, the social worker helps the couple to identify the issues that are troubling them and to understand the ethnic or cultural bases for their problems. Back at the office, the social worker checks her calendar and notes that the regular group meeting at a nearby seniors' residence is to take place in a few days' time. These meetings allow group members to exchange views on a number of topics in an informal, friendly setting. Many discussions focus on issues associated with aging, and allow participants to voice their concerns before a sympathetic and supportive audience. Helping people bridge the gaps caused by differences in language, custom, or age that separate them from others. This is how the JASC strengthens the fabric of the community today. CONNECTING WITH OUR HEALTH A visitor who enters the JASC building might find himself or herself swept along with a crowd of people who have come to take advantage of low-cost diagnostic tests. Twice a year, the JASC organizes Health Screening events that allow partici­pants to monitor their cholesterol levels, as well as other disease indicators. Results, together with general advice from a physician, are mailed directly to the participants. Once a year, seniors can come to the JASC for free flu and pneumonia shots from the Chicago Department on Aging and the Chicago Department of Public Health. And on weekdays throughout the year, the JASC and the Chicago Department on Aging offer healthful, low-cost lunches through the Golden Diners program. The opportunity to take meals in the company of friends is an extra benefit. A visit to the JASC can also demand quiet attention. Driver's education courses developed by the American Association of Retired Persons are offered in both English and Japanese. Also offered in either language is a review of the State of Illinois Rules of the Road. Tai chi classes, with ongoing sessions taught at three different levels, focus the quiet inward. Students old and young gather to perform graceful, flowing motions together, gaining strength, flexibility, and serenity. Helping people maintain optimal health of the body, mind, or spirit ... or all three. This is how the JASC strengthens the fabric of the community today. CONNECTING WITH OUR ROOTS A visit to the JASC can open a door to the past. A high school student may call the JASC's Legacy Center archives and library to do research for a history project on World War 11 internment camps. A researcher may search the holdings for material documenting the eastward migration of Japanese Americans who had lived in a certain region of California. A family may contact the archivist, offering to donate to the JASC collection a number of wartime diaries and letters written by their lssei grandfather. The door also may open to reveal an opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese art or craft. Classes in ikebana and sumi-e-flower-arranging and ink-and-brush painting-are offered on a regular basis, as are classes in origami, or paper­ folding. Food, of course, is the strongest and most accessible means to achieve a cultural connection. Japanese cooking classes give students a chance to focus on a specific tech­ nique-such as sushi-making-or a traditional menu-such as the New Year's table. Others may prefer to establish their own cultural connections on a one-on-one basis. In Japanese language classes they can learn conversational and reading basics in an informal, friendly setting. Helping people gain an understanding of Japanese Americans and their historical and cultural roots. This is how the JASC strengthens the fabric of the community today. This is how the JASC works each and every day. From the President Dear Friends: It's amazing how quickly things can change. At the start of the new Millennium the world was filled with the hope of a new era. We marveled at the accomplishments and discoveries mankind had made over the centuries and looked forward to a future where the possibilities seemed endless. Here at the JASC we shared the same optimism. To better serve our community, we planned exciting new programs targeting our multi-generational community. We even talked about a substantial building renovation that would turn our Clark Street location into a true community center. Unfortunately, that rosy future was short-lived. With the horrific terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, we all suddenly realized how fragile and vulnerable tomorrow is. Today we are at war and in the middle of a dismal economy. The future is uncertain and I know how hard it is to think beyond the health and safety of your immediate family. However, I am asking you to do just that. Now, more than ever, we need to reach out to each other. The record amount of charitable giving to the families of those lost on 9/11 was wonderful to see. But the JASC needs your help, too. The slow down in the economy has severely impacted our financial resources on many fronts. Corporate sponsorships are substantially decreased as companies struggle to reduce their costs. The State and Federal budget deficits have government reducing their payments to us, and lower interest rates have reduced the amount of income we earn from our investments. Even the United Way, one of our traditional sources for our social service funding, has had to cut back on their allocation to us. All of this results in an uncertain financial future for the JASC. However, in spite of the gloom and doom we have hope. Hope because there are people like you who realize the difference one person can make. Hope because there are people like you who understand the importance of the JASC and its place in our community. Hope because there are people like you who want to make sure the JASC will still be around for our children. The JASC shows the world the positive impact an ethnically diverse population can have on the strength and freedom of society. We're here making a positive difference in someone's life. We're here because the way to combat hate and bigotry is through education and awareness. We're here now and, with your help, we'll be here tomorrow. Lisa Sakai I . PRESIDENT From the Executive Director Dear Friends: It is hard to believe that I am coming to the end of my fifth year as Executive Director. Thinking back on why I decided to take the position, I know it had to do with the feeling that the JASC leadership, staff, and members were looking for a change and wanted to move the community forward. There has been a lot of change: upgraded electrical and computer systems; a new bus donated by the William T. Yamamoto family; a wheelchair-accessible van purchased to expand serv­ices; new classes; co-sponsorship of"Reminiscing in Swingtime" at the Museum of Contemporary Art with the Chicago Japanese American Historical Society and the Asian American Jazz Fest 2001. We had new initiatives such as the Nikkei Community Assessment, the Legacy Center, and the Asian American bone marrow donor drives. We have brought together diverse audiences through unique experiences such as Japanese storytelling events and Taiko workshops. We have expanded the diversity of who we are and whom we serve so that all are welcome to the JASC. We are interconnected with a larger community. We were privileged to participate in the first two national Nikkei confer­ences and to witness the unveiling of the National Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism. We worked in coalition with other Asian and non-Asian groups to educate ourselves and others to prevent hate crimes. With the rest of the nation, we mourned the tragedies of 9/11, and we felt proud that Americans of Japanese ancestry stood up for the civil rights of Muslims, Arab Americans, and others perceived as the enemy. Sometimes we initiated changes, sometimes changes were forced upon us. Through all of this, we have continued to move forward. From these "pieces of our quilt" we have created an interesting yet beautiful pattern. However, the poor economy has forced us to face one of our biggest challenges. Corporate and foundation partners are reducing their support. Interest revenue is at an all-time low. At the same time, all expenses have increased dramatically, from utilities to health insur­ance benefits. In response, we have tripled our fundraising; we have improved the building to attract many groups and organizations; we have preserved our endowment; and we squeeze every penny. Unfortunately, all of these measures will not be enough to address an ever-widening gap between revenue and the cost of providing services. There is hope. Our greatest assets are the people who care about the Nikkei community and the JASC. We have the hardest working and most creative staff who are also volunteers and donors, giving above and beyond what anyone could ask of them. We can meet this challenge as we have in the past, with the active participation of members, volunteers, board members, organizations, and corporations working positively together.

