First and foremost there was the 45th An niversary of an organization which from a 0 small agency founded in 1946 with a budget of $9,000 has grown to where it stands today , serving a Japanese American community of many thousands. The observance of the an niversary was a happening and a celebration , highlighted by a ceremony at the Heiwa Ter race on Sunday, June 23. It featured a slide <:7'I <:7'I � show spanning the first 35 years of JASC existence, a script outlining the past 10 years of achievement and a multitude of awards to those who have helped JASC through the years. An overflow crowd attended the event. Then there was a dream which last year became a reality. During the past fiscal year we gained final approval from HUD to start the construction of the Keira Nursing Home. The approval came in the waning days of the fiscal year and construction of the facility, tival which honored earliest members of Mary Koga, one of the JASC and the artist/pho tographer whose contributions made last year 's Annual Report "The Quiet People " a resounding success. Then there was the Christmas Delight Sale the annual Market Day and others. , These activities help us to raise funds needed to provide services to our clients. We gained a new tenant in FY 1991. Search Developmental Center rented our former workshop space in the south end of our building. The organization plans to stay here until the end of this year . Our list of Japanese corporations which became members of JASC continued to grow , with 38 companies joining us this year as compared to 31 in the previous yea r. Their names are found elsewhere in this issue. There were other minor triumphs and achievements. It can be only concluded that FY 1991 was a good one for us. which has been in works for a decade, began in July. Our "Parish" or Community Nurse Pro happiness gram was started last year with the hiring of a community nurse in conjunction with the Swedish Covenant Hospital. The nurse works with the congregations of five Christian and Buddhist churches, as well as with other members of the Japanese American com munity. A number of special events also high lighted the year. These included the Fuji Fes- A 6 E B .SC D C o w O Celebration; B Co-Mistress of Ceremony Irene Kelly (left) looks d att end s the JASC 45th Anniversary erflo w cr v AS esid n ue C Pr as J from to Jame Hachiya C Among receiving awards many ent Art Morimitsu prese ts a plaq on ; s er rom ft h o Mo imit su f cel eb ra tion l Kumata, Mary Koga Ki Yoshimura and Betty Nakanishi D the Rut e w e , y ; at r , t he a the site from left to begin as FY 1991 ends Shown Ke iro Nur si ng Home site is about ready Con s ruction at t t . i r a ru Chairman Tom Nambu, JASC Presid en Art Morimitsu and Nursing Home Comm ttee is Ex ecutiv e Directo M sa t o nat h man h hica g pan Stevenson addresse E Adlai Societ C S America C Ja t of E air and or e is Illin me For i aj Te r y e s ; o . r th Fu j i F sti a l crowd; F Ma r y Koga the Honoree of the Yea r responds after receiving her award a t the Fuji Festival e v e A 7 The Japanese American Service Committee through the years has factored its programs to serve the changing needs of our client com munity. Presently, as the Issei population is fading fast, we are concentrating on services for the Niseis. Their health and what we can do to improve it is high on our agenda. While we are concerned with the needs of the Niseis we also have to look at the future and anticipate the role the Sanseis (third gen eration Japanese Americans) will play in our organization. We hope th!lt soon we will be able to provide some services to this gener ation, an possibly their children, the Yonsei (fourth generation Japanese Americans.) Ser vice in the areas of maintaining their cultural heritage and introducing their children to it,appear as possibilities for programs for the Sanseis and Yonseis. In fiscal 1991 we served our community with the following programs: Our ADULT DAY CARE program served on the average 22 clients per day, totaling 26,180 hours of service. Adult Day Care aims to keep the elderly out of institutions and offers activities in a group setting which help older adults to improve their physical and mental condition. Clients participate in a number of activities and special events, such as field trips, ceramics, exercise and hear speakers on various subjects. They also get a noon meal (a total of 5,200 served to the Adult Day Care clients during the last year) and have the opportunity to eat together with others. Social service and nursing staffs de velop individual plans for each client and monitor their progress. CASEWORK AND COUNSELING ser vices in the past fiscal year worked with 242 respect of the elderly clients, 179 of Japanese American ancestry. The total hours of service provided were 2741.75. This is a program which assists clients to achieve adequate psychological and social life. The counselor speaks Japanese and deals with questions involving financial and health issues as well as formulating fu ture plans for the elderly. HOME SUPPORT services involve cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, personal care, nutritional service and hygiene education to the elderly either at Heiwa Ter race, a senior citizen's residential center, or at other locations. This service has one aim -- to help the elderly live independently and avoid institutionalization. During the past year, the chore house keepers provided a total of 19,070 hours of service to 158 clients... 81 of them Japanese Americans. Fifty-six of the clients where Caucasians, five Black and 16 other Asians. GROUP SERVICES is a program which provides educational classes, mature driving, Tai Chi (oriental exercise), Minyo (folk music and dance), origami (paper folding), kami ningyo (paper doll construction) and Japanese language class. Special Japanese festivals are observed and presented as authentically as possible. Pro grams on health and education are presented by this division of JASC as well as well as city-sponsored nutrition and "Meals on Wheels" services to home-bound elderly. The nutrition program served 6,211 meals to 260 persons (excluding the Adult Day Care clients mentioned before), and provided duplicated group services to 1,026 persons, representing 16,841 hours. 8 ,..c).."_.,, �• :.•. ,.�,•�----•:t--.-~t..:. -,._�;,i,.._,,.s,J.-., ___,.·1,, .,c.,__�;._,-,,.b,. ,u.�- ,l ...... i'Joo.1..lr .,,,.,.,,,. �, ....,J'.i:.:..._ ... 1 ,.. 1 ,., �,,�,• •'.>: · r ;I • '�.. • ••� ·; l 1 B C A D E A The annual Market Day attracts people before the doors open; B A perennial Market Day hit is Chicken Teriyaki; C Adult Day Care has special events such as Mother's Day observance; D Health checkups are a regular feature at JASC; E Kite making is featured at Boy's Day celebration; F Wishes are hung on a bamboo tree for the Star Festival. u rJ:i < � ="" "" � affection - kindness 10 The Japanese American Service Committee gratefully acknowledges contributions received during the Fiscal Year July 1990 through June 30, 1991.

"" r.:i = future Welcome to the 45th Anniversary of the Japanese American Service Committee. We are glad to have you aboard to help us share our heartbreaks and accomplishments which occurred during the past year. Mostly triumphs we feel, and... it's been a splendid year, indeed! In this annual report, we will lead you through our eventful year and also share with you some of the philosophy which has been the basis of JASC for the past 45 years. We will present this in an unique way... through Japanese calligraphy representing such terms as legacy, honesty, integrity, health, hope, tradition, respect for the elderly and a number of others. We honestly feel that on the terms presented here the JASC was founded fourand-a-half decades ago and that these qualities have sustained us until today. And we hope that with these ideals uppermost in our mind we will serve Japanese Americans and other people who seek us for generations to come. As you thumb through this annual report you will share the beliefs of our president and executive director, view the highlights of the year, learn about the services we provide and browse through the names of a multitude of our supporters. We are hoping you will find your name among them Our credo for this anniversary year has been "Valiant footsteps of the past, crossing the thresholds of the future." We look toward the future with confidence and enthusiasm. � 3 rJ:J legacy 4 On Sunday, June 23, 1991, the Japanese Ameri can Service Committee (JASC) celebrated its 45th Anniversary at the Heiwa Terrace, a senior citi zen's apartment complex, built and sponsored by JA SC. This was a momentous occasion. It was 45 years ago that a dedicated group of Japanese old timers met with some of the leaders among former internees who had been released from internment centers where they had been held since 1942 by the United States government after the sta rt of World War II in the Pacific. These early leaders founded the organization then known as the Chicago Resettlers Committee to help the evacuees to find employment and living quarters in Chicago. A few of these leaders like Rev. Gyomay Kubose are still active in our community. Others who were among the founders are still involved with JASC in serving Japanese Americans, their alien parents and their offsprings, the Sansei and Yonsei. Our community is extremely fortunate that leaders like former JASC presidents Tom Teraji and Noboru Honda, as well as other long-time members such as Betty Nakanishi, Mary Koga, Dorothy Kaneko and others are still serving on either the Board or on the various committees of our agency. The lifeline of the agency has been all the volunteers who participate in so many of the agency's programs...Market Da y, Christmas Delight, Health Fair, Fuji Festival, Adult Day Care, Nutrition Program and many others. Our JASC Board of Directors has been the mainstay of so many of our programs along with the great support we have received from so many of our community organizations...Chicago Nisei Post 1183, New Horizons members, church groups, both Christian and Buddhist and from the Futabakai Japanese School PTA members. Our Long Range Planning Committee, chaired by Betty Nakanish, has focused on health care for our JASC members and other people in our com· munity as a priority item. With our highly suc cessful JASC-sponsored Heiwa Terrace Senior Housing Project having celebrated its 11th an· niversary this year, JASC after a 10-year cam· paign has finally started construction of our long awaited 180 bed JA SC Keiro Nursing Home. Looking ahead, the construction and operation of the Keiro Nursing home will be the greatest challenge of JASC in the next two years. More important, we have to raise $700, 000 to cover start-up costs for the home during its first two years of operation. The fund drive has already started and I can only hope that it will be as successful as our initial fund-raising campaign which resulted in approximately $1.3 million. This money was used to pay for the land and for the services of various consultants in the nursing home field. We look forward to the future with confidence and with a conviction to conquer the challenges which face us. Arthur T.

First and foremost there was the 45th An niversary of an organization which from a 0 small agency founded in 1946 with a budget of $9,000 has grown to where it stands today , serving a Japanese American community of many thousands. The observance of the an niversary was a happening and a celebration , highlighted by a ceremony at the Heiwa Ter race on Sunday, June 23. It featured a slide <:7'I <:7'I � show spanning the first 35 years of JASC existence, a script outlining the past 10 years of achievement and a multitude of awards to those who have helped JASC through the years. An overflow crowd attended the event. Then there was a dream which last year became a reality. During the past fiscal year we gained final approval from HUD to start the construction of the Keira Nursing Home. The approval came in the waning days of the fiscal year and construction of the facility, tival which honored earliest members of Mary Koga, one of the JASC and the artist/pho tographer whose contributions made last year 's Annual Report "The Quiet People " a resounding success. Then there was the Christmas Delight Sale the annual Market Day and others. , These activities help us to raise funds needed to provide services to our clients. We gained a new tenant in FY 1991. Search Developmental Center rented our former workshop space in the south end of our building. The organization plans to stay here until the end of this year . Our list of Japanese corporations which became members of JASC continued to grow , with 38 companies joining us this year as compared to 31 in the previous yea r. Their names are found elsewhere in this issue. There were other minor triumphs and achievements. It can be only concluded that FY 1991 was a good one for us. which has been in works for a decade, began in July. Our "Parish" or Community Nurse Pro happiness gram was started last year with the hiring of a community nurse in conjunction with the Swedish Covenant Hospital. The nurse works with the congregations of five Christian and Buddhist churches, as well as with other members of the Japanese American com munity. A number of special events also high lighted the year.

Presently, as the Issei population is fading fast, we are concentrating on services for the Niseis. Their health and what we can do to improve it is high on our agenda. While we are concerned with the needs of the Niseis we also have to look at the future and anticipate the role the Sanseis (third gen eration Japanese Americans) will play in our organization. We hope th!lt soon we will be able to provide some services to this gener ation, an possibly their children, the Yonsei (fourth generation Japanese Americans.) Ser vice in the areas of maintaining their cultural heritage and introducing their children to it,appear as possibilities for programs for the Sanseis and Yonseis. In fiscal 1991 we served our community with the following programs: Our ADULT DAY CARE program served on the average 22 clients per day, totaling 26,180 hours of service. Adult Day Care aims to keep the elderly out of institutions and offers activities in a group setting which help older adults to improve their physical and mental condition. Clients participate in a number of activities and special events, such as field trips, ceramics, exercise and hear speakers on various subjects. They also get a noon meal (a total of 5,200 served to the Adult Day Care clients during the last year) and have the opportunity to eat together with others. Social service and nursing staffs de velop individual plans for each client and monitor their progress. CASEWORK AND COUNSELING ser vices in the past fiscal year worked with 242 respect of the elderly clients, 179 of Japanese American ancestry. The total hours of service provided were 2741.75. This is a program which assists clients to achieve adequate psychological and social life. The counselor speaks Japanese and deals with questions involving financial and health issues as well as formulating fu ture plans for the elderly. HOME SUPPORT services involve cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, personal care, nutritional service and hygiene education to the elderly either at Heiwa Ter race, a senior citizen's residential center, or at other locations. This service has one aim -- to help the elderly live independently and avoid institutionalization. During the past year, the chore house keepers provided a total of 19,070 hours of service to 158 clients... 81 of them Japanese Americans. Fifty-six of the clients where Caucasians, five Black and 16 other Asians. GROUP SERVICES is a program which provides educational classes, mature driving, Tai Chi (oriental exercise), Minyo (folk music and dance), origami (paper folding), kami ningyo (paper doll construction) and Japanese language class. Special Japanese festivals are observed and presented as authentically as possible. Pro grams on health and education are presented by this division of JASC as well as well as city-sponsored nutrition and "Meals on Wheels" services to home-bound elderly. The nutrition program served 6,211 meals to 260 persons (excluding the Adult Day Care clients mentioned before), and provided duplicated group services to 1,026 persons, representing 16,841 hours. 8 ,..c).."_.,, �• :.•. ,.�,•�----•:t--.-~t..:. -,._�;,i,.._,,.s,J.-., ___,.·1,, .,c.,__�;._,-,,.b,. ,u.�- ,l ...... i'Joo.1..lr .,,,.,.,,,. �, ....,J'.i:.:..._ ... 1 ,.. 1 ,., �,,�,• •'.>: · r ;I • '�.. • ••� ·; l 1 B C A D E A The annual Market Day attracts people before the doors open; B A perennial Market Day hit is Chicken Teriyaki; C Adult Day Care has special events such as Mother's Day observance; D Health checkups are a regular feature at JASC; E Kite making is featured at Boy's Day celebration; F Wishes are hung on a bamboo tree for the Star Festival. u rJ:i < � ="" "" � affection - kindness 10 The Japanese American Service Committee gratefully acknowledges contributions received during the Fiscal Year July 1990 through June 30, 1991.

President's Message Front and Back Cover Photos are repro ductions of color photographs, taken by Dorothy Kaneko, of the mum/ that has adorned the outside north wall of the JASC for about 17 years. Painted by a group of students under the direction of an art instructor, the mural depicts the history of Japanese in America. As the Japanese American Service Committee cele brated its 40th anniversary in August, I could not help but reflect on how our agency got this far. It is truly remarkable to see the growth of the JASC to its present status from its modest beginning as the Chicago Resettlers Committee, created to aid the bewildered, nearly penni less Japanese evacuees who came to the Chicago area after their release from the ten internment centers. What is more impressive is that several of these com passionate people, who were in the forefront in developing the Chicago Resettlers Committee, are still serving our community for the welfare of our people. Harry Mayeda, our first president, still participates from time to time; Kohachiro Sugimoto, Resettlers founder and longtime publisher of the "Chicago Shimpo;' served as advisor to the JASC until his retirement from the Shimpo; the late Thomas Masuda, Resettlers' second president, served as our legal counselor until his untimely passing this year; Noboru Honda and Richard Yamada, Sr., both early presidents, and Thomas Teraji, my immedi ate predecessor, are still deeply involved with our agency in providing crucial leadership, especially to build, for our community, the desperately needed "Home for the Elderly.' The Japanese American Service Committee has been 2 fortunate that its staff members have been led by Masaru Nambu. His tremendous dedication and drive have estab lished the JASC as the leading Asian American social welfare agency in the country. I would be remiss unless I mentioned the great support we have received, through the years, from our communi ty's various organizations and their members. Many of our programs to serve our people, especially the elderly, have depended on the support of various volunteers. In recent years, these volunteers have also come from among the Japanese nationals. Much of this has been due to the influence and support of the Japanese consulate office and the consul general. Our community's umbrella organiza tion, the Japanese American Council, which also includes representation from the Japanese nationals, has been a key organization in providing community support for all organizations including the JASC. As president of the JASC board of directors, which is made up of volunteers, I wish to thank all the executive officers and members of the board, past and present, whose efforts have made our work so much easier. The members of our board reflect our community as much as possible. Many represent churches, organizations, and professions from our community. As we begin our organization's 41st year I respectfully urge your fullest support of the most difficult campaign in the history of our organization. Our six-year research for the building of our "Home for the Elderly" is now at its most crucial period. We have the moral support of our community leaders. We now need financial support to raise the necessary funds to build the nursing home, not only for our beloved Issei people but for the elderly Nisei as well. We hope and pray that within the next two years or so we will be able to dedicate our "Home for the Elderly.' Your unstinting financial support will make it possible. tivrt;::-7.�M� -Arthur T. Morimitsu 1985-86 President Board of Directors Executive Director's Report Forty years ago, it was a humble beginning for the Japanese American Service Committee. The agency was born out of the pressing needs of the Japanese American community, to meet the immediate urgent matters of housing and employment. However, the JASC continued to respond to the challenging and changing needs of the community it served, and during recent years the wide range of services have been expanded to include Asians and others in the community as beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the reputation of the JASC has reached beyond the Pacific Ocean, and the JASC has often hosted various visiting groups which were surveying services that are provided for the elderly in America. With completion of the renovation, the sheltered work shop has rapidly returned to normal operation. Now, the workshop is not only a pleasant, but also a safer and more functional facility to maintain and operate efficiently. The continuing shrinkage of federal funding has caused the JASC to restrain itself from responding to the increas ing needs of caring for the frail elderly. However, with generous contributions and support from our community, the JASC has been able to maintain the level of service as in the past without curtailment. The list of donors at the end of the annual report attests to the close relationships and continuing support which the JASC has been privi leged to enjoy from the Japanese American community. The JASC is also indebted to the many volunteers who have so willingly dedicated their time and talents in sup port of the programs. Nearly 200 volunteers-ranging from elderly Isseis to young Sanseis, from all walks of the community including Futaba School PTA and members of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce - have assisted in the programs each day. Plans to construct a nursing home have been proceeding. The JASC has selected the construction site at the south east corner of Pulaski Road and Foster Avenue, and the Nursing Home Committee has been actively involved with the consultants in planning the architectural design, applying for approval to the state government, and in the financial plans. When the proposed nursing home is completed the JASC will be able to provide truly compre hensive services for the elderly. As we reflect upon 40 years of service to the commu nity, we can all be proud of the accomplishments of the JASC and the way we have met many human needs and challenges with joint endeavor. -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 Development/Public Relations In the JASC's 40th anniversary year new inroads were made among heretofore untapped "outside" sources of funding support. The Development/Public Relations Department wit nessed increasing evidence that, as the JASC accepts the challenges to fulfill unmet human needs by providing programs and services that improve the quality of life for elderly and emotionally disabled among its own constitu ency and other larger segments of the Chicago population, additional sources of philanthropic support, who recog nize and appreciate its impact, are rallying to help the agency continue its good work. In FY 1986 Development efforts brought $51,370 to the JASC from 21 corporate, public, and family foundations. Of this, $15,100 was for general operating support; while $36,270 was designated for specific purposes such as Specialized Job Placement Service for Asian Older Work ers; Preventive Health Care Screening for Asian Elderly; 4 replacement of the kilns, pottery wheel, and ventilator in the arts and ceramics room; and support of the energy conservation and building renovation project (see "Corpo rate and Foundation Gifts" in listings section). In addition, friends of the JASC responded with more than $8,048 to the year-end Holiday Appeal, and with $7,295 (including $300 for the Nursing Home campaign) in response to the "Contributors Fund" solicitation enve lope which was enclosed with each newsletter. The Department assisted in developing promotional materials for the 40th anniversary celebration; prepared, distributed, and placed publicity for it in Chicago and West Coast newspapers; and arranged for "Japanese Amer ican Service Committee Week" proclamations by the Governor of Illinois and Mayor of Chicago. Social Services To meet the many needs of its clients, the JASC social service department provides a variety of programs and services. The staff of 26-which includes social workers, chore housekeepers, program coordinators, group work ers, day care helpers, teachers, nurses, drivers, an employ ment counselor, and aides-is assisted by more than 80 volunteers. Funding for the department comes from a variety of sources: United Way of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, Illinois Arts Council, Commu nity Care Programs of the Illinois Department On Aging, and foundations. Casework/Counseling. The program is staffed by expe rienced professional clinicians in the areas of assessment, counseling, and psychotherapy. It is designed primarily to assist individuals who are experiencing difficulty coping with the demands of everyday living to achieve adequate or healthy psychological and social adjustment. The pro gram, however, also includes services dealing with financial and health management, nutrition guidance, advocacy, emergencies, and immigration and naturalization. Assis tance is rendered through brief consultations or individual, family, or group counseling/psychotherapy. During the past year a total of 282 (259 Japanese and other Asian, 19 White, 4 Black) clients used the service. Chore Housekeeping. Many kinds of services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, grooming, personal care, nutrition guidance, and hygiene education-are offered in the home to assist older persons in the activities of daily living so that they may live in an independent manner. Volunteers are recruited to assist in escort service, and activities such as window washing and moving furniture. During the past year chore housekeepers served 95 individuals, which included 44 Isseis, 29 Niseis, and 22 others; 79 of these households were at Heiwa Terrace. Public agencies and individuals have recognized this service. Group Services. A wide range of educational and cultural programs are provided by the group services staff. There are classes in Japanese language, penji, minyo, kaminingyo, kimekomi, beads, ceramics, needlepoint, tai chi; cooking demonstrations and workshops; table games; movies; children's summer programs; mothers' play group, knitting, bread craft; and special Japanese cultural dis plays and observances. Aware of the growing number of Niseis who have attained or are approaching retirement age, the JASC has continued offering programs dealing with issues that confront Niseis. There have been in-depth sessions related to retirement, and health-related projects that included monthly blood pressure check-up, glaucoma screening, flu shots, health screening, and an all-day health fair. Some 12,825 meals were served to senior citizens in the nutrition site program. Volunteers delivered 3,194 meals to homebound seniors, 60 years of age and over. Atten dance at the various programs totaled 26,185, which included Isseis, Niseis, Sanseis, and others. Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care program pro motes the physical and mental well-being of older adults through a full range of coordinated services in a super vised group setting. Care is given to maintain a balance of 5 opportunities for socialization, activities, and rest. Clients enjoy a wide range of activities and special events, includ ing field trips, ceramics, exercise, games, speakers, and outings for lunch. The balanced noon meal and snack breaks provide needed nutrition and the social opportu nity to share food together. The social service and nursing staffs develop a joint care plan for each client and monitor clients on an ongoing basis. A special emphasis continues to be placed on serving Isseis in need of more opportunities to socialize and whose physical functioning is beginning to decline. It is felt that if Isseis receive a limited amount of help before they became totally dependent on their family, their rate of decline can be slowed. The weekly Tuesday program was developed to meet this need and has attracted several clients who come once every other week. Members of the Tuesday program are currently working with an artist as part of a project to create a ceramic mural in Lincoln Park. Their part of the mural will incorporate a tradi tional Japanese Family Crest. Working together with the client, family, and staff makes it possible for the older adults to remain in their homes at the highest functional level. The program served 73 clients; 5,994 units or days of service were provided, 5,038 of them to economically disadvantaged clients. Average attendance was 23 .6 clients. Job Placement. In 1984 the JASC initiated a Job Placement Service for Asian Older Workers (55 years or older) in contract with the City of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, funded by the Job Training Partnership Act. Based on the needs of the community the service was extended to the population that is 54 years or under. Last year the program staff screened 268 applicants to determine their employability, and placed a total of 76 persons in various positions. For the coming year the staff anticipates having to serve a larger segment of the unem ployed population. Information and Referral Service. Last year the JASC initiated an Information and Referral Service, based on requests from the community, for individuals who needed help in determining their rights, benefits, and services available; 222 people were served by the program staff and 601 referrals were made. 6 Workshop With renovation of the JASC building nearly finished including renovation of the bathrooms in the Sheltered Workshop, installation of special dividers to close off the dock area and hallway from the weather, and installation of rooftop air conditioning and heating units to improve comfort conditions for the elderly and emotionally disa bled in the program-the Workshop has significantly improved in completed work volume this past year. Several new and promising subcontract work assign ments from business and industry created more openings for workers 60 years of age or older. The Workshop keeps the Senior Citizens mentally and physically alert and active, provides them with a social outlet, prevents them from mental and physical depres sion and debilitation, and gives them a feeling of independence. This boosts their morale, gives them a feeling of contributing to society, gives them an incentive to live with dignity and self-respect, prevents them from being institutionalized by prolonging their mental and physical well-being, and helps reduce government cost by reducing their dependence on public welfare. For the Emotionally Disabled (referred by the Edgewater Uptown Community Mental Health Center and sheltered care homes), the Workshop provides an opportunity to establish motivation for work and work habit, boosts their confidence, increases their self-sufficiency, helps develop work skills that may qualify them for employ ment in the competitive job market, and helps get them back into a normal social life. The JASC also tries to find semi-skilled and unskilled full-time or part-time jobs for those who are able to work in the outside competitive job market. The Sheltered Workshop is not a self-sustaining opera tion. The JASC receives no governmental funding support for the elderly in the Workshop program; only for the emotionally disabled. So, in addition to income from subcontract work assignments, the Workshop budget is assisted by funds from other sources such as United Way of Chicago, corporate and foundation grants, community contributions, membership dues, program and service fees, and income from fund-raising events. Last year the Workshop provided work for a monthly average of 74 men and women who worked an average of 21 days per month, 5 hours per day, including paid vacation and holidays. The seniors comprised 55% of the workers: of these, 60% were Japanese, 32% Koreans, 7% Filipinos, 1 % Chinese. The remaining 45% were emotion ally disabled (former mental patients) participating in the rehabilitation program of the Workshop. The JASC is extremely gratified to see the change that occurs when individuals are given the opportunity to become more self-sufficient through the use of work as a therapeutic tool. Their self-esteem is enhanced and they can see visible rewards for their efforts when they receive their paychecks. More importantly, they begin to learn that 1hey are part of a team and each takes special pride in his/her contributions to the total effort they make. 7 In Appreciation The Japanese American Service Committee gratefully acknowledges contributions received during the Fiscal Year July 1, 1985 through June 30, 1986. The generosity and support of such gifts is appreciated by all who are served by this agency, and donors are listed in periodic JASC publications. 1 1986 Members of the JASC J The following persons and companies are contributing members.