After the start of World War II, she and her family were evacuated first to the Tule Lake Relocation Center in California and then to the Minidoka Relocation Center in Idaho, where she married George Inouye. After their release from camp, the couple eventually settled in Chicago and raised their two daughters. Mrs. Inouye began to create quilts after she retired as a dressmaker. At first she used traditional American quilt patterns, but in time she found her own style, incorporating Japanese motifs into her works. Once a month from October through May, Mrs. Inouye leads meetings of the JASC's Quilting Club. She created the quilts that appear on the front cover and pages 2, 4, 6, and 8. Joyce Morimoto is a quilting student of Ritsuko Inouye. A Sansei, she grew up in Chicago and learned to sew from her mother. Like her teacher, Joyce draws inspiration from Japanese design motifs and works ethnic textiles into her quilt creations. Joyce is a member of the JASC Board of Directors and works as a children's museum and exhibit concept developer. She and her husband, Rick, have two children, Emiko and Kenji. Joyce created the quilt that appears on page 10. Black and white photo processing donated by Akai Photo Lab, Chicago, IL. 15 JASC Donations Corporate Members Diversey-Paulina Building Corp.

As the name suggests, the Japanese American Service Committee (JASC) once offered social services to an exclusively ethnic client base. Today, the JASC's social services are available to all, regardless of ethnic or cultural background. In addition, the JASC strives to raise awareness of and preserve its Japanese American heritage through the presentation of educational and cultural programming to the diverse community of the greater Chicagoland area. Service informed by more than 50 years of experience. This is what guides the JASC in its second half-century. Social Services ADULT DAY SERVICES Established in 1981ithe JASC's Adult Day Services is one of the oldest , senior day care programs in the City of Chicago. It serves a client population that includes persons of aliethnic backgrounds who have chronic disorders l such as Alzheimer 's disease, other dementia states, Parkinson's disease. It also serves people who are generally in good health, but who need a source of regular human contact. The program works to keep its elderly clients emotionally and socially r involved and to maintain theiiphysicaiand mentaistatus. The larger goa l l l r is to help seniors remain in theiiown homes and prevent or delay their placement in nursing homes. ((Serving a d i verse community Adult Day Services offers: i • engagii ng actiivities for clients • sociaizatii on opportunities •i light breakfast, full lunch, and afternoon snacki •ion-site nursing staffi •i daly transportation •i respite for caregiversi i li ii Many clients are referred to the JASC's Adult Day Services though the Illinois Department on Aging, Catholic Charties, or the Veterans ii Administration. Some come to the program on their own or their families' initiative. Those who need financial assistance participate under the auspices of the community care program. Many elderly people, even those who exhibit some degree of confusion, do not need to be institutionalized. Adult Day Services is an option that allows these people to remain at home, preserving their own feelings of security and their respective family units as well. e www.jasc-chicago.org HOME SUPPORT SERVICES As it has for the past 30 years, the JASC's Home Support Services offers physical assistance to older adults of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, enabling them to live independently and safely in their own homes. The JASC screens and trains its homemaker staff to provide culturally sensitive, supervised care and support for clients. The JASC's homemaker training is designed to meet the requirements of the State of Illinois. Housekeeping and related tasks, meal preparation, bathing and other personal care, shopping, and escort service are among the jobs that can be performed on a short-term or long-term basis. Homemakers are a source of social interaction and support for clients who are generally housebound. They are also a source of relief for time-strapped caregivers. with a tradition of excellence." The JASC's Home Support Services program serves low-income and private-pay clients who live in Northeast side of Chicago. In fact, the JASC is the only agency to have a contract with the Illinois Department on Aging to provide homemaker services to low-income Japanese and Japanese American clients. As an extension of its in-home focus, the Home Support Services program offers telephone check-ins with clients and with people who live outside of the service area. These calls are made on a periodic basis just to keep in touch, as well as when weather conditions are severe. Advancing age doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing independence. The JASC's Home Support Services gives seniors the help they need to live their lives as they wish. www.jasc-chicago.org e Social Services CASEWORK AND COUNSELING The JASC has maintained a Casework and Counseling Program ever since the agency's beginnings. Casework and Counseling helps people of all ages and backgrounds when the problems of their daily lives become overwhelming. The program's licensed clinical social worker speaks both Japanese and English fluently, and is able to assist with a range of issues, such as intergenerational relationships, financial matters, and health matters. All counseling sessions are completely confidential. In addition, the Casework and Counseling Program can link people with appropriate resources, such as hospitals, schools, legal services, and human services. It can provide information and resources for the support of elders and their families in the community. And it can be a source of advocacy for clients who are in long-term-care facilities, a service that is becoming increasingly necessary as the community ages. "Serving a diverse community Japanese people living in the United States often experience cross-cultural and adjustment problems. If left unaddressed, such problems may lead to serious secondary problems. In addition to working with a client on a one-on-one basis in counseling sessions, the program's social worker also can act as an advocate in situations in which the client cannot express himself or herself adequately in English. Even when language is not part of a problem, cultural attitudes may be. In such cases and others, the JASC's Casework and Counseling Program can help clients achieve stability in their lives. G www.jasc-chicago.org WELLNESS PROGRAMS With an ever-developing menu of workshops and other events, the JASC seeks to provide community members with the tools to help them stay in good health and in touch with topics of interest in the world around them. The JASC's twice-yearly health screening events bring physicians and nurses on site to check blood pressure, oversee blood screening tests, and give advice on nutrition and other health-and fitness-related topics. Osteoporosis screening is offered periodically, as are bone marrow donor drives. Other enjoyable approaches to fitness can be found in the JASC's classes in Tai Chi exercises and taiko drumming, and in its Japanese folk dancing group. with a tradition of excellence. n To help senior citizens safeguard against potentially serious illness, the JASC serves as the site each fall for free flu and pneumonia shots under the auspices of the Chicago Department on Aging and the Chicago Department of Public Health. Throughout the year, the JASC and the Chicago Department on Aging offer the Golden Diners program, serving healthful, low-cost lunches every Monday through Friday. To feed the mind, the JASC presents educational workshops on such topics as Medicare and other health insurance, financial and estate planning, and long-term care. It also offers-in both English-and Japanese-language sessions-driver's education courses developed by the American Association of Retired Persons. Wellness involves more than the prevention of illness. The JASC promotes wellness with a comprehensive mix of programs and events designed to benefit body and spirit. www.jasc-chicago.org G CoITimunity Programs {{Serving LEGACY CENTER (ARCHIVES AND LIBRARY) The JASC Legacy Center appraises, collects, organizes, describes, preserves, and makes available for reference and research information resources from the Japanese American community in the six-county Chicago area. It seeks all types of material-in English or Japanese-that document the Japanese American experience in Chicago and elsewhere from the earliest days to today. The Legacy Center houses the JASC archives and serves as a community repository for records and information resources about Japanese Amercans and Asian Americans. Personal papers donated by local iafamilies-including diaries, photographs, sketchbooks, scrapbooks, letters, legaadocuments, and other artifacts-form a significant anda l expanding part of the collection. i a dverse community The JASC Library contans approximately 2,000 titles on Japanese and iaJapanese American history, cualture, polaitics, arts, and literature. One of the specialties of the collection is the topic of Japanese American history in the Unaited States, which comprises many titles on Japanese American veterans, evacuation and internment, resettlement, and the redress movement. Of particular interest in this segment of the collection are such one-time publications as speeches, articles, papers, theses, and dissertations on locaaand nationaaaspects of Japanese American history. l l r The Legacy Centeaseeks to preserve and promote communaity heritage and common understanding of the Japanese American experience as an integraapart of American history. Reference services for the collections l are provided, and selected materials are available on loan. The Legacy Center can assist waith referrals to other reposaitories or to individual r community members. Collections are open foause by appointment. Alapeople are welcome. l G www.jasc-chicago.org CULTURAL & COMMUNITY AFFAIRS Preservation of cultural heritage, according to those who participated in the Nikkei Community Assessment (see page 12), is the number-one criti­ cal issue facing the community today. To that end, and to help promote that social and cultural heritage to the general population, the JASC offers classes on a range of traditional arts, such as: • sumi-e (Japanese ink-painting) • ikebana (Japanese flower-arranging) •origami (Japanese paper-folding) •Japanese language • Japanese cooking Other course offerings provide instruction in ceramics, taiko drumming, and tai chi exercises. Membership in minyo (Japanese folk-dancing) and quilt-making clubs is also available. with a tradition of excellence." "Heritage" connotes "family," and family activities have the added benefit of encouraging and facilitating the building of intergenerational and community relationships. Thus, family activities also form a regular part of the JASC's schedule. Tampopo-kai gives toddlers, preschoolers, and their parents a taste of Japanese language and culture through songs, stories, games, and crafts. The group meets once a week and participates in a number of community events as well. Kodama Matsuri (Children's Festival) is an annual event featuring games, prizes, crafts, activities, and entertainment. Storytelling sessions and taiko drumming workshops are among the other special family programs featured recently. Family life today is an intricate balancing act involving dual careers, multiple schedules, and a constant search for "together time." The JASC continues to seek out programs that allow grandparents, parents, and children to participate side-by-side-by-side. www.jasc-chicago.org G Con1n1unity Programs COMMUNITY FESTIVALS Working together and playing together. That's what gave the Japanese American community its solidarity in the early years, and that's what brings it together today. Some 250 volunteers help to put on the JASC's Holiday Delight bazaar every December. Unusual Japanese-themed gift items and handcrafted goods-ranging from jewelry to papercraft to clothing and accessories­are offered for sale, just in time for the end-of-year holidays. Even for non-shoppers, the Japanese food favorites and the opportunity to visit with old friends are a major attraction. On the other side of the seasonal spectrum is the JASC's Market Day in June. Many of the same volunteers help to put together this summertime offering of treats, treasures, and friendship. "Serving a diverse community Although not a festival, February's Day of Remembrance is, nevertheless, an occasion for members of the community to come together and remind themselves of lessons learned. Sponsored by the JASC, the Japanese American Citizens League Chicago Chapter, and the Chicago Japanese American Historical Society, the Day of Remembrance marks the signing of Executive Order 9066. This action, in turn, paved the way for the evacuation and internment of nearly 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry during World War II. Summertime, of course, is picnic time. In August, the JASC joins with other local organizations-including the Japanese American Citizens League, Tohkon Judo Academy, the Asian American Law Enforcement Association, and the Japan America Society of Chicago-for an old-fashioned community picnic in the park, featuring games, contests, and some rousing karaoke performances. 9 www.jasc-chicago.org The most special of the JASC's special events is the Fuji Festival & Silent Auction fundraising gala, which, with the help of some 75 volunteers, is held in September. Members and friends come together to enjoy a fine meal in an elegant setting, with an after-dinner entertainment or speaker of interest. The Silent Auction portion of the evening serves up an array of goods and services in a number of categories, including restaurants, travel, sporting events, jewelry, and one-of-a-kind treasures. Working together and playing together. We come together to remember who we were and to def ne who we are. i with a tradition of excellence. JJ www.jasc -chicago.o rg e Community Assessment NIKKEi COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Founded in 1946, the JASC has provided social services for more than 50 years. But as it entered its second half-century, the agency recognized that it required specific information about the community's current and future needs in order to direct its efforts more effectively. This type of information had not been collected from Japanese Americans in Chicago since 1978. With a two-year grant from the Retirement Research Foundation and a grant from BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois, the JASC launched the Chicago-area Nikkei Community Assessment (NCA). The Retirement Research Foundation awarded its grant as part of a program designed to improve the management and governance of nonprofit organizations serving the elderly in Lake, Cook, and DuPage counties. Data from Census 2000 provide a useful background for the NCA's findings. The Census showed that the total Japanese American population of the State of Illinois was t 27,702. Of that, more than 26% were multiracial and multicultural persons, who were classified as "Japanese l in combination with one or more other races and/or detailed Asian groups." For the sake of brevity, the NCA referred to this group as "Japanese Plus" (see Figure). In keeping with this "Japanese Plus" finding, NCA respondents placed a high value on programming that addresses multiracial topics (see Table). However, "Serving a diverse community Illinois Japanese Alone & Japanese+ by 10 Year Age Range Source: 2000 US Census 6000 .-----------------------------------, 0-9 10-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-99 100 & YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS OVER ¦ JAPANESE+ 2195 1780 1101 1007 808 191 89 112 34 5 1 ¦ JAPANESE ALONE 1956 1607 3009 4136 3525 2186 1510 1846 553 6 AGE RANGE G www.jasc-chicago.org preservation of cultural heritage was ranked the foremost issue of concern facing the Japanese American community today. Among the other conclusions of the NGA: • Social service organizations such as the JASG once served an exclusively ethnic client base. Now most funding agencies require nondiscrimination in accessibility to services, staffing, and governance. Providing services in a diverse context that includes Japanese cultural competency in the mix enables agencies to continue to serve Nikkei clients . • Nikkei seniors are underserved. Programs that support the cultural values of privacy and independence and can provide services across wider geographic and economic boundaries can decrease the service gap. • Organizations will need to have a conscious, direct and active approach to reach out and create connections to community members who are disengaged and less involved in formal groups. The most important product of the NGA is the realization that the Japanese American community can preserve its culture and sustain itself if both organizations and individual members make the commitment to work together. with a tradition of excellence.