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.

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.

r WHY NOT? You see things: and you say, "Why?" But I dream things that never were: and I say, "Why not?" The above sentiment by Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. has echoed through the Japanese American Service Committee for the past 47 years as the organization dreamed dreams, asked itself "Why not?" and translated the dreams into reality. The most magnificent of those dreams came to realization during the 1992-93 fiscal year when the Keiro Extended Care Center was completed. This was truly an event for the agency which started in 1946 and had served the Japanese American community with compassion and excellence since. The multi-million dollar nursing home on the northwest side of Chicago. today stands as a testimonial to the indomitable spirit of an organization. JASC. and its supporters the Japanese American community. The center is the culmination of a 12year dream by JASC and an answer to the question. "Why not?" Other activities at JASC continued as usual with excellence and commitment. A special feature in this Annual Report is 'The Faces of JASC" a photo essay of pictures taken by our Adult Day Care program participant Jerry Nishiura. Enjoy. Now the question arises ... We have accomplished so much. What is next? Mindful of its mission to find a new awareness through which the dynamics of the organization can be expressed to enrich the life in the Japanese American community, JASC is planning to offer new services as it moves along toward the next millennium. JASC in the past has committed itself to being an agency which serves the elderly. The next challenge is another dream which has to be turned into reality. We face the necessity to make the organization one that serves all generations ... provides services to all the community and strives to offer services of ethnic identity and cultural affiliation to the third and fourth generation of Japanese Americans, the Sanseis and Yonseis. And believing that nothing happens, unless first a dream. JASC once again confronts the question: "Why not?" PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE This will be my last message as president of the JASC Board of Directors. a position which I have held for the past 12 years. My successor. Calvin Manshio, will bring to the Board a most competent legal mind. He is the former president of the Asian American Bar Association and recently retired from the Governor's Utility Commission. Our community can be assured that the JASC will be in good hands. especially with several old and new Board members who have extensive community service background. One of our most dedicated members. Betty Nakanishi. who has been associated with our agency from its earliest days, will be moving to Florida. Betty and others who have served as volunteer members are to be congratulated for their years of dedicated service to our community. Our Keiro Extended Care Center is going to be one of the finest facility of its kind in the State of Illinois, according to many knowledgeable observers. Mary Grondin, the administrator. has assembled top-notch staff members to serve the residents of the nursing home. Our gratitude for opening the first Asian American nursing home in the entire Midwest area must go to the dedicated efforts of the JASC Executive Director Masaru Nambu who served as the nursing home Project Manager. Credit also is due to Nursing Home Committee Chairman Thomas Teraji and to the members of his committee. The JASC Board of Directors will 4 not be involved in the operation of the Center. but will direct policy making for the Keiro as well as other functions of the JASC. Much of the success of our nursing home fund raising campaign was due to the dedication and generosity of the people in our community, especially the members of JASC. Their willingness to donate more than $2 million to our fund drive. represents tremendous sacrifice for many of them. A number of families gave large donations and foremost was the donation from the Thomas Masuda family of $300.000. The late Thomas Masuda was a much admired leader of the Nikkei community for his dedicated support of JASC. The Fuji Festival this year will honor the Chicago American Legion Nisei Post 1183, a much deserved honor for this veterans· organization which has served the community very well. I have been involved with this group for many years and I am grateful that its devotion to our community. especiallly the lssei, will be recognized. I appreciated the support JASC received from so many community organizations. and I also wish to acknowledge the faithful support from my severest critic, my wife, Virginia. The past 12 years have had their ups and downs, but we have achieved many of the goals we set more than a decade ago. To our community and the many others that helped, go my appreciation and my thanks. Masaru Nambu JASC Executive Director EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT This year has gone fast without realizing that there were events which will be remembered for years to come, and will be providing steadfast financial means to continue seNices for the Japanese American community. The eyes of the entire Japanese American population here have been affixed on the Keiro Nursing Home since the construction began in July of 1991. It was not just curiosity why the people kept close obseNation of this project. It was the concern for the long-term care for the elderly in our community. More than 900 people attended the Open House and witnessed first hand how the Keiro Extended Care Center looked. The facility will be certainly the testimonial that the community is capable of accomplishing a monumental task when it puts minds and resources together to realize a dream. In the Center.the JASC is providing another legacy for the future generations, insuring that the age-old tradition of respect and care for the aged will be continued at the Keiro (Respect for Elderly) facility. What the JASC has achieved was only possible with the support of our community. The community has shared the JASC dreams and mission by participating as volunteers, by providing funding support and in many other ways to make our dreams possible. However. like other ethnic social seNice agencies. the JASC has experienced financial crisis and has not been able to do 5 what it wanted to do because of lack of funds. One of the problems has been that since its inception. JASC has never had the opportunity to create a reserve or an endowment fund for the organization. As we looked at the future. it became apparent that we have to secure better financial resources. Our efforts toward this goal began in 1980 and these were finally rewarded as JASC received a $1 million endowment from the Sasakawa Foundation of Japan. This gift will provide our agency with a much needed stable source of income as we turn our attention toward the future. We hope that the Sasakawa gift is only a basis on which to build and that other organizations and members of the community will respond to our endowment appeals. Our 47-year history reflects the ability of our organization to change. We emphasize that we are an ethnic agency and that we want to seNe the changing needs of our constituents. Up to the present, our financial limit ations have made it necessary that we concentrate on our most urgent concern ... the needs of the elderly. As we turn the dream of the Keiro into a day-to-day reality of providing long-term care seNices for the aged, we can again aim for new horizons. We are looking at serving the younger generations of Japanese Americans and developing programs for the Sanseis and Yonseis --our future. HIGH LIGHTS OF 1992 -1993 Without a question the highlight of the 1992-93 fiscal year was the completion of the Keiro Extended Care Center and the open house on April 24 which attracted more than 900 visitors. Construction of the multi-million dollar facility was started in July of 1991 and for more than a decade, which preceded the start of the construction, challenges and roadblocks were many. However, now, 12 years since the dream of building the first Japanese American nursing home in the Midwest was conceived, the project is finished. Those attending the Open House were excited about the state-of-the-art facility which will cater to 180 residents. On April 24, a steady stream of people presented themselves as early as 9 a.m. and toured the four-story building. They heard addresses by a number of dignitaries at noon and the tours continued until midafternoon. The Keiro Open House coincided with the visit to JASC by representatives of the Sasakawa Foundation of Japan which late in 1992 made a $1 million bequest to our organization. The bequest was the.culmination of a five-year effort by JASC President Art Morimitsu and Executive Director Maseru Nambu. Other events were additional highlights of the JASC year. The Fuji Festival held in early November, raised $43,300 in much needed revenue and honored the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Chicago. Entertainment was provided by "The Magic and Illusions of Higa," a sophisticated show presented by Bob Higa and his company. The annual Christmas Delight Sale saw record attendance and grossed more than $4,000 for JASC. In addition to bargains, the event featured "Kodomo Matsuri", Japanese Children's Festival with Taiko drums, Minyo dancing and a performance by illusionist Higa. The Market Day in June, another annual event, had an attendance of an estimated 1 ,000 persons who spent a total of $12,638 on arts and crafts items, baked goods, plants, china and at the rummage sale. The Group Services program started a set of new classes during the year which Kelro were well attended. Also by the end of this = fiscal year we witnessed the retirement of Art Morimitsu, who served JASC as presi dent for the last 12 years. Fortunately JASC can still avail itself of his services, since Art assumed the less demanding duties as chairman of JASC. We welcomed Calvin Manshio as the new president of our organization. In review it can be concluded that fiscal 1992-93 was a spectacular year for us ... a year during which a major dream was realized and accomplishments abounded. 6 Market Day Entertainer at Fuj Fest i Honoree at Fuj Fest i Boys Day at JASC Adult Day Care SERVICES WE OFFER OUR CLIENTS Since its beginning 47 years ago, the Japanese American Service Committee has formed its service programs to serve the changing needs of its client population ... the Japanese American community. In the past we served the lsseis, but there are only a few left today. We now focus on services for the Niseis, but we know that we have to look at the future and anticipate the role that will be played in our organization by the Sanseis (third generation) and the Yonseis (fourth generation) Japanese Americans. Services in the areas of maintaining the Sansei cultural heritage and introducing their children to it, loom of utmost importance to us. In retrospect, fiscal year 1992-93 has been a productive one for JASC. We served our community with the following programs: ADULT DAY CARE --This program served 67 clients during the last fiscal year, on the average 20 clients per day. It provided a total of 28,890 hours of service. It aims to keep the elderly out of institutions and offers activities in a group setting which help older adults to improve their physical and mental condition. Clients get a noon meal and social service and nursing staffs develop individual plans for each client and monitor their progress. CASEWORK AND COUNSELING --This service in the past fiscal year worked with 271 clients providing 2,516 hours of service. The counselor speaks Japanese and deals with questions involving financial and health issues as well as formulating future plans for the elderly. This service is welcomed by the elderly Japanese Americans since they cannot obtain counseling anywhere else because counselors in other agencies do not speak Japanese and usually do not understand the cultural background of those counseled. HOME SUPPORT SERVICES involve cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, personal care, nutritional service and hygiene education to the elderly either at Heiwa Terrace (a senior citizens residential center built and operated by JASC) or at other locations. During the past year the chore housekeepers provided a total of 19,101 hours of service to 152 clients. The chore housekeepers are mostly Japanese with whom the clients can identify. The service is especially appreciated by those who have been recently discharged from hospitals and are unable to fully take care of themselves. GROUP SERVICES is a program which provides educational classes, mature Yukata (kimono-making) Class presented by Group Services Entertainers at Adult Day Care Amlmono (crocheting) Activity at JASC driving. Minyo (folk music and dance). origami (paper folding). kaminingyo (paper doll construction) and other crafts. This program also provides Japanese language and ceramics classes. Special Japanese festivals are observed and presented as authentically as possible. Programs on health and education are presented by this division of JASC as well as city-sponsored nutrition and "Meals on Wheels" services to home-bound elderly. A total of 14.603 individuals were served through these programs last fiscal year. The importance of group services is in providing Japanese Americans with a feeling of ethnic identity and tradition. The service also includes a health maintenance program for the senior citizens in the community. PARISH NURSE PROGRAM completed its third year of operation as a joint venture with the Swedish Covenant Hospital. It was begun with health issues weighing heavily on the mind of the Japanese American community. The "parish nurse" works with the community in providing health education. health screening and personal counseling on health issues. In the last year. the "parish nurse" spent more than 200 hours in client related activities and was instrumental in helping to conduct the annual Health Fair which was attended by 79 JASC members. 1992-1993 MEMBERS OF THE JASC Abe, Mr. Shoji Abe.

L 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, .... . L -. 0<. o\ ,: ·-• Cf' -. .,. -." • JASC continues to upgrade the quality and depth of its Japanese cultural classes. 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. Year 1 During the 2006-2007 fiscal year, the JASC staff and board are \ i( committed to carrying out the following objectives: . 1.

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,;.

Japanese American Service Committee 1997-1998 Annual report WELCOME TO THE JASC connect thru history We all belong to one world although we are moving in different directions, exploring, discov ering, finding our own path. 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.

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.

Clark Street Chicago, Illinois 60640 telephone (773) 275-7212 fax (773) 275-0958 e-mail jasc@iols.net 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 non-Asian communities in Chicago and suburbs.
JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITTEE 1995-1996 Annual Report Artwork on the following pages was provided by JASC's Sumie for Kids class. We would like to thank the following students for their participation: Sarah Cooper Randall Ristow Ronald Ristow Ryan Ristow Robyn Umeki President's Message This was a year of major transition for the Japanese American Service Committee (JASC). In years past, little had changed for JASC in the day to day administration of the office. We pursued special projects and performed our social services. We had become complacent in our middle age. Along the way, we lost our link to the very community we served. Only one in twenty Japanese Americans in the metropolitan area was a JASC member and many sansei and yonsei did not know or appreciate what we did. Achieving our fiftieth anniversary during the fiscal year provided the opportunity to reflect upon the type of organization we were in 1945-1946 and the organization we had become in 1995-1996. In the beginning, the Japanese American community in Chicago was very closeknit, one engaged in its common welfare and aware of its differences from the larger society. Today, fifty years later, Americans of Japanese ancestry are widely assimilated, more affluent and less involved with each other. There is, however, still a need to preserve a sense of identity for ourselves and our children. To know where we come from can help us reach where we want to be. JASC is rooted in the past but committed to our future. During the fiscal year, several difficult decisions were made: the Board eliminated three staff positions resulting in cost savings and greater Board responsibility for public relations, programming and fiscal operations. We completed repairs on the roof, parking lot and HVAC system. We opened our doors to new organizations like Tohkon Judo Academy and Stir-Friday Night! and we continued to engage in joint activities with the Japanese American Citizens League (Intergenerational Dialogues and the community picnics). We provided support to the Sansei Yonsei Athletic Association basketball clinic and we introduced Chicago to the Sansei fashions of Kanojo. Not all our actions were viewed positively, but during the past fiscal year JASC repaid loans and funds borrowed during the construction and operation of the Keiro Extended Care Center. We continue to handle claims and liabilities stemming from our ownership of that facility and addressed anger from members of the community that reflected a loss of trust and made efforts to regain that valuable asset. I hope that as a result of our actions, corporate and individual membership increased. The former by ten percent and the latter by twenty percent. Having plugged the "leaks" and patched the "ship", JASC is poised to face the future. We stand proudly as five generations of Americans of Japanese ancestry in the Chicago area, each of which has had to rise above adverse circumstances to thrive. This is not unlike the concept in zen philosophy represented by the lotus. Our new logo combines tradition and history. The lotus reflects our beliefs; the five waves encircling the lotus represent the five generations who have always supported one another in providing service to the community. Our appreciation to Board Member Bob Kumaki for the logo and the motto "For our parents ... for our children". JASC will continue to strive to provide a resource for all of us into our next fifty years. Executive Director's Report What's going on at JASC? A person might know about JASC, but it's only after he or she actually spends some time here that a common response is, "Hey, it's busy ... I didn't know so many activities went on here!" What might you see if you visited JASC? •The dignified presence of 90-plus-yearold Adult Day Care seniors lifting arms and tapping feet to exercise music ...or excitedly mulling over what bingo prize to choose. •A group of noisy volunteers stuffing envelopes for a JASC mailing -who get even noisier when the executive director promises them a big raise. •A warm smell is coming from the ceramic kilns. •Graceful ladies in kimono are practicing minyo dancing. •Quiet concentration is evident in the Ikebana flower-arranging class. •The Golden Diners volunteers announce "Lunch time!" Today, the neighborhood lunch regulars are joined by a local church group. •An occasional shout can be heard from the judo area. •Tables are arranged for a New Horizons' meeting this evening. •Some board members are meeting in the conference room to explore possible child day care programs for JASC. •Another board member rushes in loaded down with bags of Japanese food ingredients for the cooking class this weekend. •Someone drops off a donation of Japanese art items. •Nisei Post members come to check on equipment for the barbecue pit. •Staff is busy making calls to coordinate community groups and churches who are volunteering to help with a JASC fund-raiser. Just like that, the day has zipped by! Besides the busy social service programs, the JASC building's activities show it to be a vibrant community center. Drop in to visit anytime! Dr. Sunnan Kubose Executive Director As an integral part of the Chicago mosaic, the JASC is a dedicated and hard-working social service provider. The JASC unifies the spirit of the Japanese American community to provide social and community services for all, without regard to religion, professional affiliation, generation, political attitude or geographic loc ation. More than just a social service agency, the exclusive special interest of the JASC is serving the social and cul tural ne e ds of the Ja panese Amer ican co mmuni ty. Celebrating the first fifty years, the JASC's new logo represents the link to the past and hope for the future. Generations of Japanese Americans can feel proud of their history as we look toward a bright tomorrow. 1995-96 JASC MEMBERS Eiji, Mr. George Hamada, Mr. & Mrs. George Horibe/Green, Asayo & Ito, Mr. & Mrs. George Eldridge, Ms. Marjorie E.

Support and Revenue: Public support $274,263.00 Governmental agencies support 225,065.00 Revenue 200,120.00 Total Revenue 699,448.00 Expenses: Program services 443,678.00 Support services 145,654.00 Total Expenses 589,332.00 Excess of Support and Revenue Over Expenses Before Other Items 110,116.00 Loss from Discontinued Operations (5,141.00) Excess of Support and Revenue Over Expenses $104,975.00 Adult Day Care This 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 social service and nursing staff develop individual plans for each participant and monitor their progress. Chore Services The chore homemaker services offers cleaning, shopping, laundry, and food preparation for the elderly-either at Heiwa Terrace, a senior citizens' residential unit, or at other locations. This service promotes independent living and provides practical assistance. The service can be ongoing or temporary such as when people have been recently discharged from hospitals and are unable to fully take care of themselves. Counseling and Case Work This service helps clients achieve optimal psy chological functioning and social adjustment. A bi-lingual counselor who speaks Japanese deals with questions involving financial and health issues as well as personal and family problems. This service is especially helpful to Japanese-speaking clients, since it is often difficult for them to obtain help in other agencies where counselors do not speak Japanese and usually do not understand the client's cultural background. Group Services This program offers cultural classes such as minyo (folk music and dancing), sumie (ink painting), calligraphy, ikebana (flower-arranging), the art of tea, origami (paper-folding), kaminingyo (paper doll construction), kimekomi ningyo (Japanese doll-making)15 and other crafts. Ceramics, Japanese language and Japanese cooking classes are also offered. Programs on health and education are presented by this division of JASC as well as citysponsored nutrition and "Volunteer Home Delivered Meals" services to the home-bound elderly. JASC's health screening blood tests and free flu shots are also part of the Group Services program. 1995-1996 Board of Directors Executive Committee PRESIDENT Calvin Manshio VICE PRESIDENTS Robert W.

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.

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.

Takaki Principal, Takaki, Close & Associates, Ltd. VP Membership Christopher T. l Japanese American Service Committee ANNUAL REPORT 2001-2002 A CHANGING FABRIC Founded in 1946, the Japanese American Service Committee (JASC) originally served the needs of the lssei and Nisei (the Japanese immigrants and their American-born children) who left World War II internment camps to start new lives in Chicago. 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.

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 .

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.

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.

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 .

Kubose FAX 312/275-0958 March 20, 1996 Dear Friends: Our 1994-1995 Annual Report "Creating New Circumstances" reflects JASC's agenda going into our fiftieth year of operation. "Creating New Circumstances" is the productof the JASC Board of Directors' self examination of our role in the Japanese American community. As a result of changes in the Japanese American community and the recent past focus of JASC, we feel somewhat unsure about the needs of our community and the challenges of operating as a community based social service provider in the next decade. Since our membership has always driven our direction, we surveyed our members to see what they thought about the JASC and where we should be going. The pages of "Creating New Circumstances" reflects various responses.The concerns of our members, as well as your continuingsupport will determine in what direction JASC's ultimate future lies. We apologize for the delay in distributing this Report,but urge you to let us know what we can do to create new circumstances and continue to provide services into the twenty first century. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your ideas for the future of JASC.

JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITTEE 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 comnzunication, 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 non-Asian communities in Chicago and suburbs. 1994-1995 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Executive Committee Board Members Executive Director President Kiyo Fujiu Masaru Nambu Calvin Manshio Roy Iwata Vice Presidents Robert W.

CREATING NEW CIRCUMSTANCES JASC began fiscal year 1994-1995 in July, 1994, with the near completion of the Keira Extended Care Center Project. By Purchase and Management Agreements, signed in June, 1994, actual control of the Keira facility passed to the Itex Corporation at the beginning of the fiscal year. Final sale closing and payment of most of the outstanding debt did not, however, occur until December, 1994. In August, 1994, the JASC Board met to review the state of the agency, our finances, our programs and our future. These initial long range planning meetings were followed with continuous discussions on how the agency could manage the "new circumstances" we faced and confront the many perceived unanswered questions relating to the Keiro project. In February, 1995, the Board reviewed the issues surrounding Keiro and our future. Certain conclusions were reached and others were left unresolved. In April, 1995, a draft reflecting initial conclusions was circulated among the Board members. Further comments led to revisions by the Board and, in June, 1995, our conclusions on the Keiro project and our current circumstances were provided in a written report, "Rethinking the JASC" at our annual meeting. An overall recommendation and list of objectives are included in this Annual Report. Copies of the full report are available from the JASC office with the payment of ten dollars to cover copying costs and mailing charges. During the fiscal year the leadership of third generation Sansei on the JASC Board came to the forefront. Bob Kumaki led the Board in creating a new circumstance for our annual fundraiser. Through his efforts the band, Hiroshima, came to Chicago and performed at Fuji Festival. JASC Board members Nancy Yamamoto-Yoshida, Sandra R. Otaka, Don Sakamoto and Lori Yokoyama obtained corporate contributions for our fundraiser, and a new event, the silent auction, was introduced. Sandra Yamate and Brian Witkowski refocused Christmas Delight on our Yonsei and Gosei generations and their Nisei grandparents. Glenn Sugiyama used his contacts with Santa Claus to prove St. Nick was really Japanese and Sandra R. Otaka hosted a show for 3 all generations that included taiko drums, minyo dancing, a purple dinosaur and a sing along with Keith and Betty Uchima. The new year, 1995, began with a really new circumstance, the search for someone to succeed Rev. Masaru Nambu as JASC Executive Director. After almost thirty-two years of service, Rev. Nambu had decided to retire. Filling his "shoes" proved to be a monumental task, and the Board spent four months establishing criteria, soliciting candidates and reviewing resumes. In May, 1995, Rev. Sunnan Kubose was unanimously selected as Rev. Nambu's successor. To honor Rev. Nambu's many contributions to JASC, the Board established and funded through personal donations the Rev. Masaru Nambu Internship Program. Its purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to serve the community, while receiving a small stipend. Contributions from the community and JASC members are ongoing. During the Spring we discussed providing assistance to the Sansei Yonsei Athletic Association. Their efforts in organizing a basketball clinic at the Ravenswood Fellowship United Methodist Church and Bethany United Church of Christ were the type of new circumstances JASC sought to create. JASC Secretary Chieko Onoda solicited volunteer nurses for our Annual Health Fair and Dr. ltsuro Uchino, once again, rallied doctors and other specialists to staff our Health Fair. In June, 1995, May Nakano chaired JASC Market Day and introduced more Japanese food and a return to 1950s prices for our Chicken Teriyaki. The special price was made possible by a generous donation from the McDonald's Corporation of Tyson Chicken arranged by Board member Kathyrn Mlsna. JASC provided part of that donation to Ravenswood Fellowship United Methodist Church, Heiwa Terrace and the Buddhist Temple of Chicago. Review of our record-keeping system was spearheaded by Board member Roy Iwata. After reviewing hundreds of written documents, Roy created electronic lists for the Keiro Donors' Dedication/Memorial Plaque. Hopefully, the move to a more computerized office system will be beneficial to our membership in other ways, as well. Through the efforts of our Assistant Secretary Peggy C. Wallace, JASC became aware of Tohkon Judo Academy's search for a new facility. Following discussions on Tohkon's plans and a tour of the building, JASC Vice President Brian Witkowski developed plans for a tenant build-out in the northeast section of our Clark Street building. A license agreement was signed between JASC and Tohkon on June 12, 1995. Construction is creating a new circumstance for JASC, as well as a new partner in services to the community. The Program Committee, under Vice President Kiyo Yoshimura, organized more classes at different times on Japanese culture, crafts and cooking throughout the year. Kiyo and her committee continue to create new circumstances for JASC. One of these, a fashion extravagaza by the Sansei fashion house Kanojo, is planned for March, 1996. A review of how JASC is structured to provide services to the community and communicates with its members is currently under review. Much remains to be done, but the Board is working to create more "new circumstances" for JASC. As you review this year's annual report please note the contributions of our members. Without their support of our activities, programs and services, we could not operate. We begin FY 1995-1996 determined to create the "new circumstances" necessary to revitalize ourselves in our 50th year of service to the community. ' ' The JASC i-; dil importan t part of the Japanese American community. It di-;tre-;ses me to know tha t more people could be member-; and do not suppor the t JASC. The programs are needed and need to continue. It's a comfort to know there is an organization like the JASC to which we can count'' on for support when needed. Mr. Henry Fujiura has been a member of the JASC since its early days having settled in , Chicago after being inte rned in Arizona and discharged from military service in 1946. He was the owner of Supe rior Auto Service Inc. in Chicago and is , currently retired. 1994-1995** p Abe, Ms,.,Am, y Abe, Mr,. & Mrs. Kok:i Abe, Mr,. Shoj i Aberer, Mr,. & Mrs,.

Following compilation of donor lists by the JASC, a multi-panel design was chosen to list every donor. The central panel provides the dedication: These facilities were made possible through generous donations from the Japanese American community to the JASC. Through these contributions, JASC was able to transform a dream into working medical assistance facility in October, 1993. In addition, there is a wall plaque next to the Japanese Garden in the lobby that also pays tribute to all the donors. This plaque reads: In tribute to the unrelenting support and dedication of the Japanese community and many individuals who made significant contributions to helping realize the vision for Keiro Extended Care Center, this building is dedicated, ''The Keiro Pavilion." The planning and construction of the Keiro Extended Care Center, now called the Harmony Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, was accomplished through generous donations from members of the Japanese American Community. To all the friends of the Keiro Extended Care Center, the JASC is deeply grateful for your contributions and would like to thank each of you for your thoughtful and charitable support. 15 Amy Abe Buddhist Temple of Chicago Judo Mrs. Kiyoko Enkoji Mr. William Furuyama Helene Curtis, Inc.

,'1O R!<;SETTL::�:'.'.8 OOL'lNITTEE Director's Rop�rt - 1948 I INTRODUCTION' - Purposes� Functions The Chicago Resettlers Committee was formed i for the purpose of interpreting t e needs an proulems oft e Japanese resettlers and to help them adjust themselves to the community of Chicago. i:Jith the termination of the Chicago Office of the War Relocation Authority in the early part of 1946, a program was pla:rmed to meet the immediate problems facing these newcomers to the city. Since then, the Chicago Resettlers Committee has faithfully adhered to its major function of encouraging tho wider use, by the resettlers, of resources for welfare, education, rec reation and other services. In this regard, the Committee has worked very closely with the Council of Social Agencies, the Church Federation of Greater Chicago, the Catholic Youth Organization, local churches, settlement houses, and other community agencies. The Committee is also a participating member of the Community Fund. Specifically the services provided by the Chicago Resettlers Committee may be summarized as follows: T he Chicago Resettlers Committee 1. provides referral-i.nformation service for employment, housing, business opp0rtl.!nities, counseling and schools, 2. for v1elfare relief, assists resettlers on appL.cation o unemployment compensation, anu ld-age pension, 3. cooperates with existing social welfare agencies and business firms in establishing good sound working re lationships, 4. maintains a list of available houses, apartments, rooms, and domestic opportunities, 5. cultivates better understanding of our problems through public relation activities with private and public offi cials, and 6. stimulates the use of existing facilities for all-around recreational purposes. The following chart illust:t-ates the program conducted by this agency: -----------�/// SOC! /.\L PERSONAL�"o� // ·RECREATION •: d��g��t;'�NJ _'�?�?tc� zrn__ _ j' . .

An increasing number of the resettlers in Chicago are beginning to look to �his organization as a +iason agency through which social, economic and cultural needs can be met, which other wi$e a.re not accessible to them •. There are approximately 20,000 persons of Japanese descent in Chicago. It is highly significant that m ost of them are newcomers to this city. The 1940 United states census reveals that there were only 390 persons of Japan ese extraction then residing in Chicago. The majority of the population now consists of former evacuees of t he west coast who moved into thi� city tov,rards the end and after the war years. Approximately 7 ,,000 of th" re;;ettler s a.re Isseis (Japanese aliens,) many of v,hom look to an agency such as the Chicago Resettlers Committee for assistance in employment, housing and recreation. The remaining number of approximately 13 ,, 000 Niseis (American citizens) are encouraged by the Committee to be less dependent on Japanese agencies. In every way the Committee endeavo rs to give them the incentive to make use of the various local agencies and community centers -throughout the city in which they reside. Rapid as the Nisei adjustment is to the community life ,, they still need to be assisted in various ways by the Committee, particularly in regard to recreation. II EMPLOYMENT The employment possibilities of the Japanese Americans in the Chica go area are plentiful, as in the previous year; many are occupied in in dustries and factories as skilled und responsible workers. One important reason for the large population of Japanese-Americans in Chicago is due to the great number of job opportunities open to them. For example, dur ing the period of seven months, from March through September of this year the Resettlers Committee was n.hle '1.;0 in+,erview about 1,290 resettlers in various jobs ranging from professi.o:::1al work to manual labor, For the same period of last year (1947) there were approximately 700 persons helped. The graph below compares the number of persons interviewed each month be tween 1947 and 1948 from March through September, the period which well represents the trend of employment of the entire fiscal year of 1947. 200 : 100 MAR 0 1947 �i .APR ( Total - 704 Mar. - Sept.) - JUNE JULY ffifil 104g AUG SEPT ( Total 1292 Mar. - Sept.) Within a year, many Niseis have made rapid progress to higher and oot ter positions. Their sincerit'J and industry have wo n tiie respect and con fidence of their co-workers ar.d em�)�.oyer::. Many Niseis are enrolled in institutions of higher learning, and it is very likely that the majority of them will remain in Chicago after the oom �letion of their studies, because of numerous job opportunities in the city. The trend indicates that there will be a large proportion of specialists and well trained workers in the future. The prospect of advancement in business circles among the presently employed Ifiseis also appears very fa vorable. This group of resettlers can, by patient and proper guidance, be led to find jobs according to their abilities, and be on the look-out f,or chances of advancement in their respective fields. The need to be constantly assured, at the present stage, that it is their in!ividual ability which will find them positions for which they are qualified, regardless of their racial, religious or cultural back grounds. This constant encouragement is of vital necessity due to the impression which many of them have either consciously or subconsciously acquired that they are an unwanted minori�y. One way in which the Chi cago Resettlers Committee is undertaking this task of building confi dence in these young men and women is by encouraging them to take full ad vantage of the present favorable employment situation by establishing themse1 ves where they can. The approach used for finding jobs for the Issei is f�r different from the method employed for the Nisei. In dealing with the Issei we find that their great differences 1n age, and their language and cultural backgrollllil.ds must be considered. The bulk of the Issei, whose average age is about 65, are employed in factories, and are working for relatively lov1 wages. Consequently, many insist on working overtime to make ends meet. This type of problem needs to be ironed out with their respective employers, who would rather have the younger workers who have no language barriers and who will work for shorter h ours. Many Isseis attend weekly English classes held in the Chicago Resettlers Building, to overcome the language barrier. The classes are under the aus .pices of the Adult Education Department of the Board of Education of Chica go. This is one of the many ways in which the Committee attempts to help the older generation of the Japanese population. Before evacuation on the Yfest Coast many of these Isseis had held fine jobs and ovmed large properties. During the war years they lost not only their occupations, but many lost a greater part of t heir properties. In the unfamiliar environment of this large city, therefore, most of the Is seis a.re beginning from "scratch." They need constant guidance and sympa thy, and the Committee is staffed with wor leers who can understand their' positions and help them in a constructive way. III HOUSING The matter of adequately housing the resettlers still remains a di:f'fri oult problem. This, of course, is not a situation peculiar to the Japanese population only, since the housing shortage is acute throughout the nation. The concentration of the resettler population is still in four well def:imed areas of Chicago: (1) Lower Northside, (2) Far Northside, (3) Oakland-Ken wood, (4) Hyde Park-1Toodlawn. A small minority are scattered throughout the city and the suburban districts. The four areas of concentration just noted are marginal areas of racial ten sion. These sections are the least desirable for a long-range settlement, especially for the younger generation. The concentration in these areas is due greatly to their accessibility and the relatively low prices of the house&. By a more equitable distribution the assimilation of Japanese and Japan ese-American population into the whole community would be greatly speeded. To make this possible every means should be employed t o create a better un derstanding between the resettlers and the community populace at large • ... 4 - c:.ill" The Chicago Resettlers Committee is doing its utmost to help the resettlers who come to the office with housing problems. In most cases.thcbe,+-1-ha.t be done is t o provide the best quarters that are available under the existing circumstances. The table below compares the number of requests for housing accomoda tion from March through September, between 1947 and 1948. The housing trend during this period is typical of tLn.t of +he entire period of the 1947 fis cal year, f i 75 50 ·•.::::. 25 APR MAY 1947 n ,__. Total - 114 lTar. - Sept.

COUNSELIWG AHD REFERRAL For cowiseling and referral services the Chicago Resettlers Committee has been cooperating,as in pre<:im.,-:;-year:·,vd.th the Council of Social Agen cfo s, and the Community Refer:::.ilsiryi c� The number of counseling and referral services are necessarily small in number in relati on to other services rendered, because of the great a mount of time which must be spent on individual cases. At present, the Director assists six per sons a month who need old-age assistance. Approxi mately a half day must be spent on each case in interpretation alone. As with employment, the method of approach toward Nisei and the Kibei (Japanese-Americans who have spent their formative years in Japan and have returned to this country), differs in giving counseling and referral servicee Due considerations must be given to their various backgrounds. The Issei ave in writing problems letters, applying for unemploy and the Kibei who h ment compensation, old-age pensions and relief funds, evacuation claims, le gal assistance, and health and welfare problems in general, pr0sent an un usual number of problems which cannot be easily presented in a statistical - 5 - form, because of the many complicated processes involved in manners of handling them. We are often called upon to help in personal and family problems, and marital matters. Daily numerous phone calls are received about practically everything. V EDUCATION, SOCIAL-RECREATION There have been many positiv�i 11vidrw�'3s during the past year in the social-recreational life of N;-sei i ,·,hicli.. :,eem to indicate that resettlers have become better adjusted and havebecome more useful as citizens of Chi cago. There exists today at least eighty known groups, (exclusive of re ligious organizations,) organized for athletics, social, or special interest reasons, having over·l500 participants. The agency, either directly or in• directly, aided 69 groups in program building, locating and arranging for use of facilities, general consultation, and giving out of information. Nearly all Uisei organizations t oday are utilizing existing community faci lities. A few groups have been related to agencies, but a very few indivi duals are related to agency program itself. (See Recreation Report of 1948) Olivet Institute now serves the largest number of resettlers. All of the Nisei basketball league games and most of the Saturday night dances, sponsored by Girls' clubs or athletic teams, are held at Olivet. Th·e rec reation program of t he agency, aimed to meet the social needs of young adults and teen-agers, have been conducted largely in neighborhood agencies. One o f the objectives of t he Committee's recreation program in 1948 was to get more Niseis into a.ct:i. vities and to strengthen group security where it was needed. A record of 9,363 participants in the recreation and informal education program last year is a definite evidence of the agencyh effort to meet this goal. The Committee has encouraged more Niseis to join on-going community activities. A few projects were started in which certain agencies proved helpful; however, in 1949 a greater emphasis will be placed to further encourage more folks to become fuller participating member.s :im local community activities. Although there is less evidence of delinquency among the Nisei than in previous years there are social r�oblems among young adult and teen-age groups which require continuec: stu::ly ancl "G sponsibility by the Resettlers Conm1ittee. There is a lack of dE! :dral1le and "wholesome" social-recreation activities for young Niseis. Certain undesirable social patterns are being re-established at the sport dances. Many of the parents are refusing to allow their daughters to attend these affairs b_ecause of intoxication, use of abusive languages, and fights. The City-VTide Recreation Committee, through its Open House programs, have provided well-planned and well-dir.eoted recreation activities for the young adults. This feature will be continued in 1949. Because there is a lack of tra:i..re . d leaders among Niseis, the agen cy will sponsor a leadership t raining workshop in the spring. Nisei groups failed to take advantage of training courses offered by other community organizations. The Committee will attempt to secur.e the cooperation of other agencies to provide part-time workers or staff assistance to groups using their facilities. - 6 - The Issei are ancoura�ed to participat e in a variety of activities which have been orga:r..ized nl. t h the help of the Committee. such an event as the Community Picnic, held in September, at Forest Preserves, Chicago, with about 2,000 persons attendinf�a serve 1. the recreational needs of both Issei and Nisei. The success of tJ:-w picnic was due primarily to the close cooperation of the Issei and Nisei in organizing and carrying out this oom munity-wide event. The Kabuki Show (Japanese drama) held in November with about 450 attending also attracted the interest and encouraged participa tion of both the Issei and the Nisei.