I am speaking plainly and directly because it has come to my attention that there are those who do not think that the JASC is in financial difficulty. Contracts and renewing grants supply about half of the revenue that we need. That means that we need to raise at least $350,000 every year. Every way you contribute, makes a difference. Our current financial deficit has been a combination of reduced revenue from granting partners, such as United Way, lower interest income from reserves and endowment, delays in Illinois Department of Aging payments, and increased expenses, particularly from health care and pension costs. Also utilities have increased, making the cost of running and maintaining the facility greater. If the challenge was just on the revenue side or the expense side, we would have an easier time meeting it. Both together have been extremely difficult. The deficit was covered by cash reserves. Even so, we have worked very hard this year to both increase revenue and reduce expenses. We have been able to get some additional funds from BlueCross BlueShield which have helped tremendously with Adult Day Services, the Nikkei Community Assessment and the JASC web site. The Membership Drive was also more successful and our special memberships and additional donations also increased. We maintained our revenue from fundraisers which, in this economy, is a tremendous accomplishment. We have also worked to reduce expenses. We instituted a salary freeze, and when possible did not replace staff or replaced staff with fewer hours or lower rates. Volunteers who help with the mailing help reduce expenses as do other volunteers who give us their invaluable expertise in a variety of areas. We have met this challenge by thinking creatively, working together and working hard. We will continue to work to reduce the budget deficit through increased fundraising and reducing expenses. In spite of these challenges there have also been many accomplishments. We have increased the social service hours provided over last year and to more people. I don't think that it is too dramatic to say that there are times when we are the difference between life and death, and that we make a big difference in the quality of life. The Archives and Legacy Center received a large grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, and the role of the JASC during resettlement and the work of the project was published in their newsletter. You have also seen some low cost improvements that have made a big difference in the building. Through Larry Wiley, who donated his services as a contractor, we were able to paint the large warehouse room and make repairs to the inner walls and outer walls which stopped a flooding problem. The Nisei Post volunteered the time and materials to paint the nutrition room, and Tyler Shimomura for his Eagle Scout project painted the hallways and built four rolling dividers. This came just in time for us to install the Image of History, a Photographic Exhibit by Shigeta Ken Mazawa. Thanks to the Japanese Mutual Aid Society for funding this project and the hard work of Steve Mazawa, the photographer's son, we were able to have an exhibit that brought something to say to all generations and brought the community closer together. Togetherness is a quality that has helped the JASC to survive and serve for nearly 57 years. Togetherness can help us continue. Because of your investment in and commitment to the JASC over the years, you deserve to know the challenges we face. I hope that, as in the past, you will again be part of the solutions.

I especially like the personal attention, theway the counselors really listen to me." -M P, counseling client Counseling was one of the fundamental services offered by the JASC upon its founding in 1946, The JASC's licensed clinical social worker is fluent in both English and Japanese, and often advocates for clients where language or cultural barriers would otherwise keep them from receiving proper care, Counselors also provide direct relief, and help clients of all ages and ethnicities work out problems in their daily lives. This year they logged about 35-40 hours each month in support of their clients, Caption. Frances Chikahisa, MSW, L CSW, client MP, and JASC social work intern Jordan Feldman. "Keeping the body, mind and spirit fit makes much more sense than waiting to be sick before worrying about one's health." -Eric Mizuno, MD, volunteer physician at JASC health screenings As evidence of its belief in proactive service, JASC has developed a host of programs with the aim of providing community members with the tools to stay in good health. This past year, JASC served up about 9,100 Golden Diners senior lunches (in conjunction with the Chicago Department on Aging), 165 people were checked during its two health screenings, and 178 free flu shots (in conjunction with the Chicago Department of Public Health and Chicago Depart­ment on Aging) were administered, Scores more participated in wellness classes like Tai Chi exercises, taiko drumming and Japanese folk dancing.

The Old Chicago Neighborhood Remembenng Life 1n the I 940s The resettlement of thousands of Japanese Americans in Chicago during and after World War II holds a unique place in American and local history. The Legacy Center seeks to preserve and promote community heritage and common understanding of the Japanese American experience as an integral part of that history. During this year, the Legacy Center received donations of personal papers and items, photographs, publications and audio-taped oral histories from scores of donors. These words, voices and pictures (many of them unique and too fragile to be duplicated) are not just locked away. The Legacy Center archive and library are available for use to all, free of charge . The Legacy Center adds to our understanding of what it meant to be Japanese American during past trying times, but also points to what we must do to embody real humanity, here and today. FESTIVALS Sometimes it seems like the annual Community Picnic 1s a never-ending buffetl LarySchectman. Bill Yoshino and Some of the craft prOJects at Kodomo Matsuri seem to take a lot of effort and concentration_ "I love Holiday Delight. I see and talk to so many people I've met throughout my life, that it's like a big family reunion." -Dav1dTanimura, Yonse1 (fourth generation Japanese American) JASC member Every community loves festivals . They are a chance to gather and celebrate (and especially eat!). Hundreds of volunteers make possible (for their and other's enjoyment) the summer celebration of Market Day, our annual Fuji Festival and Silent Auction fundraiser, and the year-closing Holiday Delight and Kodomo Matsuri (Children's Festival) . JASC also partners with the Japanese American Citizens League of Chicago (JACL), Tohkon Judo Academy, Asian American Law Enforcement Association, and Japan America Society of Chicago to hold an old-fashioned Community Picnic, harkening back to the Resettlers' Picnic held by the Japanese American community during the 1950s and 1960s. Or in some instances, like the annual Day of Remem­brance, they give us a chance to not forget, so that mistakes of the past are not reborn in the future. This annual rite, sponsored by the JASC, JACL and the Chicago Japanese American Historical Society, marks the signing of Executive Order 9066, which in February 1942 paved the way for the evacuation and internment of those of Japanese ancestry during World War II. >grams: To Preserve & Share CLASSES Naomi Neg1 Tran (third from left) teaching contemporary Origami Japanese paper folding techniques. Assistant Emiko Koo1 and chef Kazuyoshi Narusawa demonstrate some maki­zushi techniques at one of the cooking classes "I love the classes! They are small enough not to be intimidating, and the teachers are very pa­tient. The classes bring me closer to understanding my heritage." -Stacey Tobias, JASC member JASC believes that Japanese American culture is best revered by teaching it, and spreading it around to be appreciated by people of all ethnicities and ages, Over 20 different classes were held at JASC during the year, involving 560 students and totaling 3,611 hours of instruction. Classes ranged from the artistic (like Sumi-e ink pointing and ceramics), to the physical (including women's judo and toi chi), to the musical (toiko drumming), to the sublime (lkebono flower arranging), Cooking (and eating) of traditional and neo-Joponese cuisine continues at JASC, with small class sizes facilitating on intimate and often hands-on approach to creating ethnic delectables, COMMUNITY CENTER Instructor Calvin Lee (foreground) and the Na Kupuna Ukulele Club of Chicago "We hold our ongoing rehearsals at JASC. In addition to the friendly atmosphere and central location, the JASC and staff always provide us with wonderful accommodations and a very flexible schedule." -Andrew Lee, Stir-Friday Nightl Asian-American sketch comedy group The JASC building continues to be a focal and gathering point for the community, Its convenient location, availability of parking, and congenial atmosphere make it home to many diverse organizations, These groups help keep the facility a vibrant and busy place almost every day and night, Those that consider the JASC home include: • Tompopo Club Japanese cultural program for preschoolers; • JASC Tsukoso Toiko Legacy Project; • Tohkon Judo Academy, the largest judo club east of California; • the Northside Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), who hold their Sunday services here; • Asian American Low Enforcement Association; • American Legion Chicago Nisei Post No, 1183; • Japanese Mutual Aid Society of Chicago; • No Kupuno Ukulele Club of Chicago; • New Horizons social club; • Stir-Fry Saturday Night!