CURTISS CANDY COMPANY 1101 Belmont Avenue Chicago 13; Illinois October 5, 1948 Mr$ Jack Yasutake Chicago Resettlers Corrmittee 1110 North La Salle street Chicago, Illinois Dear Mr. Yasutake: I have been very much interested in the problems and work which your organization has been doing since the Government abol ished the nar Relocation Office in this area. As a member of your advisory board and as an employment manaGer for my company, I have had a double reason for being pleased with the professional way in which your organization is me":l-:::ing the need of the alien and native born Japanese who are in t;hicur;o. ':J::i.�hin a couple of years I can foresee even the alien born Japanese who have not too good a command of English being able to go to the regular established community agencies with their problems. In the meantime your agency is the only one where they can find a sympathetic ear and a helpful hand in meet ing their problems with housing, �mployment, recreation, sickness, the English language classes, juvenile guidance, etc. I am particularly happy that you have not attempted to duplicate the services of other ongoing agencies, but have acted as a necessary intermediary. Speaking as an employer I will testify that Issei and Nisei workers have made an excellent contribution to our company. I learn from other personnel people in Chicago that they have had the same experience. I believe that other employment managers are anxious for more and more applicants from your group. I trust that the work of this next year will be one of great success for you and your staff. Yours very truiy, . . , . /�lmer L. Shirrell Employment Manager - 8 - VII THE C.R.C.

Both tb those organizations v1hich have helped this Committee in the initial days of its establishment, and to those which are helping us now, we pay our highest tribute, expressing our deepest apl;)reciation for their close cooperation with us. 1if0 are particularly appreciative of the usage of tho Chicago Resettlers Committee's office and the building, 1110 N. La Salle Street, Chicago, by the Catholic You�h Organization. The Rt. Rev. Bernard J. Sheil has been especially kind to us in providing this building with necessary furnishilm.gs and in giving continual encouragement to our work. As indicated in v�rious sections of this re port, the re are numerous social and religious organizations a nd business firms which have a ssisted us in the past and are helping us now by financial assistance a nd by the usa ge of their buildings and facilities for our educational and recreation al progress. iife truly feel the interest which the com munity of Chica go is showing us by its annual monetary contribution through the Community Fund. vie would particularly like tc Gxpress our e..ppr--o-oi...�i.- .. i: thQ e;rAA. +: advanta ge which we derive fro,:, be} rngin:· -�o the Council of Soci a l Agencies, and also by working closely v:ith thG Church Federation of Greater Chicago. Such church groups as th e Unitarian Service Committee and the Congregational National Committee have helped us get on our feet in the first years of our organiz a tion. It is important for the resettlers to be assured of the mora l and material assistances which they are receiving. The resettlers are made to feel tha t they can be integra ted into the community as a necessary p art of the general soci a l pattern of the whole community life. They are ma oo conscious of the social responsibilities they must fulfill as members of the community, an d the various groups interested in the welfare of the resettlers are encouraging them to do t heir utmost to carry our their re sponsibil i ties. rre a re taking the liberty to incorporate herewith, a comprehensive report prepared by the Chicago Congregation a l Union.

The c.c.u. voted an a llocation of $1,200.00 f.or 1946, with the under standing that contributions would also be secured from the National Congreg ational Com mittee on Christian Democr a cy, the Community Trust, etc., for a tot a l budget of 06,500. The work was carried on in 19 :1:6 with Ur. Kawa saki as Director a nd a p a rt time secretary. It was recognized that there was great need for a recreational pror;ram and facilities for Japanese Amerio.a ns,. and for capable leadership to direct this program. Application was made to · the Community Fund and an allocation for 1947 was granted. The Re settlers Conunittee was accepted into membership by the Council of Socia l Agencies in September, 1946. 1 In 1947 the work and budget Vl6re cons.:.derably expanded, with two new full time staff members: Mr. Abe Ha.giwa.ra beginning work in June as Recrea.tion a l Director for Nisei work and Mr. Jack Yasutake beginning work in July as Recreational Director for the Issei wo rk. The Com mittee secured the use of the c.Y.o. building a.t 1110 North La.Salle Street, first occupying only a pa.rt of the sp ace, and later h a ving the entire building rent free, but with the understanding that it would bear the maintenance expense. In May, 1948, Mr. Kawasaki was granted a leave of absence in order to undertake work with the Japan Relief Program under the American Friends Service Committee. In September the Board of the Re settlers Committee appointed Mr. Yasu take as Acting Executive Secretary; and we understand this is now a. perm a nent a ppointment. II. In Rega rd to the Budget 1.

The Expenditure budget has increased as the program was enlarged (See I) and also because of the need of operating a building. The salary expenditGre is somewhat different from the budget as originally planned, because of the changes made during the year as indicated in I. There ha.s also been an increase in the clerical salaries, two full time workers now being employed where formerly there was one office secretary. 1948 Original Budget Executive Director Clerical Salaries Recreation Director: Nisei Issei Part Time Help 1948 Pre sent Estimate 1949 Budget 3,600.00 2,195.00 2,400.00 3,095.00 3,600.00 4,620.00 3,000.00 3,000.00 3,112.50 2,285.79 325.57 11,218 ,85 3,soo._oq_ 11,795,00 - 765.00 12,285.00 Because of the nature of much of the work, Office a.nd Controllimg Expense is a larger proportion of the total budget than in the average institutional bud::;et.

Since then, the Chicago Resettlers Committee has faithfully adhered to its major function of encouraging tho wider use, by the resettlers, of resources for welfare, education, rec reation and other services. In this regard, the Committee has worked very closely with the Council of Social Agencies, the Church Federation of Greater Chicago, the Catholic Youth Organization, local churches, settlement houses, and other community agencies. The Committee is also a participating member of the Community Fund. Specifically the services provided by the Chicago Resettlers Committee may be summarized as follows: T he Chicago Resettlers Committee 1. provides referral-i.nformation service for employment, housing, business opp0rtl.!nities, counseling and schools, 2. for v1elfare relief, assists resettlers on appL.cation o unemployment compensation, anu ld-age pension, 3. cooperates with existing social welfare agencies and business firms in establishing good sound working re lationships, 4. maintains a list of available houses, apartments, rooms, and domestic opportunities, 5. cultivates better understanding of our problems through public relation activities with private and public offi cials, and 6. stimulates the use of existing facilities for all-around recreational purposes. The following chart illust:t-ates the program conducted by this agency: -----------�/// SOC! /.\L PERSONAL�"o� // ·RECREATION •: d��g��t;'�NJ _'�?�?tc� zrn__ _ j' . .

An increasing number of the resettlers in Chicago are beginning to look to �his organization as a +iason agency through which social, economic and cultural needs can be met, which other wi$e a.re not accessible to them •. There are approximately 20,000 persons of Japanese descent in Chicago. It is highly significant that m ost of them are newcomers to this city. The 1940 United states census reveals that there were only 390 persons of Japan ese extraction then residing in Chicago. The majority of the population now consists of former evacuees of t he west coast who moved into thi� city tov,rards the end and after the war years. Approximately 7 ,,000 of th" re;;ettler s a.re Isseis (Japanese aliens,) many of v,hom look to an agency such as the Chicago Resettlers Committee for assistance in employment, housing and recreation. The remaining number of approximately 13 ,, 000 Niseis (American citizens) are encouraged by the Committee to be less dependent on Japanese agencies. In every way the Committee endeavo rs to give them the incentive to make use of the various local agencies and community centers -throughout the city in which they reside. Rapid as the Nisei adjustment is to the community life ,, they still need to be assisted in various ways by the Committee, particularly in regard to recreation. II EMPLOYMENT The employment possibilities of the Japanese Americans in the Chica go area are plentiful, as in the previous year; many are occupied in in dustries and factories as skilled und responsible workers. One important reason for the large population of Japanese-Americans in Chicago is due to the great number of job opportunities open to them. For example, dur ing the period of seven months, from March through September of this year the Resettlers Committee was n.hle '1.;0 in+,erview about 1,290 resettlers in various jobs ranging from professi.o:::1al work to manual labor, For the same period of last year (1947) there were approximately 700 persons helped. The graph below compares the number of persons interviewed each month be tween 1947 and 1948 from March through September, the period which well represents the trend of employment of the entire fiscal year of 1947. 200 : 100 MAR 0 1947 �i .APR ( Total - 704 Mar. - Sept.) - JUNE JULY ffifil 104g AUG SEPT ( Total 1292 Mar. - Sept.) Within a year, many Niseis have made rapid progress to higher and oot ter positions. Their sincerit'J and industry have wo n tiie respect and con fidence of their co-workers ar.d em�)�.oyer::. Many Niseis are enrolled in institutions of higher learning, and it is very likely that the majority of them will remain in Chicago after the oom �letion of their studies, because of numerous job opportunities in the city. The trend indicates that there will be a large proportion of specialists and well trained workers in the future. The prospect of advancement in business circles among the presently employed Ifiseis also appears very fa vorable. This group of resettlers can, by patient and proper guidance, be led to find jobs according to their abilities, and be on the look-out f,or chances of advancement in their respective fields. The need to be constantly assured, at the present stage, that it is their in!ividual ability which will find them positions for which they are qualified, regardless of their racial, religious or cultural back grounds. This constant encouragement is of vital necessity due to the impression which many of them have either consciously or subconsciously acquired that they are an unwanted minori�y. One way in which the Chi cago Resettlers Committee is undertaking this task of building confi dence in these young men and women is by encouraging them to take full ad vantage of the present favorable employment situation by establishing themse1 ves where they can. The approach used for finding jobs for the Issei is f�r different from the method employed for the Nisei. In dealing with the Issei we find that their great differences 1n age, and their language and cultural backgrollllil.ds must be considered. The bulk of the Issei, whose average age is about 65, are employed in factories, and are working for relatively lov1 wages. Consequently, many insist on working overtime to make ends meet. This type of problem needs to be ironed out with their respective employers, who would rather have the younger workers who have no language barriers and who will work for shorter h ours. Many Isseis attend weekly English classes held in the Chicago Resettlers Building, to overcome the language barrier. The classes are under the aus .pices of the Adult Education Department of the Board of Education of Chica go. This is one of the many ways in which the Committee attempts to help the older generation of the Japanese population. Before evacuation on the Yfest Coast many of these Isseis had held fine jobs and ovmed large properties. During the war years they lost not only their occupations, but many lost a greater part of t heir properties. In the unfamiliar environment of this large city, therefore, most of the Is seis a.re beginning from "scratch." They need constant guidance and sympa thy, and the Committee is staffed with wor leers who can understand their' positions and help them in a constructive way. III HOUSING The matter of adequately housing the resettlers still remains a di:f'fri oult problem. This, of course, is not a situation peculiar to the Japanese population only, since the housing shortage is acute throughout the nation. The concentration of the resettler population is still in four well def:imed areas of Chicago: (1) Lower Northside, (2) Far Northside, (3) Oakland-Ken wood, (4) Hyde Park-1Toodlawn. A small minority are scattered throughout the city and the suburban districts. The four areas of concentration just noted are marginal areas of racial ten sion. These sections are the least desirable for a long-range settlement, especially for the younger generation. The concentration in these areas is due greatly to their accessibility and the relatively low prices of the house&. By a more equitable distribution the assimilation of Japanese and Japan ese-American population into the whole community would be greatly speeded. To make this possible every means should be employed t o create a better un derstanding between the resettlers and the community populace at large • ... 4 - c:.ill" The Chicago Resettlers Committee is doing its utmost to help the resettlers who come to the office with housing problems. In most cases.thcbe,+-1-ha.t be done is t o provide the best quarters that are available under the existing circumstances. The table below compares the number of requests for housing accomoda tion from March through September, between 1947 and 1948. The housing trend during this period is typical of tLn.t of +he entire period of the 1947 fis cal year, f i 75 50 ·•.::::. 25 APR MAY 1947 n ,__. Total - 114 lTar. - Sept.

COUNSELIWG AHD REFERRAL For cowiseling and referral services the Chicago Resettlers Committee has been cooperating,as in pre<:im.,-:;-year:·,vd.th the Council of Social Agen cfo s, and the Community Refer:::.ilsiryi c� The number of counseling and referral services are necessarily small in number in relati on to other services rendered, because of the great a mount of time which must be spent on individual cases. At present, the Director assists six per sons a month who need old-age assistance. Approxi mately a half day must be spent on each case in interpretation alone. As with employment, the method of approach toward Nisei and the Kibei (Japanese-Americans who have spent their formative years in Japan and have returned to this country), differs in giving counseling and referral servicee Due considerations must be given to their various backgrounds. The Issei ave in writing problems letters, applying for unemploy and the Kibei who h ment compensation, old-age pensions and relief funds, evacuation claims, le gal assistance, and health and welfare problems in general, pr0sent an un usual number of problems which cannot be easily presented in a statistical - 5 - form, because of the many complicated processes involved in manners of handling them. We are often called upon to help in personal and family problems, and marital matters. Daily numerous phone calls are received about practically everything. V EDUCATION, SOCIAL-RECREATION There have been many positiv�i 11vidrw�'3s during the past year in the social-recreational life of N;-sei i ,·,hicli.. :,eem to indicate that resettlers have become better adjusted and havebecome more useful as citizens of Chi cago. There exists today at least eighty known groups, (exclusive of re ligious organizations,) organized for athletics, social, or special interest reasons, having over·l500 participants. The agency, either directly or in• directly, aided 69 groups in program building, locating and arranging for use of facilities, general consultation, and giving out of information. Nearly all Uisei organizations t oday are utilizing existing community faci lities. A few groups have been related to agencies, but a very few indivi duals are related to agency program itself. (See Recreation Report of 1948) Olivet Institute now serves the largest number of resettlers. All of the Nisei basketball league games and most of the Saturday night dances, sponsored by Girls' clubs or athletic teams, are held at Olivet. Th·e rec reation program of t he agency, aimed to meet the social needs of young adults and teen-agers, have been conducted largely in neighborhood agencies. One o f the objectives of t he Committee's recreation program in 1948 was to get more Niseis into a.ct:i. vities and to strengthen group security where it was needed. A record of 9,363 participants in the recreation and informal education program last year is a definite evidence of the agencyh effort to meet this goal. The Committee has encouraged more Niseis to join on-going community activities. A few projects were started in which certain agencies proved helpful; however, in 1949 a greater emphasis will be placed to further encourage more folks to become fuller participating member.s :im local community activities. Although there is less evidence of delinquency among the Nisei than in previous years there are social r�oblems among young adult and teen-age groups which require continuec: stu::ly ancl "G sponsibility by the Resettlers Conm1ittee. There is a lack of dE! :dral1le and "wholesome" social-recreation activities for young Niseis. Certain undesirable social patterns are being re-established at the sport dances. Many of the parents are refusing to allow their daughters to attend these affairs b_ecause of intoxication, use of abusive languages, and fights. The City-VTide Recreation Committee, through its Open House programs, have provided well-planned and well-dir.eoted recreation activities for the young adults. This feature will be continued in 1949. Because there is a lack of tra:i..re . d leaders among Niseis, the agen cy will sponsor a leadership t raining workshop in the spring. Nisei groups failed to take advantage of training courses offered by other community organizations. The Committee will attempt to secur.e the cooperation of other agencies to provide part-time workers or staff assistance to groups using their facilities. - 6 - The Issei are ancoura�ed to participat e in a variety of activities which have been orga:r..ized nl. t h the help of the Committee. such an event as the Community Picnic, held in September, at Forest Preserves, Chicago, with about 2,000 persons attendinf�a serve 1. the recreational needs of both Issei and Nisei. The success of tJ:-w picnic was due primarily to the close cooperation of the Issei and Nisei in organizing and carrying out this oom munity-wide event. The Kabuki Show (Japanese drama) held in November with about 450 attending also attracted the interest and encouraged participa tion of both the Issei and the Nisei.

CURTISS CANDY COMPANY 1101 Belmont Avenue Chicago 13; Illinois October 5, 1948 Mr$ Jack Yasutake Chicago Resettlers Corrmittee 1110 North La Salle street Chicago, Illinois Dear Mr. Yasutake: I have been very much interested in the problems and work which your organization has been doing since the Government abol ished the nar Relocation Office in this area. As a member of your advisory board and as an employment manaGer for my company, I have had a double reason for being pleased with the professional way in which your organization is me":l-:::ing the need of the alien and native born Japanese who are in t;hicur;o. ':J::i.�hin a couple of years I can foresee even the alien born Japanese who have not too good a command of English being able to go to the regular established community agencies with their problems. In the meantime your agency is the only one where they can find a sympathetic ear and a helpful hand in meet ing their problems with housing, �mployment, recreation, sickness, the English language classes, juvenile guidance, etc. I am particularly happy that you have not attempted to duplicate the services of other ongoing agencies, but have acted as a necessary intermediary. Speaking as an employer I will testify that Issei and Nisei workers have made an excellent contribution to our company. I learn from other personnel people in Chicago that they have had the same experience. I believe that other employment managers are anxious for more and more applicants from your group. I trust that the work of this next year will be one of great success for you and your staff. Yours very truiy, . . , . /�lmer L. Shirrell Employment Manager - 8 - VII THE C.R.C.

Both tb those organizations v1hich have helped this Committee in the initial days of its establishment, and to those which are helping us now, we pay our highest tribute, expressing our deepest apl;)reciation for their close cooperation with us. 1if0 are particularly appreciative of the usage of tho Chicago Resettlers Committee's office and the building, 1110 N. La Salle Street, Chicago, by the Catholic You�h Organization. The Rt. Rev. Bernard J. Sheil has been especially kind to us in providing this building with necessary furnishilm.gs and in giving continual encouragement to our work. As indicated in v�rious sections of this re port, the re are numerous social and religious organizations a nd business firms which have a ssisted us in the past and are helping us now by financial assistance a nd by the usa ge of their buildings and facilities for our educational and recreation al progress. iife truly feel the interest which the com munity of Chica go is showing us by its annual monetary contribution through the Community Fund. vie would particularly like tc Gxpress our e..ppr--o-oi...�i.- .. i: thQ e;rAA. +: advanta ge which we derive fro,:, be} rngin:· -�o the Council of Soci a l Agencies, and also by working closely v:ith thG Church Federation of Greater Chicago. Such church groups as th e Unitarian Service Committee and the Congregational National Committee have helped us get on our feet in the first years of our organiz a tion. It is important for the resettlers to be assured of the mora l and material assistances which they are receiving. The resettlers are made to feel tha t they can be integra ted into the community as a necessary p art of the general soci a l pattern of the whole community life. They are ma oo conscious of the social responsibilities they must fulfill as members of the community, an d the various groups interested in the welfare of the resettlers are encouraging them to do t heir utmost to carry our their re sponsibil i ties. rre a re taking the liberty to incorporate herewith, a comprehensive report prepared by the Chicago Congregation a l Union.

The c.c.u. voted an a llocation of $1,200.00 f.or 1946, with the under standing that contributions would also be secured from the National Congreg ational Com mittee on Christian Democr a cy, the Community Trust, etc., for a tot a l budget of 06,500. The work was carried on in 19 :1:6 with Ur. Kawa saki as Director a nd a p a rt time secretary. It was recognized that there was great need for a recreational pror;ram and facilities for Japanese Amerio.a ns,. and for capable leadership to direct this program. Application was made to · the Community Fund and an allocation for 1947 was granted. The Re settlers Conunittee was accepted into membership by the Council of Socia l Agencies in September, 1946. 1 In 1947 the work and budget Vl6re cons.:.derably expanded, with two new full time staff members: Mr. Abe Ha.giwa.ra beginning work in June as Recrea.tion a l Director for Nisei work and Mr. Jack Yasutake beginning work in July as Recreational Director for the Issei wo rk. The Com mittee secured the use of the c.Y.o. building a.t 1110 North La.Salle Street, first occupying only a pa.rt of the sp ace, and later h a ving the entire building rent free, but with the understanding that it would bear the maintenance expense. In May, 1948, Mr. Kawasaki was granted a leave of absence in order to undertake work with the Japan Relief Program under the American Friends Service Committee. In September the Board of the Re settlers Committee appointed Mr. Yasu take as Acting Executive Secretary; and we understand this is now a. perm a nent a ppointment. II. In Rega rd to the Budget 1.

The Expenditure budget has increased as the program was enlarged (See I) and also because of the need of operating a building. The salary expenditGre is somewhat different from the budget as originally planned, because of the changes made during the year as indicated in I. There ha.s also been an increase in the clerical salaries, two full time workers now being employed where formerly there was one office secretary. 1948 Original Budget Executive Director Clerical Salaries Recreation Director: Nisei Issei Part Time Help 1948 Pre sent Estimate 1949 Budget 3,600.00 2,195.00 2,400.00 3,095.00 3,600.00 4,620.00 3,000.00 3,000.00 3,112.50 2,285.79 325.57 11,218 ,85 3,soo._oq_ 11,795,00 - 765.00 12,285.00 Because of the nature of much of the work, Office a.nd Controllimg Expense is a larger proportion of the total budget than in the average institutional bud::;et.

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.

.. . . . . LJ CFu ' t Ii e A few months ago, several Japanese delegates, returning from the International Labor Conference in London, visited nty office and told me the following story: "In Washington D.c., ,at a conference with the Secretaryof State and several other government officials, we were asked to freely present any question in regard to general conditions in this country. We than related to them the question on the minds of many in Japan about the troatment of the 100,000 residents in this country who were sent to the Relocation and Internment Camps during the war. We then asked, ''What has been the reaction of these people, some of whom have lost everything during the war because of the evacuation?" One of the officers answered "At the conclusion of the war, we were not very sure how they would get along. The best answer to that question I would say is to see the actual outcome. I suggest that you stop in at Chicago on your way to Japan and spend a few days there to study the life of the resettlers. You will see that the Japanese are living happily and harmoniously in that city." The delegates told me that they came straight to tho ChicagoResettlers Committee as they were told that the Committee reaches the majority of the Japanese population in Chicago, and the informa• tion they desired could be obtained through our organization. It was encouraging for me to knqw that those in WashingtonD.C, are aware of the situation here in Chicago. All visitors whohare interested in the life of the resettlers are amazed to see howhactively the Issei and Nisei are contributing to the community. The future of the resettlers in this city seems to:bo unusuallyhbright. Of course, there are still many obstacles to overcome,hespecially with the Issei, but it is a pleasure to work in a citywhere the possibilities of solving these problems are encouragingand where the people concerned are willing to cooperate in our work.h TABLE OF CONTENTS Page I INTRODUCTION • • • • • • • • • . • 1 II PROGRAM REPORT . . • • • • • • • .. 2 General Canter Activity Emplcyment Hou.sing Recreation and Education 6 III ISSEI NEEDS ARE GROWING • • • • • • • • 9 The Aged and Unemployable 9 IV COMMUNITY RELltTIONS • • • • • • • • 9 In Relation to Resettlers In Relation to Community Agencies 10 and Organizations V NEW CHALLENGES FOR 1950 • • • • • • • • 11 VI CONCLUSION • • • . • • • • • • • • 12 VII REMARlCS . . • • • • • • • • • 13 VIII FINANCIAL STATEMENT • • . • .. • • • 14 IX EXECUTIVE BOARD • • • • • • • • • • • X APPENDIX . • • • • • • • • • • • INTl.OD UCTION The ±\1.nGti.on of the Chicago Rosottlers Committee in its outward manifestationsr., r:\C wi.11 be seen by this report: is to meet the imrre diate problems of tho Japanose resettlors in Chicago.

Thore are group needs as well as j.ndividuul problems and thoy are boing handled accordingly. Tho majo:r i\mction of tho Committoo is still to encourage tho widor uso of r0couruos provided by tho wolfarorp education, and recreation agonci0sr0 both public and private, in our cormnunity. Tho Welfare Council of Metropolitan u: icago, tho Church Fodoration of Chicago, tho Catholic Youth Organization,. local churches, sottlomont housos, and community agencies havo coopo:ratod with tho general program of tho Committee. Pl.OGI. AM REPORT General Tho continued need for the services and facilities of the ChicagoR0 sottlers Committee was further demonstrated in 1949 by the number of persons who participated in the program of the agency. The number of individual probloms for which service was providedlast year totalled 3882 which represents an incroaso of 2lo3% over the same period the previous yoar. Of this number, 61% of tho requests wore for employment, 17% for housing, and 22% for all other types of problems. (See Fig. 1) Most of the problems listed undor "othorsII wore givcm full attention, although tho agency was confronted with the usual number of "unusual" requests from individuals. To illustrate how tho Committoe adjusted its program to moat tho now and changing noods of tho community during tho yoar, two examples can be cited: (1)l When tho Evacuation Claims Act was approved by tho Congresslin July of 1948, it provided tho opportunity for "all personsof Japanese ancestry to filo claims for damage or loss oflreal or personal proporty •• " rosul ting from evacuation."lHundreds of rosottlors affected by this law looked to tholagency for information, intorprotation, and assistance inlsecuring and filling out the claims application. The deadlino for all applications was January 2, 1950.l Because many Issoi were involvod, the agency cooperated withltho Japanose American Citizens Leaguo in providing logal andlintorprotation sorvico for 75 parsons. Over 130 persons wholwore unable to securo tho application from regular sources,ldue to one rouson or another wore given copies of the formlby tho agency.,l (2)l Thero woro a number of "returneos" from Japan among tho manylnewcomors to Chicago during 1949. These folks, who werelstranded in Japan during tho war, aro technically kibei*, having spent most of thoir educational years in Japan. Tholmajority of thorn aro young pooplo with soma language diffi•lculty. The agency was successful in encouraging and dirocting thorn to join English clussos in thoir own neighborhoods,and a number of thom havo found jobs through tho holp of tholCommittoo, Tho social noods of those folks are being studiodlat present by the Rocreation Council of the agency.l It is significant to noto that tho numbor of roquosts for certain servicos decreased in 1949. Although inquiries for employmont, housingand community facilities increased, fewer persons came tn tho agoncywith problems concerning child caro, family rolationship, logal service, * kiboi -American citizens of Japanoso ancestry, oducated in Japan.l and health. (Seo Appendix A) This docrease might be an indication of a groater dogroe of stabi• lity and security found among tho rosettlors today. On the othor hand, it sooms r0i:isonablo to assume that resottlors havo come to know genora l comnrunity rosourcos, whore problems can bo takon directly. The Committee has actively promoted this groator indop0ndonco through the stimulation of nowspapor articlos1 distribution of literature, and by word of mouth. TYPES OF PROBLEMS FOR WHICH SERVICES WERE GIVEN Intorprototion Arranging for facilitios Rocroation•Education Logal Sorvico Business Opportunity Assist Old Ago, Unomploymont Componsation Information and Advi.o Domostic Rolations Financial Assistanco Conter Activity The cormnunity's domand for tho uso of agoncy facilitios for mootings,conferoncos, social ovonts, rocl'oational activitios, and adult oducation programs, continuod to bo hoavy in 1949, but tho total attondanco was slightly bolow tho 1948 figure. Tho docroase in total attondanco is probably not too significant, as in tho past yoar only an ostimato record of attondanco was kept, whilo in 1949 a more accursto account of tho num• bar attonding the meetings and ovonts was made. Tho records show that 358 groups mot for 776 sessions with a total of lls858 attondnnco. This moans that there wore tho yoar previous. 23% moro groups using tho building in 1949 than in Groups Sessions Attendance 1948 290 694 12,696 1949 358 776 11,858 No foos wore charged to groups using tho facilities but small dona• tions havo boon received from approciativo groups during tho past yoar.No chango is contomplatod in tho coming yoar with rospoct to outsido community groups using thu facilities of tho c.ntor. (Soo Appondix B). It should bo notod horo, that Nisei groups incroasingly aro oncouragod to uso othor agoncy facilitieso For further commont on this policy, soo tho report of tho Committoo's rocroation program. EmplorE:.9nt Jobs during 1949 woro loss plentiful than tho provious yoar. Tho omploymont picturo of tho Japanese rosottlors sooms to bo in lino with our prosont national trond. Tho hardost hit group to bo affoctod bylay-offs and cut-backs was tho Issoi . who for tho most part ar0 vary noar tho rotiring ago.

About 65% of the job sookors woro successfully rcforrod to omployors. If tho applicant was not particular, thoro was always soma work available. (SaoFigura 2). Although opportunity for omploymont in Chicago is considerably bettor than olsowhoro in tho country, ospocially as compared to tho Wost Coast,thoro aro two major problems which tho rosottlors faco today. First, opportunities for qualified Nisei in tho spocializod and trained fields aro limitod,for those positions, whore competition is koon, racial background probably is moro likely to bo considorod in tho selection of omployoos. Socond, thoro aro not onough "quality" or skilled jobs mado available to tho rosettlors. With moro and moro Nisoi coming out of collogos and univorsitioe· oach yoar, tho possibilities for thorn to bo placod in positions within thoir rospoctivo fiolds become loss. Business and educational loaders admit that thoro will bo fowor jobs for collage graduates this yoar. Thoroforo, it is imporativo thcit tho Committoo adept a moro positive and vigorous program to improve tho omploymont situation of tho JapanesoAmerican rosottlots, and consult with othor groups as to what may bo dono to moot this problem of many young Americans. Tho Nisoi in Chicago havo made spoctacular gains by having oxplorod now areas in many fields sinco arriving horo six years ngo.,. Their industry and diligence aro continuing to hold tho rospoct .no confidonoo of tho employers. In soma aroas, tho Nisei arc among tho last to bo firod. Somo omployors profor to hire Nisei. Tho c.goncy is dofinitolyinterostod in safeguarding any progress mado by tho Nisoi in tho aroa of omployment. Housing The year 1949 found a greater concentration of Japanese on tho NBar N.rthsido and the Westsideo Property owners among the Japanese increased on the Westside during this past year with increasing number of resettlers living in the scattered sections of Chicago's great W.stside. Good and adequate housing are still difficult to find, and the demand has continued to be heavy in 1949. Today tho resottlers are living in five well defined areas .f Chicago. The largest concentration of homo and apff rtment owners are in (1) the Oakland and Kenwood communititios on the Southside. othor areas are (2) Noar Northside community, (3) Hyde Park and 'Voodlawn communities, (4) Far Northsido, and (5) greater .:Vestside.

Mario April May June July Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. 1949 .. 658 1948 -6!2i(10 Months)i Tho problem in housing as seen by this agency is two-fold: first, to locato now possibilities for housing, making availablo new buildings to be loasod or rontod to Japanese familios; second, soma assistance ought to bo given to individuals who aro ready to build homos in the now dovolopment housing areas. Tho agency hero again should adopt an aggrossivo program in 1950 to opon up new aroas in housing for tho resottlors. In gonoral ront is still too high, and n great numbor of tho resettlors is now living in apartments and rooming houses oporatodby Japanoso. The concentration of the resottlers in sevoral section of tho city as doscribed above id due largely to thoir accessibilityand availability and not nocossarily by choice. Rocroation and Education The domand and nood for recreational and educational activities for tho Nisei continuod to grow in 1949. Approximately 25 now groupshavo boon created during tho yoar, most of thorn boing self-organizedfriendship clubs. Tho Committee wns instrumental in dirocting a number of thoso groups to rocroational agoncios. Sovoral of those agoncieswhich had roceivod provious assistance in interpretation, have roportodworking moro and more diroctly with Nisoi groups which aro beginning to como in to tho agencies on thoir own initiative • . .. • . ....,. Tho socinl pattorn of tho Nisei is now fairly v,ell ostablishod. As a group, thoy aro inclinod to plan in terms of organizing social, recreational and athletic cctivitios for themsolvos. Occasionally,with soma oncouragomcnt from leadors, toams havo participatod in nonNisoi athlotic lo&guos in difforont sections of tho city. Tho basic philosophy which charactorizos tho agency's rocroationol program is still "rufer intorost groups to agoncios best oquippod to servo thom.o11 In thu avant thnt this is impractical, tho agoncy utilizes indigonous loadors to holp organize and guide tho program of tho group. Tho agoncy, through tho work of tho City-1:'fido Rocroation Council, uncouragod widor uso of community rosourcos and promoted some inter-groupactivity with tho given limitation of tho Nisei involvod in thoir roadinoss for this typo of participation. Tho four aspects of tho rocroation-oducation program conductod bytho agoncy aro: A.oWorking closely with community recreation ogoncios, bothopublic and private. In this rogard, Olivet Institute, St.oPaul's Episcopal Church, First-Baptist Y .tf.. C .A. Cont or,o Loop Y.'7[. C .A.

Thoy organizod and conductod its annual CommunityPicnic to which 2400 parsons attondod. (Tho Issoi also sponsorod an unusual classical-drama program, which draw 500 persons.) Such activitios as Japanoso pootry, singing, goh, shogi, 'lectures, sponeorod by tho Committoo, havo provod popular with many. A groatmajority of tho Issoi aro looking forward to their "Golden Yoars" with optimism and groat oxpoctation. Ono roason is that their lifotimo droam of becoming a citizon of tho United Statos may como to roality this yoar if tho Waltor Resolution, now boforo Congress, is approvod. Tho bill is to permit pormanont alion rosidonts in tho United States now ineligible for citizonship to apply for naturalization. Tho anticipation of this dream has spurred many to attend English Classes conducted under tho joint auspices of tho Board of Education and tho Committoo. It is inspiring to soc so many attend wookly classos dospito advorso woathor conditions, Tho Agod and Unomployablo Tho problom of tho agod and unomployablo Issoi will continua to grow moro sorious each yoar, For most Issoi this is thoir twilightporiod as many aro around tho retiring ago of 65 yours. During tho yoar 50 parsons sought aid for financial assistanco, housing, and care. This is a 35% incroaso ovor tho provious yoar. T.o assist thom with routine mattors roquirod a groat doal of staff timo. COMMUNITY RELATIONS Tho Committee maintainod a high dogroo of offoctivonoss as a liason agency by continuing to work closoly with all community groups on problems affocting tho gonoral wolfaro of tho rosottlors. Board mombors and staff workors woro moro active this yoar than tho past, as participants in community councils, city-wido organizations, and youth serving agoncios • Tho two diroctors havo attondod cvoning (348) mootings separately. Tho·Committco supplied spoakors and program to religious, civic and educational groups upon roquost to promoto bottor understanding of tho noods and problems of tho rosottlors. Public agoncios as wall as private organizations havo lookod to tho Committoo for assistanco of ono kind or another involving tho Japanoso. Thoso roquosts rccoivod careful attention and consideration by tho staff'. In Rolation to Rosottlors Tho Japanoso community has also rocognizod tho work .f tho Committoo and rospondod wall to its appoal for membership during 1949. Tho total of 1660 paid mombors, 200 moro than 1948, boar out this phase of tho Committoo's relationship with tho comnn.mity.

Since 1947 there has been more people moving away from Chicago to the West Coast than people coming into the Midwest. This trend -11 will continuo at a slowor rato. Thero is ovary indication that tho prosent population of tho resottlors will remain about the samo for tho next few yoars unless a sharp doclino in omployment occurs. Thero have boon somo now facos appoaring in Chicago during the past18 months. Among the incoming group to Chicagoland aro: (1) Roturnoes from Japan as provio4sly described in this report: (?) Families in noigh•boring Midwostorn communitios who havo pullod up stakes for social and not economic roasons. Paronts aro lonesome without frionds and they want thoir children to grow up with othor Nisei, (3) Resottlors who docidod to coma back to tho Midwest aftor 'going homo' to tho Wost Coast whoro thoyfound fowor omploymont opportunities, ond (4) students and job sookors from Hawaii, most of them boing ox-sorvicomon. Tho unmot noods of tho nowcornors, us wall as tho currant noods of tho rosottlors, continua to require attention. Tho Committoo in 1950 will confront some issuos that will nooossitate tho oooporativo offort of loadors among tho rosottlors and tho community•wido agoncios. An immediato considorotion .ill bo mado rogarding tho purchase of tho building in which tho Committoo program is now conductod. A prossing problom, which is growing moro serious oach year, is that of ostablishing in tho community a homo for the Japanoso aged. Tho loadorship potontialitios of Nisoi youth noods further devolopmont. A spacial educational program is boing plannod to train now loadors. Moro group activities for Issoi around gonoral or spacial intorosts nood to be fostorod. _!specially in anticipation ___of tho possible passage of a bill to permit naturalization, tho Conunittoo should oxpand its prosont Americanization oducation program. Tho Chicago Rosottlors Committoo should actively align itsolf with othor groups concornod with tho ostublishmont of a community rocroational cantor on tho Noar North, nvailablo to all.