President's Message Dear Friends, It is certainly a privilege to greet and present to you, along with the JASC Executive Director, Staff and Board of Directors, the Japanese American Service Committee 2003-2004 Annual Report. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Iwould like to express our sincere gratitude to you, the members, friends and, indeed, family of the JASC. Through your thoughtful and heartfelt support, we continue to strive to bring quality programs and services to the greater Chicagoland area. l Though we can never fully acknowledge the generosity and kindness of our JASC supporters, the Board would like to assure you that we are working hard to honor and respect your commitment to, and investment in, the agency. We understand the vital role the JASC plays both in offering quality social services to the community at large and in providing opportunities and outlets for exploring Japanese and Japanese American culture, heritage and identity. In order to maximize our ability to serve in these roles, the Board has taken a two-pronged approach of examining the agency internally, as well as reaching out externally. As our country's economy steadily improves, the Board has been evaluating and taking steps to strengthen our infrastructure and processes to ensure that we are fully able to take advan­tage of opportunities to maintain and expand our services and activities. At the same time, we are looking beyond our current boundaries, seeking and reaching out to new groups of people and individuals to introduce them to, and invite them to participate in, our cultural and community programs, as well as our social service programs. In this way, we hope to continue to understand and meet the needs of the community and to bring it together-now and for generations to come. Thank you very much for being a part of this vision and hope for the JASC. .-. Rebecca C. Nakamura President, JASC Board of Directors Executive Director's Message Dear Friends: It has been an extraordinary year. Our biggest challenge has been to "Bridge Cultures and Span Generations." As we have learned through the Nikkei Community Assessment (2003), our community is becoming increasingly diverse and dispersed. In its first year, our user-friendly and beautifully designed web site has helped us reach many more people. We have expanded our partnerships for cultural programming, participating in the US-Japan 150 Historical Retrospective, and with Silk Road Theatre Project for a benefit performance of "Tea." We have launched an exciting partnership with Tsukasa Daiko, a Taiko Dojo founded by Hide Yoshihashi. This is an opportunity for people of any age and heritage to connect with Japanese American culture through Taiko drumming. The Nisei were wise to be among the first to develop programs such as Adult Day Services, Counseling and Home Support i Services that help seniors live independently in their own homes as long as possible. Some Nisei are now benefiting from the supportive services and community programs that they developed for their lssei parents. However, the Nikkei Community l Assessment shows that only a small fraction of seniors in our community receive the social services they need. Therefore, it is important that we continue to provide the social services that fit the cultural values of our community over a wider geo­graphic area. We have reassessed and restructured our services looking at how seniors benefit from the services we provide. We have streamlined our procedures to make our programs more accessible and more effective. The information from the Community Assessment, combined with the quality of our programs and expanded partnerships, positions us well to have success developing new sources of revenue. Your support for the JASC has remained strong. Revenue increased from fundraising by 17%. Thanks to you and careful planning, our deficit has decreased significantly. While we have had to tap reserves to cover the deficit, we are closing the gap and anticipate greater financial stability in the coming year. With your help, our embrace can encircle all of our diversity. . r>\.. Si .. 0Jean M. Fujiu .

Applied .lchemy Great things can be accomplished by individuals work­ing in concert towards a common goal. In this way each individual's effort is magnified, more powerful in effect. That's how a non-profit agency like the Japanese American Service Committee is able to function, to provide services and programs that bridge cultures and span generations: each person's contribution of knowledge, time or money builds exponentially with the contributions of others to accomplish our shared goals. JASC's staff members excel at social alchemy. It is through these individuals that each member's, supporter's and funder's contribution is converted into a much-needed human service or cultural heritage program. In these pages, we applaud and thank them, and all those whose contributions make their work possible. 1 Social Services: Culturally Com ADULT DAY SERVICES 'Ybn?eo-/W . /o aafoo-ca/e aac/ .

One of the longest running adult day care programs in Chicagoland, JASC's serves seniors of diverse ethnicities and levels of health. Attendance in the program continued to rise in its 24th year the five JASC staff members and volunteers served an average of 43.3 seniors each month, and provided 39,321 hours of proactive care. Adult Day Services allow seniors to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes longer, helping to preserve their family structure, dignity and self-respect. It is one major facet of JASC's holistic and humanistic approach to wellness, embodied in its commitment to stabilize or improve the mental, physical, emotional and social well-being of its clients.

A big boost occurred this past year: after completing the arduous qualification process, JASC's counseling program was approved for Medicare and insurance billing reimbursement. JASC's social worker can offer her services in helping clients work out problems in their daily lives, without clients taking on any undue financial burden. JASC counselors help individuals of all ages and ethnicities, families and groups deal with grief, depression, substance abuse, family relationships and other mental, emotional and social health issues.

Looked at holistically, true health goes beyond the physical. Social, mental and emotional well-being all contribute to an individual's good health. Besides its main social service programs, JASC has developed other offerings aimed at providing community members with the tools to stay in good health. From Golden Diners senior lunches lin conjunction with the Chicago Department on Aging), two health screenings, driving safety instruction (with AARP), and Rules of the Road courses in Japanese and English to Tai Chi exercises, taiko drumming, judo for women and Japanese folk dancing, JASC is committed to increasing wellness opportunities for people of all ages and ethnicities.