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

1979/ 1980 JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITTEE OF CHICAGO President's Report When the founders of the Chicago Resettlers Committee initiated a self-help effort in 1945 to assist Americans of Japanese ancestry resettle in Chicago from World War II relocation camps, little did they realize what the agency would become. The Japanese American Service Com mittee. as it is now known, is not only a sophisticated agency with an annual budget in excess of $700,000 but also a model for ethnically based social service delivery. In 35 years the JASC has become an increasingly vital force for service to the total Japanese community of the Chicago area and to the Lakeview, Uptown, and Edge water communities. During this past year the JASC has made additional gains and progress, which we are happy to share with you in this Annual Report. One highlight of the past year's activities - and certainly the JASC' s most exciting accomplishment since its own inception - is the completion of the Heiwa Terrace hous ing development for senior citizens. This $6,400,000 edifice was completed this spring and residents began moving in this summer. Management responsibilities have been shifted from the JASC to Steven Jerold Manage ment Associates, Inc., with George Maruyama serving as the local building manager. A Japanese garden will soon be constructed at the comer of Sheridan and Lawrence to put the finishing touches on the attractive 200-unit build ing. For many years the JASC has instituted the Issei compre hensive program to assist in alleviating problems of the elderly. It is designed to attend to the social and emotional as well as the physical needs of aged Isseis. The JASC is now adding another dimension to assist the Isseis by offering a Day Care Center program. The public was in vited to an open house on April 19 to view the renovation and modernization of the agency to accommodate the facilities for this new program. For the renovation the JASC received $100,000 from the Illinois Department of Aging. However, the JASC is currently in the process of raising an additional $50,000 to meet the stringent city code requirements. The agency expresses gratitude to the organizatons, corporations, and individuals who have contributed toward the funding of the renovation. Two of the Board-sponsored annual fund-raising events, Market Day and the Fuji Festival, were particularly suc cessful this past year. They netted more income than in previous years. Our sincere thanks go to Art Morimitsu, who chaired the Market Day, to May and Hiroshi Nakano, co-chairpersons of the Fuji Festival, and to all the volun teers who were so instrumental in the success of these two fund-raising efforts. All of the progress made this past year would not have been possible without the dedication of the Board and staff, whose members have given so generously of their time and energies to assure that the agency is on target in terms of meeting human needs. We are grateful, too, to the many volunteers who make it possible for our work to be extended to many more people than can be served by a small staff. We especially wish to recognize the strong and dynamic leadership of Masaru Nambu, our Executive Director. Mr. Nambu has worn two hats in the past many months. He has devoted many hours to the administra tion and coordination of Heiwa Terrace during the last four years - tantamount to a full-time job. In addition to administering the JASC staff, he has also assumed the responsibility of being the chief fund raiser for the agency. We are tremendously grateful for this creativity, zeal, and enthusiasm, which serves as an inspiration to all. Lastly, we count our many friends and supporters for their continued interest in helping the agency improve the quality of life in this city. - Thomas S. Teraji, 1979-80 President, Board of Directors. Executive Director's Report The time has come again to share with you what the Japanese American Service Committee has accom plished during the past year, the priorities we pursued, and the concerns we have had. Renovation to accommodate an Adult Day Care Center and to provide an enlarged meeting space for community groups was completed in March. Funds for this project were made available through Title V of the Older Ameri can Act in the amount of $100,000, with a number of individuals, corporations, and foundations contributing additional funds. After a long delay and a bureaucratic struggle, we saw the opening of the Adult Day Care Center in September. We received program initiation funds totaling $20,000 from the Chicago Community Fund, and additional start up funds will be provided by the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago. Upon completion of Heiwa Terrace, a 200-unit apart ment building located at Lawrence and Sheridan, senior citizens and handicapped persons began moving in, with full occupancy expected to be reached by the end of summer. The JASC has been extending its services to the residents, and more complete arrangements for formal service will be made during the coming year. After successful completion of the assessment of vocation al rehabilitation services needed among the ethnic minorities in the Uptown; Lakeview, and Lincoln Park communities, the JASC was awarded a $82,000 grant to implement the plans that were derived from the study. Since the beginning of the project, the JASC has operated an outpost at the Uptown National Bank and accom plished its first-year goal and expects to continue making a valuable contribution in meeting the needs of minority groups throughout the second year. The project is called the Chicago Minority Access Center (CMAC). Since all rehabilitation facilities were required to receive accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), our rehabilitation staff endeavored to meet the high standards set by CARF. I am very proud to report that the JASC received the maximum three-year accreditation. The adverse trend in the economy has brought about dif ficulty in providing sufficient work programs for the Shel tered Workshop clients, and we are girding ourselves to meet another year of tight economy. There has been improvement in raising funds from corpo rations and foundations. I intend to pursue this matter further in the coming year, as excellent and unique pro grams cannot endure on their merit alone; they must be supported by sound financial resources. The uniqueness and effectiveness of the JASC are achieved through the efforts of everyone involved in the life of the agency. We could not have come as far as we have without the dedication of our staff, the strong support from our Board of Directors,and the selfless assist ance provided by nearly 100 volunteers who have given their energy and time so generously throughout the year. I wish to convey my heartfelt appreciation to all who have taken part in the important team work. -Masaru Nambu/Executive Director Social Service The Social Service Department has been involved in indi vidual and family counseling; information and referral services; educational, cultural, and social progams; home maker services; hot lunch programs; health related pro grams, and a library. All age groups are served by the educational and cultur al programs. An increasing number of Niseis - a total of 708 in the past year - are participating in the programs, which include the following: flower arrangement, Karuta kai, English, cooking, ceramics, body dynamics, party time, arts and crafts, amimono, Japanese, lectures, movies, shodo and penji, oshie, harie, temari, kami ningyo, family tree studies, defensive driving, quilting, and relaxation. Our art classes produced three award win ners at the Buckingham Fountain Art Fair in 1979. The social program took participants to the Arlington Race Track, Nielsen's Restaurant, Triton College, Museum of Science and Industry, Lake Lawn Resort, Lake Geneva for boat rides, Octoberfest, Lambs Fann, and a picnic. Some 14, 157 hot lunches were served on weekdays in the past year to persons 60 years old and older. They are contributing 75¢ to $1.25 for the lunch, depending on their ability to pay. The health-related program included monthly blood pressure checks, a dental clinic, an eye clinic, flu shots, diabetic detection tests, glaucoma tests, body dynamics, a relaxation class, and lectures on health care. In-home services - cleaning, shopping, laundry, cooking and escort service - were made available to homebound clients. A total of 2,689 home visits were made during the past year, serving 71 Isseis, 18 Niseis, 20 Japanese nationals, 5 other Japanese, 2 other Asians, and 35 others. The high quality of service has been recognized by many public agencies, which have been referring more and more clients to our agency. JASC Programs ,JASC social workers made 4,459 contacts with clients2, 192 with Isseis; 825, Niseis; 29, Sanseis; 299, other Japanese; 150, Japanese nationals; 541, other Asians; and 423, others- in the counseling program. The staff of 18 includes professional social workers, home makers, group workers, teachers, and aides. Under the direction of the staff, over 80 volunteers make it possible for the JASC to carry out its many programs. Out of the ranks of the volunteers come instructors, hot lunch helpers, doctors and nurses, friendly visitors, interpreters, helpers for special events, homemaker volunteers, and those skilled in arts and crafts to make handicraft items for Market Day and Pre-Christmas Sale. Group sessions for the Korean elderly who are in the Work Center program were new services offered during the past year to help these people adjust to the new life in the United States. The Day Care Center for the Elderly was finally scheduled to start in September. The program will include recrea tional, social, and other cultural activities, general nursing, rehabilitation and therapy, self care training and health maintenance program, nutrition service, transportation, and supportive services. The maximum pqrticipants per day will be 25 in order to provide quality service. Many referrals have been coming from Heiwa Terrace for casework and in-home services. The Social Service Department receives part of its support from the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, the Of fice for Senior Citizens and Handicapped, and the Illinois Art Council.

In addition to the important work activity, the clients re ceive assistance in dealing with social isolation, health problems, and depression. Other programs are also offered to the Workshop clients, such as social programs, health maintenence programs, and counseling. Recently the Work Center has been serv ing other Asian elderly such as Koreans, Chinese, and Filipinos. It is a vital adjunct to the Edgewater Uptown Comprehensive Community Mental Center, serving for mer mental patients in the target areas and the clients referred from the IllinoisDepartment of Rehabilitation Service (DORS). The recently established Chicago Minor ity Access Center works closely with the Work Center in serving the minority groups who need vocational services fromDORS. Blood Assurance Program An important benefit derived by members of the Japanese American Service Committee is coverage for themselves and members of their immediate family by the Blood Assurance Program. Sheltered Workshop Two drives are conducted during the year to collect our annual quota of 240 pints. A total of 118 pints was col lected at the first collection on June 23. On this occasion, seven persons who have been regular donors became gallon givers. The second collection will take place in November. How ever, donations will be accepted at the Michael Reese Blood Center in behalf of the JASC Blood Assurance Pro gram any time. We encourage members and nonmem bers to donate blood for this worthy cause. Blood Assurance Program Heiwa Terrace As work on Heiwa Terrace proceeded in 1979-80, more than 250 applicants were interviewed and screened. An Open House in April brought prospective residents to Heiwa Terrace to view some of the completed apartments. By early July, 121 units were occupied and leases for 19 additional units had been signed. Furniture for the lobby, offices, dining room, and other public areas on the ground floor began arriving in July. A striking ceramic mural depicting Genji Emaki, the origi- nal of which is in the Boston Museum, adorns a wall of the lobby. This work of art was donated by the Otsuka Chemi cal company. Administrative duties that had been handled by the JASC throughout the construction of Heiwa Terrace have been turned over to Steven Jerold Management Associ ates, Inc. A manager, assistant manager, engineer, and maintenance person have been hired to operate and maintain the building. 1--..

1980-81 ANNUAL REP ORT .i JAPANESE AMERICAN , SERVICE COMMITTEE OF CHICAGO $16,044, under the chairmanship of Stanley Kurokawa and Peter Oyama; and the membership drive, which so far is $7,000 ahead of last year under the direction of Tom Mura. The Blood Assurance drive, under the chairmanship of Colin Hara, is more than half way toward its annual goal at the half-way point (see page 10 for more details). The Program Committee, chaired by Kiyo Yoshimura and assisted by Yoji Ozaki and Dan Kuzuhara, has been busy making plans to shift gears in terms of those we ought to begin to serve in the immediate future. W hat I have reported thus far may give the impression that everything is fine with the JASC. This is not entirely the case, as we were faced with the serious situation of operational costs increasing at a greater rate than our income to carry out our current programs. Many will recall a series of meetings held during March to notify our membership of a tremendous deficit developing for the 1980-81 budget year. The deficit began in late summer of 1980, due to the sudden reversal in our national economic status and a change of personnel in our Sheltered Workshop program. By September we were approximately $35,000 in deficit. At the March meetings I projected a $60,000 deficit if the trend continued and we did not raise additional funds. Because of the overwhelming response from persons attending the meetings that the Workshop be continued for its elderly participants and that necessary funds be raised, the Board of Directors acted accordingly. A special fund-raising drive was launched, and our deficit has been reduced dramatically for this fiscal period, thanks to the commitment of the Board, staff, and friends of JASC. To also compensate for future deficit spending, the Board put together a realistic budget for the 1981-82 fiscal year and will hire a public relations and fund raising staff person with clerical assistance, with the goal of increasing our revenue for the next two years. The Community Trust has provided JASC with $74,000 to pay for the staffing for the new development department. All of the progress made during this past year would not have been possible without the dedication of the Board staff, and volunteers who have all given so generously of their time and energies to assure that the agency is on target in terms of meeting human needs. I especially wish to recognize the strong and dedicated leadership of Masaru Nambu, our Executive Director. We both had to work a little harder this year to make ends meet by visiting corporations, businessmen, and foundations. It has been a trying year, and Mr. Nambu accepted it with his usual zeal and enthusiasm. We will continue to count on our many friends and supporters for their continued interest in helping the JASC improve the quality of life in this wonderful city. President's Report For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of serving on the Japanese American Service Committee Board-five as vice president in charge of building and the last two years as president. I was also privileged to serve as chairman of the Senior Citizens Housing Committee and later as the presi dent of the Board of Directors of the Japanese American Service Committee Housing Corporation, an affiliate of the JASC from 1975 to 1980. I would like to review briefly what I consider the highlights during the two years of my presidency. The completion of the Heiwa Terrace housing devel opment for senior citizens was certainly a highlight of the past year-and possibly the most exciting accomplish ment in JASC's history. This $6,400,000 structure was completed in 1980 and is now fully occupied, with a long waiting list of those wanting to move in. The JASC recently added another dimension to assist Isseis by offering a Day Care Center program. A sum of $178,000 was spent to renovate and modernize a portion of the JASC building to make this program po�sible, with $128,000 coming from the Illinois Department of Aging, Office of Senior Citizens and Handicapped, and United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, and the remaining $50,000 raised through friends of the JASC. A special van donated by Mr. and Mrs. William Yamamoto of LaSalle Photo provides transportation for the elderly. Un_der the leadership of our vice president of finance, Dr. Hiroshi Kanno, the following successful events were held: Fuji Festival, under the chairmanship of Hiroshi Nakano, which raised more funds than ever before; the Spring festival music concert, which brought in some $5,000 through the efforts of Kazuko Lehrman and her committee; Market Day, with a record net income of - Thomas S. Teraji 1980-81 President Board of Directors 2 clients for whom the Workshop was no longer beneficial. The JASC staff is currently endeavoring to provide recommendations in response to such needs. The fiscal policies of the new federal administration are seriously affecting health, welfare, and education fields, and more shock waves are anticipated in the near future. Every social service agency in the nation is being forced to reevaluate its programs, to seek additional sources of funds from private sectors, and to prove its worth for funding. The accepted concept of the past decade of federal responsibility for social improvement is changing and much will be turned over to the states and voluntary organizations for implementation. With less federal fund ing available, expansion of social services will be curtailed. Serious appraisals of priorities among numerous needs and worthy projects will take place to determine which programs will be funded. When the wind blows, it separates the chaff from the grain. The reputation the JASC has established and the esteem it has received from both public and private sectors should sustain us through the difficult times ahead. How ever, we are entering a period during which we will be faced with challenges to demonstrate our capability as not only an ethnic social service agency but also as the deliverer of a range of services that extends beyond our ethnic confines. We are also at the threshold of witnessing the majority of the Nisei population joining the ranks of senior citizens. We will plan and implement services that will not only assist Niseis but will also provide oppor tunities for them to enrich their senior years. The increasing influx of Asian immigrants is also a concern and challenge to us. We will continue our efforts to coordinate our services with other Asian agencies. Although our public funding may be cut and we may have to modify our programs, we will continue to strive toward the fulfillment of the mission of the JASC. We will continue to solicit all available support from churches, groups, and organizations in our community. And with the two-year grant from the Chicago Community Trust, we will launch an aggressive campaign in fundraising and public relations to reach beyond our ethnic boundaries. In closing, I wish to express my gratitude to our dedi cated staff, whose professional attitude toward clients and their tasks are highly commendable, and to our Board of Directors, the members of which have provided strong volunteer leadership in policy decisions and fund-raising. I am especially grateful for the dynamic and skillful leadership our President has provided during this past year. Executive Director's Report The past JASC year of 1980-81 has been a period of accomplishment as well as a time for serious reassessment of our programs. The long-awaited Adult Day Care Center was opened in September with 13 initial clients, and the program has proved to be effective in meeting another set of heretofore unmet needs in our community. Thus we took another stride toward making the programs of the JASC truly comprehensive for the elderly. The completion of Heiwa Terrace marked another significant milestone in the history of the JASC. On Sep tember 27, 1980, the dream, vision, and efforts sustained over the past five years by the Board of Directors and staff of the JASC were culminated at an open house and dedication ceremonies. Also opened was a new and unique social service delivery pattern for the elderly linking the residents of Heiwa Terrace to the well established JASC services for the elderly. The beautiful edifice is a symbol of the crystalization of public and private effort, with more than 600 individuals from the Japanese community having contributed financial support. As the entire nation has been hit by both economic recession and double-digit inflation, every American has been forced to alter his lifestyle-and the JASC has not been exempted. Our Sheltered Workshop program partic ularly suffered from the shortage of adequate subcontracts and financial support. The increasing operating cost and declining productivity of the Workshop's elderly clients prompted us to seriously review the appropriateness and feasibility of this program for the elderly. A series of meetings involving the Board of Directors, staff, commu nity leaders, and the community-at-large reaffirmed the validity of the Workshop program for the elderly. It was also urged that alternative programs be created for those -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 The Fiscal Picture The 1980-81 fiscal year has been a difficult period during which many decisions had to be made in the finan cial operation of the agency's programs. The cash flow problem started to become especially acute in October and peaked in February, with accounts payable and federal deposits going into serious arrears. A report on the agency's position was made to leaders of the community and the community-at-large at a series of meetings in March. A mandate came out of these meet ings that the Workshop program be continued for the Isseis and that a special fund-raising drive be conducted to provide the needed financing. As a result, more than $30,000 in contributions was received. With this sum and additional funding from government sources and foundations, the fiscal year ended on an encouraging note. • Community support rose to 22 percent of the annual operation budget as compared to an average of 14.58 percent in the previous six-year period. • Special events income remained constant at 8 percent of this year's budget. • The United Way allocation stayed at the same level of 6 percent. • Government funding has steadily increased from 16.2 percent in 1976 to 32.4 percent in fiscal year 1980-81. The area of concern is the subcontract income pro vided by the Sheltered Workshop program, which has shown a steady decline averaging 4.5 percent a year for the past six years, while the client payroll has increased on the average of 3.7 percent each year during the same period. Local support and United Way allocations must offset these differences. The financial picture for agency programs is as follows: • The casework counseling and adult day care pro grams have maintained themselves within their budgets with funding from the Office of Senior Citizens and Handicapped and the Illinois Department of Aging and allocations from United Way and local support. The adult day care center has also received additional funding from United Way as start-up funds. • The homemaker service and group services, which receive government funding and local support, showed marginal deficits. Group services receive minimal govern mental support of $3,500. • The Sheltered Workshop is the agency's largest program, requiring 65 percent of the total budget. This program ended with a deficit of $23,160. It was estimated back in March that the deficit would be $60,000 by the end of the fiscal year. The restricted contributions of $30,000 contributed in reducing the deficit. The first quarterly payment from the Community Trust Development grant has made it possible for the operating budget to end with one of the lowest deficits in many years. ,.,-T he baked goods and handicraft tables did brisk business at the annual Market Day.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The staff of 29-which includes social workers, chore housekeepers, program coordinators, group workers, day care helpers, teachers, nurses, drivers, an employ ment counselor, and aides-is assisted by more than 80 volunteers. Funding for the department comes from a variety of sources: United Way of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, Illinois Arts Council, Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department On Aging, and foundations. Casework/Counseling. The program is staffed by experienced Master's level clinicians in the areas of assess ment, social policy, counseling, and psychotherapy. It is designed primarily to assist individuals who are experiencing difficulty coping with the demands of everyday living to achieve adequate or healthy psychological and social adjustment. The program, however, also includes services dealing with financial and health management, nutrition guidance, advocacy, emergencies, and immigration and naturalization. Assistance is rendered through brief consultations or individual, family, or group counseling/ psychotherapy. During the past year a total of 352 (310 Japanese and other Asian, 40 White, 2 Hispanic) clients used the service. Chore Housekeeping. Many kinds of services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, grooming, personal care, nutrition guidance, and hygiene education-are offered in the home to assist older persons in the activities of daily living so that they may live in an independent manner. Volunteers are recruited to assist in escort service, and activities such as window washing and moving furniture. During the past year chore housekeepers served 84 individuals, which included 46 Isseis, 24 Niseis, and 14 others; 68 of these households were at Heiwa Terrace. Public agencies and individuals have recognized this service. Group Services. A wide range of educational and cultural programs are provided by the group services staff. There are classes in Japanese language, penji, minyo, kaminingyo, kimekomi, beads, ceramics, needlepoint, tai-chi; cooking demonstrations and workshops; table games; movies; children's summer programs; mothers' play group, knitting, bread craft; and special Japanese cultural displays and observances. Aware of the growing number of Niseis who have attained or are approaching retirement age, the JASC has continued offering programs dealing with issues that confront Niseis. There have been in-depth sessions related to retirement, and health-related projects that included monthly blood pressure check-up, weekly eye clinic, glaucoma screening, flu shots, health screening, and an all-day health fair. Some 11,949 meals were served to senior citizens in the nutrition site program. Volunteers delivered 3,156 meals to homebound seniors, 60 years of age and over. Attendance at the various programs totaled 24,130, which included Isseis, Niseis, Sanseis, and others. _,.;;_ Day Care Nisei client enjoys ceramics Entertainment J Golden Diners Club nutrition lunch 5 develop a joint care plan for each client and monitor clients on an ongoing basis. This year emphasis was placed on serving Isseis in need of more opportunities to socialize and whose physical functioning was beginning to decline. It was felt that if Isseis could receive a limited amount of help before they became totally dependent on their family, the rate of decline might be slowed. The weekly Tuesday program was devel oped to meet this need and has attracted several clients who come once every other week. Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care program promotes the physical and mental well-being of older adults through a full range of coordinated services in a supervised group setting. Care is given to maintain a balance of opportunities for socialization, activities, and rest. Clients enjoy a wide range of activities and special events, including field trips, ceramics, exercise, games, speakers, and monthly field trips for lunch. The balanced noon meal and snack breaks provide needed nutrition and the social opportunity to share food together. The social service and nursing staffs II Blood pressure check Career conference Cultural events 6 ship Act. Based on the needs of the community the service was extended to the population that is 54 years or under. Last year the program staff screened 520 applicants ranging in age from 19 to 76 to determine their employ ability, and placed a total of 100 Asians, ages 24-71 in 26 kinds of employment positions. For the coming year the staff anticipates having to serve a larger segment of the unemployed population. Working together with the client, family, and staff makes it possible for the older adults to remain in their homes at the highest functional level. The program served 85 clients; 5,753 units or days of service were provided, 4,937 of them to economically disadvantaged clients. Average attendance was 22.6 clients. Job Placement. Last year the JASC initiated a Job Place ment Service for Asian Older Workers (55 years or older) in contract with the City of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, funded by the Job Training Partner- Mothers/Toddlers play group Harmonizing Flu shots 7 Workshop Japanese, 19% Koreans, 6% Filipinos, 1% Chinese. Of the Mentally Handicapped, 21% were W hite, 9% Black, 2% Mideast, 1% Hispanic. The Work Center's current Issei population is a con siderable drop from the 150 Isseis who participated in the program in the 1960s. W ith the general decline in the Issei population through the years, the Niseis remain the next target group for the Work Center to serve. However, the anticipated increasing number of Niseis has been slow in developing, although the ten already enrolled have been expressing their satisfaction and enjoyment of the work and the social interaction. With the addition of mechanized types of jobs requiring skilled labor the Niseis should find employment in the Work Center just as appealing and rewarding as the handwork has been to the Isseis for nearly 25 years. The Sheltered Workshop program continues to provide a place for senior citizens to perform fine physical tasks to keep their minds sharp, a place for socialization with other elderly persons, and a variety of different kinds of work where they can feel productive. Last year's roof renovation severely limited the amount of service that could be provided and in turn the amount of income earned through the agency's sub-contracting efforts. Yet, the Workshop provided work for a monthly average of 74 men and women who worked an average of approximately 11.25 days per month, 4.25 hours per day; 60% were Asian elderly, 40% mentally handicapped who worked when physically able. Of the Elderl y, 34% were I a--- '"' .....

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

1993-1994 ANNUAL REPORT DEFININ NE Japanese American Service Committee _..... DEFINING A NEW AGENDA We dream ... we accomplish ... we adapt to changes, and then we evaluate the results: has it been a good year, or bad? Have we served our constituency well, or not? Have we succeeded or failed? The fiscal year 1993-94 was one of the years followed by a question mark. for the Japanese American Service Committee the accomplishments abounded ... but there were a few disappointments along the way. A mountainous task, the completion of the Keiro Extended Care Center was accomplished. We built the first such facility east of the Rocky Mountains. At the same time our organization had to realize that we could not operate it and it had to be turned over to another owner. While owned by another company, Keiro stands of foster avenue in Chicago as a lasting monument to JASC and will serve the Japanese American community for years to come. The theme for our annual report is "Defining a New Agenda," and what that means is that new leadership has taken over our organization. The Sanseis (third generation Japanese Americans) are now the majority on the Board of Directors and for years to come will determine the policies of JASC. This is welcome. And we hope that in the following years we truly establish "A New Agenda," defining our future course and how we can better serve our community. The torch is passed to a new generation and knowing that and believing in it, we see nothing but great opportunities. The centerfold in this annual report will feature in pictures one client's day at our Adult Day Care Center. As we followed her through the day, it appeared that she enjoyed it. We hope that you will too. . PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Throughout the almost fifty-year history of the Japanese American Service Committee (JASC), we ·have adjusted to changes in circumstances and the concerns of our members. We began as a provider of transitional services to Japanese Americans released from relocation camps. The needs at that time were for housing and employment. JASC seived that need. We outgrew our LaSalle street headquarters and purchased a building on Sheffield avenue. While these facilities were used by various community groups for cultural, social and religious functions, JASC continued to provide social services to the community. During this time, Nisei leadership replaced Iseis and JASC emerged as source of identity for the community. The service committee picnics are a fond memory of most Sanseis, who grew up in widely scattered communities. Throughout our existence when the community required seivice, the JASC responded. We moved to Clark Street because the Viking Hall on Sheffield became inadequate. The JASC focused its service on Issei, first with the sheltered workshop program and later with construction of the Heiwa Terrace a residence building for elderly on Lawrence Avenue and then with the Keiro Extended Care Center facility on Springfield and Foster Avenues. We have succeeded in all endeavors because you, members of the community, have helped with time, money and effort. The past year, 1993-94, was not an easy year for JASC or the community. Our dreams of owning a nursing home were tempered by our realization that we did not fully understand the overwhelming business of running a medical facility. While those dreams were dashed and everyone was disappointed, the efforts of JASC members to avert a greater fiscal and operational crisis were successful. As a consequence of the generosity of the Thomas Masuda Foundation, JASC was able to provide a smooth transition of the facility during an eventual sale of the facility to the ITEX Corporation. Our future depends upon whether we can learn from our mistakes and move forward. My sincere appreciation goes to our members and friends who assisted the JASC and our community during this past year and my continued hope is that the JASC will recognize a way to better seive our members as they wish to be seived. Calvin K. Manshio President . EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT The fiscal year 1994 began on an upward beat and anticipation of excitement. The JASC Board discussed the proposed reorganization of the Japanese American Service Committee in preparation for the forthcoming opening of the Keiro Extended Care Center However, the harsh reality of the financial conditions of the Keiro project forced us to change the ultimate course of our vision. We felt a deep sense of sadness and loss along with many who shared the same dream and helped us to realize our goal. In spite of all, a long-term care facility for Japanese Americans has been completed, existing to provide care and services for Asians for years to come. As the President's Message states, JASC and the Japanese American community owe greatly to the generosity of the Thomas Masuda Foundation. Without this timely and extraordinary gift, a smooth transition and continued care for the residents might not have been possible. Although other services and programs of the JASC have been provided as planned, throughout the fiscal year it became necesswy to critically review the present and long-term future of JASC. The experience with the Keiro Extended Care Center was the greatest test our organization experienced in its history. The JASC has been very progressive in its planning and has successfully responded to the many changing needs and challenges of our community. After major programs and projects for the senior citizens in the Japanese American community (such as Heiwa Terrace, Keiro Extended Care Center, Adult Day Care, Home Help, Group Programs and Counseling) are in place, the JASC must continue identifying the unmet needs in our community and remain an agency where our people and community can Join hands to serve those who cannot obtain assistance elsewhere. -4 Many services the JASC provided throughout FY 1994 were the Joint accomplishment of our dedicated staff, generous and caring volunteers, and· the leadership that the JASC Board has provided. Continuation of JASC as a viable institution is based on social service and depends primarily on how the agency identifies the needs and interests of the Japanese American community. Of equal importance is how we respond to such needs and interests and the support we receive from the community helping us to achieve the goal of enhancing the quality of life for our people. This is truly a challenge, but the JASC has met similar challenges in the past and I am confident that this great Joint endeavor will continue. Masaru Nambu Executive Director -.-. ---.----_..,..__ -"'"------....---.----- . HIGHLIGHTS OF 1993 -1994 There was a monumental change in the Japanese American Setvice Committee as Arthur T. Morimitsu aft.r 12 years as president, passed the mantle to calvin Manshio who became only the 11th president since the organization's inception in 1946. Manshio is a Sansei (third generation Japanese American.) Several new members were also elected to the Board of Directors and for the first time in the 48-year-old histoiy of JASC the majority of the Board members were Sanseis. The organization before this was controlled by Niseis, second generation Japanese Americans. Challenges for the new Board were substantial, but were met with a commitment to achievement which resulted in substantial accomplishment. October 11, 1993 saw the Keiro Extended Care Center admit the first clients. It was a time of for celebration, but unfortunately the admittance figures fell way short of expectations. The financial figures through the rest of the fiscal year were such that the Board decided to tum over the operation to a private company. Steven Hashimoto provides music at f'aji Fest The Fuji Festival, held in early November, raised $41,533 in much needed revenue and honored the Chicago Nisei Post 1183. Entertainment was provided by the "Big Band" sound of Steven Hashimoto and the ballroom floor was filled with dancers. The annual Christmas Delight Sale saw a healthy attendance and grossed $5,521 for JASC. The Market Day in June, another annual event, had an attendance of more than 1,000 persons and realized $13,515 for JASC coffers from sale of arts and crafts items, baked goods, plants, china and the rummage sale. Our Group Services Program in conjunction with the Adult Cay Care, held six Japanese Festivals during the fiscal year. They were the Star Festival in July; Senior Citizen's Day in September of 1993; Moon Festival in October of the same year; New Years Festival in January of 1994; Girl's Day in March of 1994, and Boy's Day in May of 1994. First of three Japanese cooking classes, sponsored by the Program Committee, took place in February of 1994. Two others followed in April and May and all were highly successful. All together it can be said that the fiscal 1993-94 had its ups and downs but that the positive overwhelmed the negative by a substantial margin. . PROGRAMS AND SERVICES Since its beginning 48 years ago, the Japanese American Service Committee has formed its service programs to serve the changing needs of its client population ... the elderly Japanese American community. In the past we served the Isseis, but there are only a few left today. We now focus on services for the Niseis, but we know that we have to look at the future and anticipate the role that will be played in our organization by the Sanseis (third generation) and the Yonseis (fourth generation) Japanese Americans. Services in the areas of maintaining the Sansei cultural heritage and introducing their children to it, loom of utmost importance to us. In retrospect, fiscal year 199.3-94 has been a productive one for JASC. We served our community with the following programs: ADULT DAY CAKE --This program served 59 clients during the last fiscal year; an average 20 clients per day. It provided a total of 27,509 hours of service. Of the total 12 were Issei, .3 Nisei and the rest Caucasians or African Americans. Adult Day Care alms to keep the elderly out of institutions and offers activities in a group setting which help older adults to improve their physical and mental condition. Clients get a noon meal and social service and nursing staffs develop individual plans for each client and monitor their progress. CASEWORK AND COUNSELING --This service in the past fiscal year worked with 25.3 clients, providing 2,620 hours of service. Of the total, 211 were Asian, .36 Caucasian and the balance African Americans. One hundred eighty-four were 60 years or over, 62 adults under 60 and seven were children and teens. The counselor speaks Japanese and deals with questions involving financial and health issues as well as formulating future plans for the elderly. This service is welcomed by the elderly Japanese Americans since they cannot obtain counseling anywhere else because counselors in other agencies do not speak Japanese and usually do not understand the cultural background of those counseled. HOME SUPPORT SERVICES involve cleaning, shopping, laundcy, food preparation, personal care, nutritional service and hygiene education to the elderly either at Heiwa Terrace (a senior citizens residential center built and operated by JASC) or at other locations. During the past year the chore housekeepers provided a total of 16,539 hours of service to 152 clients. There are 17 chore workers who served .31 Issei clients, 29 Nisei, 85 caucasian, nine African American and 98 other Asian. The chore housekeepers are mostly Japanese with whom the clients can identify. The service is especially appreciated by those who have been recently discharged from hospitals and are unable to fully take care of themselves. GROUP SERVICES is a program which provides educational classes, mature driving, Minyo (folk music and dance), origami (paper folding), kaminingyo (paper doll construction) and other crafts. This program also provides Japanese language and ceramics classes. Special Japanese festivals are observed and presented as authentically as possible. Programs on health and education are presented by this division of JASC as well as city-sponsored nutrition and "Meals on Wheels" services to home-bound elderly. A total of 1,471 individuals were served through these programs last fiscal year. The importance of group services is in providing Japanese Americans with a feeling of ethnic identity and tradition. The service also includes a health maintenance program for the senior citizens in the community. JASC conducts a Health Fair which 76 individuals attended. Free Flu shots were given to 259 individuals and every month free blood pressure readings are offered at JASC. Under the "Meals on Wheels" program, 258 persons participated at JASC and 5,849 meals were served. Home delivered meals totaled 3,972 and went to 15 households. PARISH NURSE PROGRAM went into a hiatus shortly after the fiscal began when the Parish Nurse decided to leave JASC. In Januacy of 1984, a highly qualified person took over the program and by the end of the fiscal year had put in 500 hours in the activity. About .300 hours of client contact which includes individual encounters (home, hospital visits, phone consultation) and group education programs. About 200 hours in orientation and program development activities.

And she is a participant y in the Adult Da.care Program a.t the Japanese American Service Committee. We had the privilege to follow her through a busy day at JASC center and record on film he r experiences. We enjoyed our sojourn and hope tha.t you will too. The morning bus driver, Mori, picks Bernice up a.her north. t side Chicago home and leads her to the day care center's specially equipped bus fo.the r handicapped. A short time later she is at ou r headquarters on Clark street and is greeted with a hug by Barbara, the activity leader.. PHOTO SERVICE: Barbara serves breakfast to Bernice and other day care participants. The morning is spent talking about current events and socializing. A scrumptious lunch is next, and the first afternoon activity is a game of Bingo, a favorite where everyone wins two prizes donated by supporters of JASC. Next comes an afternoon snack and a blood pressure check administered by staff nurse, Melba. Then it is off for an excursion to a neighborhood park where Bernice enjoys fresh air, sunshine and socializing with good friends ... her fellow adult day care participants. 'f The day has passed quickly and it is time to head home. Bernice is ready to board the bus home with the afternoon driver, Givon, as Elaine, adult day care program coordinator, says good-bye. Givon accompanies Bernice to the door of her home and it appears that her day at the JASC Adult Day Care is over. However, on this special evening it was not so. Adult Day Care held a special "Family Night," and after changing clothes, Bernice, accompanied by her daughter, returned to JASC to sample a deluxe potluck dinner. t MEMBERS Nishio, Mr. & M.rs.

(lo help them to see Nho thev aze Every day is a beginning as well as a continuation. It is a process of building a future that is a reflection of who we are and who we want to become. We all participate in this process, through our own commitments, and the shared commitment of those in our community. As individuals, we can make choices today that will define our future and resonate with the world around us. It is an exciting and hopeful journey. At the JASC, we support the choices of each individual, as we create a community that fulfills the promise of tomorrow. We are proud of the traditions and experiences that we can share. We are fulfilled by those who have generously participated in the JASC for many years, as well as by those who meet us for the first time. It is the interaction between young and old, between traditions passed down and traditions just beginning that enriches our experience.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE ('[his NtlS a 11eatz. o'fi 6uddihtj momentum. 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.

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) 275-7212. J AS C 4427 N.

either as professional or cloric�l workers. The factories continue to employ tho bulk of tho rosottlers. As we look at the future of Nisei in the field of employment, we can bo fairly optomistic. This is based on their efficiency and conscicncious ef forts which have won the confidence of their employers and co-workers. Tho majority of tho Issci have rouchod the point where their earning power is limited. However, they have earned tho respect of employers and are - 2 - • working in various factories. It can be said that tho I�sei have passed their peak of productivity in the field of employment; so the tendency has been for the Issoi to hold easy jobs, It is regretablo that some of them aro forcing themselves to work 50 to 60 hours per week in an effort to make ends meet� or trying to make up the time lost in the relocation centers. The opportunities for employment in the larger Chicago community aro such that unless thetc is a particular incentive to work for Japanese American firms, tho tondeney i s t o be employed by others. The Committee is not unaware of the particular susceptibility of Issei as well as Nisei to rola.tively subtle forms of exploitation. Their circum stances force them to work hard and long for the money they earn. Inexper ienced in union participation and discriminated against by some unions, many of them do not yet realize that a good union can be of groat advantage to them. Housing Ono of the most urgent adjustment needs for rcsottlers is housing, which, of course, is not exceptional to them. But because the rcscttlers arc re lative newcomers, it has boon extremely difficult to tind suitable housing accomodations. Tho trend of movement of rosottlcrs, as far as housing is concerned, is that they first move into the Near North Side area and grad ually move into the North ., South and Wost side areas, wherever they find housing. It is said that approximately 10 $ 000 rcsottlors arc now residing on the South side ., o.pproximatcly 5;000 on tho Near North side and possibly another 5 ., 000 on tho North and Wost sides. Many roscttlors have purchased apartments, hotels ., houses, and many have leased rooming houses to accomodate other resottlors. It is surprising to note that very few roscttlcrs aro occupying public housing. Housing on tho Near North side reveals a most unfortunate situation. The rooms a.re small and sor;ricos arc negligible and three or four persons arc frequently crowded into a one or two room kitchen ette apartment. \ The housing shortage has been the cause of many co.sos of delinquency and marital difficulties. Rescttlcrs who have managed to find housing either on the far North or far South sides have better arrangement in living con ditions. Boarding houses mushroomed throughout tho city ., but they give a feeling of insecurity� due to its temporary arrangement and monotony. For instance ., the boarders are fed the so.me menu rcgo.rdless of likes and dislikes. Some Sha.re their rooms while still others have to sho.rc their bods with strangers .. Services in housing rendered by the Chicago Rosettlers Committee a.re inade quate in comparison with the number of requests received from rosettlers. fhoir awareness of tho housing situation was soon in the recent election ., when many Nisei supported tho bond issue for slum clearance. )1: 't •, .i..._- .\..} I Refcr:i:-o.l Tho rosottlors o.ro beginning to understand Chico.go c ommunity resources through tho rcforro.l services rendo!'ed by tho Rosettlers Conm1j_ tto c th:cough direct referrals or through publi.cl.tyo It is hoo.:ctening to note tho.t social o.gencios in Chico.go ho.vo incroo.sed their services to persons o� Jo.po.nose o.ncostry since tho purticipo.tion of the Chico.go Re settlers Commi ttco in the Cot1.ncil of Soc io.l Agencies.

This, I um now pleased to do. Our contact with tho Rosottlors goos bo.ck to tho o.rrivo.l in Chico.go of tho first contingent� members of which group sottlod in tho immediate vicinity of our Bank.

Stemming from this association is a first hand knowledge of their b usiness and personal lives. Vfu arc de lighted to attest to the fact tho.t in our opinion tho Rosottlors have been o.n influence for good. We have found them o. ho.rd working and thrifty people, animated by desire to found o. now homo in o. tolerant comrrunity, which would oncouro.go building for o. happy life for themselves and their children. This, they seem to ho.vc found in tho Chicago o.roo., o.nd we observe on their po.rt a keen appreciation of the opportunity Chico.go affords them for honest o.nd do cent living. They have now to.ken root hero, o.nd wo see mo.ny manifestations of their contributions to our connnunity ., first, by their high standards of per sonal o.nd business integrity, o.nd� second, by their industry und applico.tion to their to.sks, be they as employees in crafts, industry and commerce, or as owners o.nd operators of their own business enterprises, such o.s retail shops, rooming houses, apartment hotels o.nd small munufo.cturing enterprises.

Tho Chico.go Congrogo.tiono.l Union voted o.n allocation of �1,200.00 for 1946, with th o understanding tho.t there would be o. tote.I budget of o.p proximo.toly $6,500.00 o.nd tho.t contributions would be secured from the No.tiono.l Congregc,tiono.l Committee on Christian Democro.cy ., the C ommunity Trust, o.nd other orgo.nizo.tions.

The budget includes an amount of �1 ., 000 from "Other Church Organizations" for 1948, and we understand that cont inued efforts will bo made to secure gifts from tho National Congregational Committee $ the Unitarian Service Committoc and other groupse Tho Community Fund has given definite assurance of an allocation of �4,475.00 for 1947. Tho Fund has been approached for an increased amount in 1948 -in that the staff has boon increased and the budget has also needud to be increased to cover maintenance of tho building. The Committeo will want to know about tho possibility of securing an increase in tho Community Fund allocation from $4,475.00 in 1947 t o �8,375.00 in 1948. 2. As indicated under I, the expense budget is considcrably increased: (a) The salary of the Executive Director was increased as of June 1, 1947, from $3,000 to $3,600.

REPORT 1 9 LI 7 PI� E PA R E D 13 Y CORKY T. KAWASAKI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CHICJ�GO RESETTLERS COIDIIITTEE. A F3:R1�F HIST(:RY The Chicago Resettlers Co:rrrrnittee W::'l.s forried in 1944 for the purpose of inter preting the need.a of Jap<>.nese American resettlers as a liason agency between the people and the agenc�es interested in their adjustment in Chicagou On December 18� 1945, an executive director was appointed 3 and a program was built to gear in with the termination of the Chicago Office of the liar Relo cation Authority in the early part of 19460 ' The Committee has been carrying on its program in the community with no dupli cation with other agencies, and 9 furthermore, hac made it possible for these people to use these agency services. The Chicago Resettlers Committee has faithfully adherred to its major function, that of encouraging wide use by resettlers of community resources for we]fare, education, recreation ., and other services, In this regard j, the Comm:i.ttee has worked ve1·y closely with the Council of Social .b.gencies s The Church Federation of Greater Chicago, The Catholic Youth Organization, settlement houses, and other community agencies. The Commun:i.ty referral service has been used exten sively for direction and guidance o:ri individ,.:w.l a�d comJnunity socio.l problems. With the assistance of the Adult Education Dcpt.rtr:,ent of tho Board of Education, the Co:mrrd.ttee started English classes for lsseL During the year 1946., the Resettlers Committee was extremely helpful to re settlers in broad,ming tho bas0 of their employment and housing. By referral to health and welfare agencies, and intorprGt�tion cf these ag0ncy services to tho people., tho Committee established a pattf:l�n of use of Chicago facill. tios, rather than the d,Jvolopmont o.f separate and far loss adequate facilities. In January, 1947_9 Brother Thoophano Walsh resigned from his position as direc tor of tho CYO Nisei Center, duo to ill health.