This year wascertainlyonemarked by challenge, commitment and change for the JASC. We continued to be challenged with how to raise funds and lower expenses in the midst of astill-difficult economic climate. However, wewerealso committed to creating and staying aligned with ouroperating budget, to increasing revenuethrough fundraising and to developing abalanced budget for fiscal year 2006. And,as is often the casewhen you are committed to facing and overcoming challenges, you must implement change. And implement changewedid. Throughaneffort spearheaded by Executive Director Jean Fujiu and the JASC Staff, and supported by the Board's Finance Committee, the agency transferred overto upgraded accounting and financial record keeping processes. We have also put into motion the beginnings of new fund raising events, including the Fireflies in Flight Japanese dance and taiko per­formance, set for the beginning of fiscal year 2006, and afashion show fundraiser set for the spring/ summer of 2006. In addition, by making marketingatop priority in the coming year and beyond, we hope to introduce ourcurrent programming and services to newaudiences and also identify and explore newopportunities for growth and development. Another major change this year came in the form of ourapplication for United Way funding which Jean addresses in her message below Before ending this letter, Iwould like to add that all these positive changes arereflective of the extraordinary dedication of the JASC Staff, Executive Director and Board of Directors, who have demonstrated atremendoussenseof ownership and leadership at acritical time in the life of the agency. And with your support and partnership, Ihaveno doubt that together wewill continue building anagency that will grow with and meet the needs of the community today, tomorrow and for generations to come. Thank you very much. .-. Rebecca C. Nakamura President, JASC Board of Directors Executive Director's Message Dear Friends: This year, wewereable to realize the successof the last three years of extraordinary effort and hard work. Our long-time partner, United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, changed their funding process for the first time in over 30 years. What this meant for the JASC is that wehad to start overand re-apply for funding that wehad previously received automatically asapartner agency in good standing. We started with many hours of staff training onOutcome Measurement and Program Logic Models, anewway of capturing the resources and activities of oursocial services programsaswellasouroutcomesor how weexpectourprograms to benefit those participating in ourservices. Aswedeveloped these program logic models for oursocial services, wedetermined that our ultimate outcome, for seniors to live safe and healthy lives independently in their homes, wasthesamefor all of ourservices. This led us to develop asingle system for accessing services that would make it easier for anyone to participate in all the services that she or he would need. We also developed asingle system for measuring the benefit of ourservices, both for the individual aswellasfor the services asawhole. Combined with the information from our Nikkei Community Assessment, which enabled usto give a very specific description of our community's needs, wecould show how our newly integrated services would be the best to servethe community. While all of this work would itself benefit all of those who participate in ourprograms, it wassohighly regarded by United Way thatwewereoneof only sevenagencies who received their full request for funding, out of over 200 agencies that applied. We wereawarded $120,000 per year for the next three years for atotal of $360,000. This additional funding provides financial stability to oursocial services and to the JASC asanorganization. We will nowbe able to turn ourattention to our next big initiative: to present the best in Japanese American cultural and heritage programming in the Midwest. Thank you for all of your support during the challenges of these recent years, and with your continued support, weareguaranteed to succeed in the future. In deepest gratitude, . nt. Si.. 0Jean M.

Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data paper Text Any textual data included in the document Honoring the Past, Strengthening the Present, Envisioning the Future In August of 1946, the Chicago Resettlers Committee (CRC) was established to assist the federal War Relocation Authority in resettling the approximately 20,000 people of Japanese ancestry who had emigrated to Chicago from the war-time concentration camps. The CRC: • referred people to needed services such as banks, insurance and real estate agents, attorneys, dentists and doctors; • supplied them with information about stores, restaurants and hospitals; • helped find employment, housing and churches; • helped fight discrimination; • coordinated recreational activities; and • provided personal contacts. 1 The CRC filled the immediate needs of this very specifically defined population. In 1954, its original goals met, the organization changed its name to the Japanese American Service Committee UASC), reflecting the shift from resettlement to social services and community programs. As times changed and the original Japanese American emigres aged, the JASC continued to evolve in both small and substantial ways. Presently, the organization is poised for a sea change. This past year the staff and board of the JASC, while continuing to honor the past and strengthen the present, have spent hundreds of hours envisioning the organization's future. The strategic plan that was developed will help guide and shape the JASC so that it can remain vital, relevant and as targeted in its goals over the coming years as it was when the organization was conceived. 1 A Brief History of the JASC, Deborah Mieko King Bums, JASC Archivist, revised September 2001 JASC's longest-running program, Home Support Services, provides housekeeping, as well as much-needed social interaction and emotional support, to seniors to enable them to maintain their independent living (above). Supervisor Helen Nakayama and her homemakers served an average of 20 clients each month for a total of 4,733 hours of personal care, housekeeping, shopping, escort and related services this past year. While a majority of the clients are Japanese Americans, this service is available to all. MISSION In November of 2005 as staff and board members gathered at their first strategic planning meeting of the new fiscal year, it became obvious that there was a problem with the organization from the outset. Not one of those present felt comfortable moving forward under the then current Mission Statement. Since a mission statement defines why an organization exists, does what it does, and whom it serves, this was a glaring negative that had to be addressed before any thought of the organization's future could take place. Staff and board members talked about what needs the JASC had fulfilled in the past, what its capabilities were at present, and what community needs were going to be important in coming years. The idea of exactly how to define this "community" whose needs the organization was going to meet precipitated much discussion. The lssei and Nisei (immigrants from Japan and their American offspring), the original groups the JASC was founded to serve, have either passed or have reached a fairly advanced age. Their descendants are not centered in any one geographic community, but are dispersed across Chicagoland and the Midwest, and do not have the same barriers of language or culture barring them from participating fully in the larger community. Meeting facilitator Francis Wong, a San Francisco-based consultant to Asian American organizations and the founder of Asian lmprov aRts, handled the situation with aplomb and nimbly guided the disparate group to consensus on a new Mission Statement, which was adopted at the next board meeting. The current Mission Statement which guides JASC's actions now and into the immediate future, is: The mission of the JASC is to preserve and raise awareness of Japanese American culture and heritage, and promote the physical and spiritual well-being of Japanese Americans and the greater multicultural community in the Midwest. Vision Statement At the culmination of our first strategic planning meeting, attendees realized that the JASC would never be able to complete the strategic planning process without outside aid and expertise. Francis was commissioned to lead us through what turned out to be a seven-month process. At our next session in January 2006, staff and board members discussed the organization's vision. If a mission statement exemplifies why an organization exists, a vision statement presents the how; it is the bridge between an organization's mission and goals. After much discussion, attendees came to a consensus and established JASC's Vision Statement: The vision of the JASC is to promote and provide quality services and innovative programs, available to all, from a foundation of Japa­nese American culture. Core Values Everyone agreed that it was this last part-the "foundation of Japa­nese American Culture"-that helped make JASC's programs and services unique, and of interest or value even to nonjapanese Ameri­cans. But what were those cultural values that underlay JASC's programs and services? Francis led us on a self-discovery of what staff and board members felt to be the underpinnings of the organization. Over 40 traits were presented and discussed by the group, many of them best expressed in Japanese, such as Gamon (perseverance), Enryo (holding back, putting others first), and Shikata go nai (can't be helped, do the best you can no matter what). After much brain-storming, the multitude of traits was distilled down to the JASC Core Values Statement: JASC will meet its mission by: • committing to the highest standards of excellence and quality; • being socially responsible and acting ethically and with integrity; • honoring our heritage and legacy; • being creative, adaptable and innovative; • being respectful, thoughtful and welcoming to all. The Legacy Center (archives and library) is one of the most vital of JASC's programs. Its archives comprise a unique collection of photographs, documents and artifacts that help keep alive the legacy of the Japanese American experience during the war and their subsequent resettlement in Chicago. This past year Archivist Deborah Mieko Burns serviced 92 research and referral requests (including one from a high school student whose project won honors at the annual Chicago Metro History Fair), contributed material to two exhibits and one documentary film, and accepted 30 donations of new collection material, including this informal portrait, from the Estate of Mary and Albert Koga, taken at JASC's Senior Work Center, in 1970-1971(below). JASC's facility is a vital Community Center for the Asian American community. Besides being residence to Tampopo Club, a Japanese cultural program for preschoolers, Asian Improv aRts Midwest and JASC Tsukasa Taiko, the premier Japanese drumming group in the Midwest, Tohkon Judo, the third largest judo club in the U.S., and a score of other organizations, JASC is now home to the Fujima Ryu of Chicago classical dance troupe. With over 800 people of all ages and ethnicities using the facility each week, there is the chance for special interaction, such as this one between the Tampopo Club kids and the Adult Day Services seniors (below). JASC also hosted a variety of events programmed by other organizations, including a senior caregiver conference, an Asian American Studies teach-in, and a teachers' flea market. GOALS Central to the development of a strategic plan was the setting of long-term goals. These goals need to advance JASC's mission as they fulfill membership and community needs. To envision the JASC ten years in the future, the staff and board started with the newly drafted Mission Statement and findings from The Nikkei Community Assessment, 1999-2002, a survey conducted by the JASC, which showed the Japanese American community considered the following to be the most critical issues: • preserving cultural heritage; • developing Japanese American leadership; • developing programs that positively recognize and address the growing multiracial/multicultural community; • preserving the community through social gatherings. Attendees brought forward their ten-year goals, which were then discussed and arranged into categories. What evolved was a consensus on three ten-year goals. 1. Destination Center Create a destination center whose design showcases Japanese culture and tradition. The space will be flexible in use and be designed to accommodate a variety of programs and services. JASC staff and board members envisioned creating a place that would be a center of cultural gravity, not iust for Japanese Americans, but for all those in the greater community interested in Japanese American heritage and culture. Akin to some of the facilities built in Los Angeles and San Francisco, it would be the place people in the Midwest would think of, to go for things Japanese American. A variety of programs and services would be offered at the destination center. They would be developed for children, families, teens, young adults, adults and seniors. Like JASC's current facility, concurrent use by different groups would be fostered, so that preschoolers might see and interact with seniors, teens would have the chance to be mentored by adults-so that even with programming specifically targeted to various age or interest groups, it will be a place where the entire panoply of life is visible and interactive. 2. Outreach Reach out to the dispersed Japanese American population, offering broader services, partnering/ coordinating with other organizations to share resources and consolidate efforts. This includes the development of the infrastructure and capacity for the support of outreach programming. Acknowledging that the Nikkei (people of Japanese ancestry) community is widely dispersed, the JASC staff and board proposed bringing services and programs out to them. Staff, methods of transportation, facilities and a communications network would all need to be developed to support the outreach. Once satellite programs were developed in the Chicago metro area, expansion of services and programs into neighboring Midwestern states would be considered. 3. Leadership Provide leadership in a consensus-building, facilitating manner among all Japanese American community organizations, and look for commonality of purpose and opportunities for collaboration. With the passing of the long-standing leadership provided by the lssei and Nisei, Sansei and Yonsei are stepping up into leadership. They are faced with the challenges of a more dispersed and disconnected community. For the Japanese American community to survive, various independent groups will need to work together more collaboratively. JASC would like to use its resources to help open up communication and cooperation, to benefit the community at large. JASC would also collaborate with other organizations to develop programs where teens and young adults can be mentored and gain practical experience in leadership. JASC's Adult Doy Services is one of the oldest programs of its type in Chicago. During this, its 25th year, an average of 48.5 seniors per month were provided with an annual total of 40,493 hours of care. Supervisor Melba Ristow, R.N. and her staff help stabilize or improve the seniors' mental, physical, emotional and social well­being, allowing them to continue to live in the comfort of their own homes, and helping to preserve their family structure, dignity and self­respect JASC was awarded two United Way Venture Investment grants this year to make an assessment of the health access needs of isolated Nikkei seniors in the city and suburbs. This research will lead to the establishment of future outreach programs for the elderly. • ,:, , . ...-" -• ' " v.,., ..-· . , •,,r. ' -..... --' • ' JASC's Counseling program helps clients of all ages and ethnicities work out problems in their daily lives. This year, Supervisor Frances Chikahisa, M.S.W., L.C.S.W. and another counselor provided an average of 110 hours of service to clients, up 30% from last year. Additionally, JASC counseling services were approved for third party reimbursement. A new "Out of the House" program was started this year to provide seniors (who do not need the additional personal care provided by Adult Day Services) with a place to gather for a three-hour program of activities, twice a week. Although the program enrollment is small, it is enthu­siastically endorsed by the participants, who, among other activities, do group stretching and calisthenics twice a week, and get a chance to try their hands at Ikebana (flower arranging, below). SWOT ANALYSIS Before there could be any further planning done, the board and staff of JASC needed to take a hard look at where the organization stood at present. In addition to reviewing the information from the Nikkei Community Assessment, we performed a SWOT analysis. Each staff and board member was asked to evaluate the JASC against these internal (strengths and weaknesses) and external (opportunities and threats) measures. Then, Francis facilitated a session where the lists of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats were prioritized, and action items were proposed. Strengths To no one's surprise, the JASC staff was noted as the organiza­ tion's primary strength. Staff members are dedicated, experienced, often exceed expectations, and go beyond their job titles to support the organization. The next most important strength was deemed to be JASC's community presence, support and history. Events draw a broad community audience, there has been a strong core of volunteers and members, 60 years of service has made JASC notable in the non-profit community, and a majority of funding comes from community support. Another noted strength was JASC's property, which is wholly owned, and has increased tremendously in value, with its location in a resurgent neighborhood. Also making the list as assets were JASC's programs, the board, the growing collaborations with other organizations, and greater staff-boa rd cooperation. Weaknesses The building is considered unattractive. While necessary repairs and improvements to the building will be carried out, the JASC's long-term existence in the current facility will be assessed. Even though the board was noted as a minor strength (because board members had begun to show more commitment and energy), it was singled out as a major weakness because of the past inactivity of members and the lack of general agreement on direction. The seven months of strategic planning sessions did much to help correct these conditions and get board members to communicate with each other and invest more time and energy into JASC affairs. The lack of direction or leadership has been directly improved by the strategic planning process. JASC now does have a focus and direction, and staff and board members have a better understanding of their own and others' roles. Opportunities SWOT participants were able to identify some very real opportunities where JASC could develop and grow, congruent with its mission and ten-year goals. These often come from an acknowledgment of a weakness-that except for within the organization's membership or the non-profit community, most people in Chicagoland do not know about JASC and its offerings. Handled correctly, this represents a huge opportunity to market the organization's services and programs. It was also noted that many in the dispersed Nikkei community are unaware of the JASC's existence, so that marketing efforts to this already targeted group should prove fruitful. Another area of opportunity was in the identification of and collaboration with other groups. These could be groups that could be allied with JASC through ethnicity, cultural interests, historical interests, educational interests, art interests or geography. While this has been done for specific projects and programs that have been very successful, a systematic approach, in line with our goals and objectives, represents an excellent opportunity. Developing programming for young people, and increasing their participation in JASC were noted as excellent opportunities. Programming geared specifically to their tastes and interests would help the organization become more relevant to their lives. Since many of the younger Nikkei might be multiracial, it is imperative that JASC appeal to them on more than a strictly Japanese American basis. Threats Threats are external items to keep watch of on an organization's event horizon. Nothing can be done about them directly, but they may advance to a point where the JASC will need to adapt. The top threats participants identified were the changing Japanese American population, the loss of the voices of the lssei and Nisei who can directly express the importance and impact of the internment and resettlement experiences, and the continuing soft funding environment. Fuji Festival and Silent Auction continues to be JASC's largest fundraiser, this year raising $105,000 for the organization. Hundreds of hours of preparation go into holding festivals like Holiday Delight and Kodomo Matsuri (Children's Festival, above) and Fireflies in Flight. JASC also co-presented numerous events this year, including Day of Remembrance, which marks the signing of the order to remove persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast during World War II. 7 . • . . --• •-.....,.1,____.. _.-•--"'----'-----, -. ,0 • ,I, .... .

This year saw the introduction of Shamisen (lute) taught by Tatsu Aoki, artistic director of Asian Improv aRts Midwest, Shinobue (bamboo flute) taught by JASC Tsukasa Taiko instructor Jeff Chan, and Enka/Minyo (new dance/folk dance) taught by Sensei Fujima Shunojo. About 600 students of all ages and ethnicities received instruction at JASC in the Cooking, Ikebana, Japanese Language, Sumi-e (ink painting, below), Suminagashi (floating ink paper marbling), Origami (paper folding), Ceramics, and Taiko classes. OBJECTIVES After reviewing the suggested action items developed after the SWOT analysis, reviewing all the material from the strategic planning sessions that had come before, utilizing his expertise and experience in developing strategic plans for other Asian American organizations, Francis created year l , year 2 and year 3 objectives that would help JASC realize its ten-year goals.

Continue to expand membership, audience and client base for organization through third year of strategic marketing and communications initiative. 7. Implement feasibility study phase for capital development campaign. 8. Strategic Planning for 2009-2012 period. Summation JASC staff and board have committed to a strategic plan calling for major change and growth for the organization. They believe it presents a plausible path to a future where JASC is a relevant, vital community asset for Nikkei in the metropolitan area, as well as recognized source for presenting Japanese American culture and heritage to the Midwest community at large. JASC believes in the value of proactive health care. Over the years staff have developed a host of wellness programs to aid communi­ty members in staying in good health. Besides the bi-annual health screen­ings (above), free flu and pneumonia shots (in conjunction with the Chicago Department on Aging), and classes like Tai Chi exercises, Taiko, judo for women, and folk dancing, JASC also hosted presentations on the new Medicare Part D, an AARP driver safety course and a Rules of the Road review. i.n oo /iji:f:al@x, ..*a..9Q 1JO-/J,;.Gh --C.1&-/J,;.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear Friends, JASC can boast several significant successes at the close of fiscal year 2006 and like many major accomplishments, they are truly the culmination of unending effort and generosity from many people. We are particularly pleased to report financial results that point toward stronger operating results and a future of balanced budgets compared to the operating deficits we faced during the last several years. Several factors contribute towards the welcome financial stability for the organization. We thank the membership for your unwavering support and participation in our services, programs and activities. We also appreciate the continued strong support from foundations, corporations and our business partners. Special recognition is in order for the hard work, dedication, and guidance the JASC staff provides us throughout the year. There are also all those individual volunteers who help provide the human resources and energy to make our programs and activities succeed as they do. Finally, the board of directors and the Executive Director are also to be acknowledged for their efforts in working together to strengthen the agency's financial condition. Additionally, I want to especially thank the JASC staff and the board of directors for completing the most recent strategic plan for the agency, the results of which you can read about in detail throughout this year's annual report. As many of you know, this is not a simple or easy task; for an organization which is facing its 60th anniversary year, our future is dependent on critical thinking and thoughtful planning. In closing, I not only invite you to join us as we celebrate our 60th Anniversary year but as we work to expand our social services and art and cultural programs within the Japanese American and the greater multicultural community in the Midwest. Sincerely, Michael Takada EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE Dear Friends, This year began with envisioning the future and that inspired us to continue our hard work in overcoming the challenges of the economic downturn in the five years since the tragedy of September l l, 200 l . It was very exciting to see that in sharing our vision for JASC's future, we gained new foundation and corporate partners, our support increased from the community, and we expanded our programming in both Cultural Heritage and Senior Services. This resulted in a dramatic increase of support to over $1,000,000 in revenue. It is my pleasure and honor to thank all of you for making this year such a success! At the same time, we worked on strengthening the present so that our vision becomes a reality. • Our partnership with Asian lmprov aRts Midwest, led by Tatsu Aoki, has been tremendously beneficial; attracting students of all ages. Our visibility and reputation as a cultural center has greatly increased through the JASC Tsukasa Taiko performances with local, national and international media exposure where they generously highlight our partnership. • Support from foundations has increased, with over $300,000 for FY '07 to support the Health Access of Japanese American Elders Assessment, the 60th Anniversary events and capacity building projects. As we look to the next year, our 60th anniversary, we have been thinking about how to honor our past. It took extraordinary vision and courage to establish a Japanese American organization in the aftermath of the World War II Internment. The lssei and Nisei, after losing everything, invested themselves in rebuilding the community. A kanreki (60th birthday), means that we have come full circle. And a new beginning deserves a year-long commemoration that we look forward to celebrating together. We end the year honoring the past and looking to the future, stronger than ever. In deepest gratitude, r nt.5. Jean Fujiu __ ..._....__ _ JASC Donations These donations cover the time period of July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006.