Nisei Center at 1::.10 Nortn LaSci.J.lo St,·oot, are be:lng made availa.blo to tho personnel of t�o Chicago Rosottlcrs Committee, for tho uso of tho Japanoso comrrilnity hero in Chicago� It is tho understanding of tho Chicago Rosottlors Committee that all on-going projects shalJ. continue at tho Nisoi Center,. as well as all other' activities that might bo spcnso::-od l·y tho Rcsottl0rs Ccmm�.ttoo, and that those projects 0.11d o.ctivit::.os &h'll.l be o.dministerod o.nd supervised for them by their oxocut.ivc d�£octor. .. 1 - It is further understood that the Nisei Center at 1110 North LaSalle Street will be open to the Japanese people irrespective of religious beliefs, and that no discrimination or favoritism shall be shown any one particular group or groups, The maintenance of tho building shall be continued by the C.Y.O., through tho generosity of His Excellency Bishop Sheil, with the exception of the telephone or telephones. • It is further recommended that towards tho end of the year 1947, the President of the Chicago Resottlers Comm:i.ttee, together with his executive director and cabinet, shall evaluate the needs of the Jo.po.nose community, and shall confer with Mrs Charles Smith, Executive Director of the C.Y&O�, towards tho purpose of contin uing tho C.Y.O. Nisei Center as a community project, or as a privately financed o.nd managed project." COMMUNITY TREND Employment Generally speaking, tho employment of Japanese Americans in the Chicago area indico.tes o. fo.vor£,blo future. Heretofore, we have not faced many "problem co.sos" and discriminatory practices; o.nd in tho professional field most firms have been willing to employ rcscttlcrs on the basis of individual merit rather than color of tho skin or religious affil:i. a tiono Consequently, young people are encouraged to train themselves for tho future. Many Nisei ex-Gls uro coming in from various communities $ as far as from tho West Coasto It is encouraging to note that many resettlors arc enrolled in institutions of high er learning in almost o.11 fields and professions. .. Tho contribution mo.de by the resettlers· during the war years has continued to win the confidence of tho cmployc::s and the number of employment calls received at tho Rosottlcrs Committee office is indicati7e of this confidence. Those who wore employed as unskilled laborers during war time, in almost all instances :, have now attained tho status of scmi�·skillod or skilled workers ., thus� earning higher wngos. Many of them arc holding responsible positions in firms and have won tho respect of their co-workers. For example� a young man who was trained in one of the colleges on tho West Coast has now achieved an executive position in a promising business firm. A number of examples can bo cited of rosottlers holding supervisory or foromon t s positions. Many Niso1 women have found thomsolvos positions with institutions or business firms,. It is particularly noteworthy that Nisei are cmpJ.oyod by numerous social agencies > either as professional or cloric�l workers. The factories continue to employ tho bulk of tho rosottlers. As we look at the future of Nisei in the field of employment, we can bo fairly optomistic. This is based on their efficiency and conscicncious ef forts which have won the confidence of their employers and co-workers. Tho majority of tho Issci have rouchod the point where their earning power is limited. However, they have earned tho respect of employers and are - 2 - • working in various factories. It can be said that tho I�sei have passed their peak of productivity in the field of employment; so the tendency has been for the Issoi to hold easy jobs, It is regretablo that some of them aro forcing themselves to work 50 to 60 hours per week in an effort to make ends meet� or trying to make up the time lost in the relocation centers. The opportunities for employment in the larger Chicago community aro such that unless thetc is a particular incentive to work for Japanese American firms, tho tondeney i s t o be employed by others. The Committee is not unaware of the particular susceptibility of Issei as well as Nisei to rola.tively subtle forms of exploitation. Their circum stances force them to work hard and long for the money they earn. Inexper ienced in union participation and discriminated against by some unions, many of them do not yet realize that a good union can be of groat advantage to them. Housing Ono of the most urgent adjustment needs for rcsottlers is housing, which, of course, is not exceptional to them. But because the rcscttlers arc re lative newcomers, it has boon extremely difficult to tind suitable housing accomodations. Tho trend of movement of rosottlcrs, as far as housing is concerned, is that they first move into the Near North Side area and grad ually move into the North ., South and Wost side areas, wherever they find housing. It is said that approximately 10 $ 000 rcsottlors arc now residing on the South side ., o.pproximatcly 5;000 on tho Near North side and possibly another 5 ., 000 on tho North and Wost sides. Many roscttlors have purchased apartments, hotels ., houses, and many have leased rooming houses to accomodate other resottlors. It is surprising to note that very few roscttlcrs aro occupying public housing. Housing on tho Near North side reveals a most unfortunate situation. The rooms a.re small and sor;ricos arc negligible and three or four persons arc frequently crowded into a one or two room kitchen ette apartment. \ The housing shortage has been the cause of many co.sos of delinquency and marital difficulties. Rescttlcrs who have managed to find housing either on the far North or far South sides have better arrangement in living con ditions. Boarding houses mushroomed throughout tho city ., but they give a feeling of insecurity� due to its temporary arrangement and monotony. For instance ., the boarders are fed the so.me menu rcgo.rdless of likes and dislikes. Some Sha.re their rooms while still others have to sho.rc their bods with strangers .. Services in housing rendered by the Chicago Rosettlers Committee a.re inade quate in comparison with the number of requests received from rosettlers. fhoir awareness of tho housing situation was soon in the recent election ., when many Nisei supported tho bond issue for slum clearance. )1: 't •, .i..._- .\..} I Refcr:i:-o.l Tho rosottlors o.ro beginning to understand Chico.go c ommunity resources through tho rcforro.l services rendo!'ed by tho Rosettlers Conm1j_ tto c th:cough direct referrals or through publi.cl.tyo It is hoo.:ctening to note tho.t social o.gencios in Chico.go ho.vo incroo.sed their services to persons o� Jo.po.nose o.ncostry since tho purticipo.tion of the Chico.go Re settlers Commi ttco in the Cot1.ncil of Soc io.l Agencies.

We have found them o. ho.rd working and thrifty people, animated by desire to found o. now homo in o. tolerant comrrunity, which would oncouro.go building for o. happy life for themselves and their children.

Tho Chico.go Congrogo.tiono.l Union voted o.n allocation of �1,200.00 for 1946, with th o understanding tho.t there would be o. tote.I budget of o.p proximo.toly $6,500.00 o.nd tho.t contributions would be secured from the No.tiono.l Congregc,tiono.l Committee on Christian Democro.cy ., the C ommunity Trust, o.nd other orgo.nizo.tions. Tho work wo.s curried on in 1946 with Mr. Corky Ko..wo.so.ki o.s Executive Director, with no o.dditiono.l stuff except o. secretary for o. po.rt of the yoo.r. During tho first your it wo.s recognized tho.t there wo.s greo.t need for o. recreo.tiono.l program o.nd facilities for Jo.po.neso Americans, und for co.po.blo loo.dcrship to direct this program.

OUR PERSPECTIVES With each passing yco:r, Jnpanese :.mericans have become more a pnrt of their community, more settled ru1d cble to cope with their problems. It is the principal ni..'11 of tho c1gency to nid Japo.ncse ;_mericmis become integrated into their communities ., to work with others towards a personally satisfying life within the context of socinl goals. Interpretation of the needs of the Japnnose .t..moricnns to other agencies, and tho encourage ment of Ja.pru1esc /,moricnn participation to iJnprovc tho socinl, economic, and political life of tho community and the nation arc methods which would help renlizc both the imi:1odinte mid finnl objectives of the Committee. The coming ycnr will probably usher in new problems. With governmental spending, job opportunities will increase, which may moan more migration into nnd out of Chict>.go, with further need for good er,1ployment and housing services. It is an opportune time for the o.goncy to find now areas of employment ., to worl� with unions ru1d :nQ..tingoment for bettor jobs and a training progrrun for youth. Furthermore, tho agency should provide vocationnl guidance to Nisei youth, through referrals nnd individunl counselling. :.go.in, it must provide the cost housing and redevelopment register for them. _·.ssistnncc interested in buying homos and i.mcrican rcsottlcrs.

Annual Report 2007-2008 For almost 11 years former Executive Director Jean Fu jiu was the face of the JASC. She represented the organization at private and public functions and gatherings in the Japanese and Asian American communities, as well as to the city at-large. Jean also was a visible participant in agency and community activities, attending not only as JASC's leader, but as an individual truly interested in Japanese American culture and history, who wanted to learn, listen, see, do and preserve the legacy left to us by our forebears. But more importantly, Jean's was the hand at the helm as the agency grew its cultural programming and embarked on strategic partnering initiatives with other organizations. In doing so the JASC's reach expanded, and for the first time people outside the Japanese American community were coming to its exhibitions, performances and programs. She helped poise the agency for a sea-change. The JASC board of directors, staff, members and others within Chicago's Japanese American community are indebted to Jean for her untiring work on our behalf. This is the type of debt that can never be repaid, but we can say, Domo arigato gozaimasu, and wish her the best of fortune in all her future endeavors. Four years ago the board of directors and staff members of the Japanese American Service Committee met to discuss the future of the organization. Of paramount importance was addressing this question: How could the JASC remain a vital and vibrant organization in the wake of the imminent passing of the founding generation of Nisei? Led in great part by the vision of former Executive Director Jean Fujiu, it was determined that to remain relevant in today's society, the JASC would need to be systemically transformed from an ethnic-based organization to an extroverted, inclusive one. It must remain an agency where Japanese American culture and heritage is preserved and cherished, nurtured and grown, and social services are imbued with Japanese American values, but all activities would be open and directed to the greater multicultural community in the Midwest. This shift in paradigm requires that we overcome the weight of 60 years of organizational history and over 100 years as immigrant Americans with very real reasons to remain unobtrusive, blending in with our fellow Americans. It would require that the JASC not only literally open its doors to all interested parties, but loudly proclaim, "We are different; we are here." As an organization in the midst of such decisive change, we are working to fulfill our three primary strategic goals. We are learning to become the JASC we need to be. And we are Gaining Momentum. 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. A variety of highly professional programs) services and events will be offered at the center, with specialized programming being developed for families) children) teens) young adults and seniors. Concurrent use of the facility by different groups would be fostered) so that all members of the community can feel comfortable utilizing the facility at any time) and the environment helps build) not fractional1ze that feeling of community Adult Day Services (above and right) is the "home away from home" for some 20-30 seniors each weekday. This model program does not use televisions to entertain seniors. Staff members and volunteers engage them in discussions on current events, and lead seniors in peer-to-peer group games, exercise and other activities that help stabilize their mental, physical, emotional and social well-being. Staff nurses work closely with family members to ensure that the needs of our seniors are being met, at home and at the JASC. Our current facility has been described as "having an ambience somewhere between a l 970's light-industrial warehouse and your grandmother's sewing room." But what the JASC Community Center currently lacks in decor, it more than makes up for with energy, sustenance, acceptance, and programs of substance. No matter what time of day or day of the week, the JASC is bustling with purposeful activity. It holds a special place in the hearts of thousands of people of all ages and ethnicities who visit it on a regular basis -whether that basis is daily, weekly, or annually. Tampopo Kai (right) is a unique bilingual, bicultural Japanese/English program for preschoolers. Many of the 30-40 children and their parents are Japanese nationals. Other children are Japanese American, of multiple ethnicities (Hapa), or not of Japanese ancestry at all. Whatever the case, they all share, learn, dance, sing and play in an accepting and caring atmosphere. Poignantly showcasing the value of the JASC as a mixed-use facility, the Tampopo kids perform for the Adult Day Services seniors on Japanese and American holidays. TREASURES from the Legacy Center The JASC Legacy Center is an archive and library that collects, preserves and makes historical resources from the Japanese American community in metro Chicago available to others for research and reference purposes. This past year, staff members provided reference services to over 100 individual researchers and groups, taught off-site archival workshops, and contributed to the national on-line Discover Nikkei project. The preservation and use -for research and educational purposes (left) -of historical documents, images and objects from the Chicago Japanese American community is a matter of prime importance to the JASC. Social Work services can take many forms. JASC's licensed clinical social workers provide individual and group counseling, and provide outreach services to isolated seniors. They also plan care with seniors and their families, and, unique to JASC, follow-through to evaluate care and intercede as necessary. The activitybased Out of the House program (left) emphasizes keeping seniors physically and psychologically healthy. 3 The JASC is the de facto Community Center for Japanese Americans in the Chicagoland area. Each December hundreds gather to do a little specialty shopping, eat great food, have fun, and just get together at Holiday Delight/ Kodomo Matsuri (above and top right). Hundreds come to the JASC for more than just fun and food. Our biannual Health Screenings (right) and free flu vaccines (in conjunction with the Chicago Department of Aging and the Chicago Department of Public Health), help community members stay well. The JASC also serves daily hot lunch to seniors as a member of Chicago's Golden Diners program, and hosts special presentations on insurance for seniors and an AARP driver safety course, offered in both Japanese and English. With Tohkon Judo Academy, JASC is the site of the annual New Year celebration Kagami Biraki. It is a day-long celebration starting with the traditional steaming, pounding (right) and rolling of sweet rice into the dessert mochi. A Shinto purification ceremony, Japanese drumming, judo demonstration and potluck feast complete the event. With its commitment to cultivating Japanese culture in America and making it our own, the JASC offers classes (left, top to bottom) in Sumi-e (ink painting), Shamisen (Japanese 3-stringed lute), Origami (paper folding), Japanese cooking, and also Taiko (Japanese drumming), Shinobue (Japanese flute), Ikebana (flower arranging), Tai Chi and Japanese Language . The JASC also serves as home to a number of cultural partners and community organizations, including the JASC Tsukasa Taiko, Fujima of Chicago ( classical Japanese dance, Ryu bottom right), Tohkon Judo Academy (below), Northside Friends, Stir Friday Night! (Asian American improvisational comedy troupe), Nisei Post no. 1183, Thursday Dance group, New Horizons, and Cooperative Investors. The Japanese Mutual Aid Society, Leadership Center for Asian Pacific Americans Community Leadership Program, Kyushu Kai, Asian American lnsitutue, and Asian Giving Circle also used the JASC for gatherings this year. Reach out to the dispersed Japanese American population and beyond, offering broader services, partnering and coordinating with other organizations to share resources and consolidate efforts. This includes the development of the infrastructure and capacity needed for the support of outreach programming. The expanded staffing, communication, transportation and facility needs required to deliver and support satellite programming and services would also be developed, so that they provide an alternative delivery site for some of the programs and services located at the destination center. For reasons that probably lie somewhere between politically-motivated racism and democracy in action, there has never been a "Japan Town" or "Little Tokyo" in Chicago. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, some Japanese Americans continued their migration into middle class acceptance by joining the "White Flight" to the suburbs, further dispersing the ethnic community. The JASC has always been about coming together. Reaching out is a newer development. Through our research initiatives, cultural performances and educational efforts, we have begun this part of our journey. Home Support Services (left) provide essential in-home help to seniors to allow them to maintain their independent living. An average of 20 seniors were provided with basic housekeeping duties, shopping, meal preparation and/ or escort service each week. Funded by the United Way Chicago Metropolitan and Suburban Venture Investment Funds, JASC conducted an Isolated Nikkei Elders Assessment Project. The initial report (left) was released this year, and work continues on planning the delivery of the services most needed by isolated seniors in the city and suburbs. JASC continued its outreach into the community, participating in the National Night Out against Crime with the 23rd Police District Diversity against Violence parade and community gathering (below). Staff members, volunteers and JASC Tsukasa Taiko participated. .. The JASC exhibit Origins of Now: ReBuilding Community was on display at the State of Illinois building (above), and also on view at the Association for Asian American Studies national conference. Much of our cultural outreach is performed by our cultural partner Fujima Ryu of Chicago (top left), and the JASC Tsukasa Taiko (left and below). Both of these groups performed dozens of times around the Midwest this year, including many at high-visibility venues. 7 1 .;:;!;dl:in..:..1:ting manner among all Japanese American community organizations, and look for a commonality of purpose and opportunities for collaboration. As the largest non-sectarian locus of Japanese Americans, and the organization with the most community resources, the JASC will strive to collaborate and coordinate with , other community organ1zations for the betterment of all. The development of teens and young adults into community leaders will be another organizational focus. Taking a leadership role within a self-effacing community is a tricky thing. As the Honorable Norman Mineta told us when he visited JASC, when he was contemplating a decision to enter public life in San Jose, his father told him to do what he believed right, but that he should be prepared to be "the sticking up nail." Organization-wide, the JASC is standing up. Within the Japanese American and greater mudi-cultural community in Chicago, our goal is to partner with others who would also strive to make a difference, and bring positive change to individuals and society in general. We are seeking to provide leadership, but are committed to doing so on a collaborative basis. Our focus is on growth, learning and the betterment of all, and in this effort we will not be bent. The JASC was able to collaborate with Nisei Post no. 1183 in hosting a Go for Broke National Education Center presentation with General Eric Shinseki (Rec., above), and with the Chicago JACL chapter to host a town hall meeting (left) with the National Parks Service regarding proposed uses of a government appropriation to honor the Japanese American World War II internees. The JASC Community Mural Project (above) brought rogether people of all ages, each with his or her own reason for becoming involved in paying homage to the Japanese American experience. Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education was an invaluable partner in helping this dream project become a reality. The JASC partnered with Tohkon Judo Academy, JACL and the Asian American Law Enforcement Association in another wonderful Community Picnic, which was a great day for all, although, fittingly, more so for the kids (right and top right). The JASC Legacy Center continues to work on documenting the stories of those who lived through evacuation, internment, and resettlement in Chicago. With Nisei Post no. 1183, Chicago Japanese American Historical Society, and Asian Improv aRts Midwest, the JASC is also preparing a local component (below) to be shown alongside the national Military Intelligence Service exhibit, which will be in Chicago in 2010. Congratulations to future leaders and scholarship award honorees (above, from left) Michael Bart, Laura Terumi Yamasaki, Michelle Nitahara, Mari Yamagiwa, Paul Kato, Ryan Miyashiro and Crystal Banks (not shown), and to our scholarship donors (see page 14). Dear Friends, I am proud and pleased to report that JASC in 2008 did not experience any semblance of a "sophomore slump" or similar letdown after such a successful 2007 during which we celebrated our 60th anniversary. In fact, if I could be so bold as to say that we matched or topped 2007! As you will see from this year's annual report, our past fiscal year can best be described as one of growth and change. The JASC board of directors and staff continue to work closely together toward refining our programs and services in ways to better serve the community. During the past year, we welcomed new additions to the staff that assist us in far-reaching capacities: a new Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a new Controller, new Adult Day Service activity leaders, a new Marketing and Development professional, a new receptionist, new staff for Home Support Services, and a Cultural Programs Curator. Our growing team allows us to provide direct services and cultural programs to more people in the community and at increasingly higher levels of quality. With each passing year, JASC receives more recognition for the work we do and the success of our outreach efforts is continuously exemplifi ed by the new people we welcome through our doors at 4427 N. Clark Street. While the economic climate continues to challenge families, businesses and organizations alike, I am optimistic that JASC is well-positioned to make the necessary adjustments for us to continue advancing our quality social services and cultural programs in ways that impact an even broader audience. Please stop by and witness first-hand the energy going into making all this possible. We are deeply indebted to our financial supporters, friends, volunteers, and clients, for without whom all our accomplishments would indeed not be possible. JASC is truly your organization! Thank you for your support and assistance. Sincerely, Michael D.

We'd like to speak to those areas in a bit more detail. As it relates to our social services programs, we remain focused on providing an outstanding client experience. In addition, we are working hard to ensure that our program supervisors are coordinating effectively with each ocher for potential cross referrals, while also pursuing new ways of obtaining social service clients so chat our programs can operate closer to capacity. In the area of culcural classes and programming, we are striving to increase the quality of the instruction while maintaining our diverse class offerings. We have seen increased accendance recently for many of our offerings, including Japanese Language classes as well as Tampopo Kai, our children's program. We also continue to host a variety of other culcural activities, such as book signings. In terms of administration, we continue to enhance che quality of our financial and management reporting. We have developed new management reports that allow us to beccer monitor and understand our performance. On the development side, we have identified a number of new funding sources and will be looking to significantly increase che number of grants we will be writing for in the coming year. As a staff, we remain strongly commicced to carrying out the agency's Mission and working with the board of directors, members, clients, guests and community members in true partnership. Thank you.

The mapping moves from homes on the West Coast (red circles) to internment camps (orange squares) and finally to resettlement in Chicago. • ¦ ¦ • The students were made aware of the history of Japanese Americans during World War II by interviewing Japanese American commmunity leaders who had lived through these experiences. From their interviews students learned that the forced migration had permanent effects, not only on the Issei and Nisei who had experienced it, but also on the future generations of)apanese Americans . •• ¦ • • Mapping out this movement was done to show the huge changes that the internment wrought . This is why there is still a relatively large population of Japanese Americans in Chicago. ¦ Japanese American Se.ce C m1ttee 4427 N.

the Scenes of Another Outstanding Year The Japanese American Service Committee has always been, at heart, a community organization. The board of directors and staff know that it is the energy, commitment and dedication of our members and the JASC o munity at large that help drive the agency forward each year. During this past year's 60th Anniversary celebrations, hundreds of community members of all ages volunteered thousands of hours of their time and energy to make our events memorable, meaningful and enjoyable for all. Here are just a few examples of our many volunteers in action. We hope you had a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labors (and those of the staff and board) during our 60th Anniversary events. Domo arigato gozaimasu to all! Origins of Now: ReBuilding Community An extensive series of programs to highlight and celebrate JASC's 60th anniversary year was planned by a committee of board and staff members. Partnering with the Japanese American Citizens League OACL), Chicago Japanese American Historical Society (CJAHS), Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (CAPE), Asian Improv aRts Midwest, Fujima Ryu of Chicago and Tohkon Judo Academy, a full year of special events was presented to the greater Chicago community. The programs served as a first look into Japanese American culture and history for many, and a re-establishment of roots, values and heritage for those in the Japanese American community. To focus our celebrations, an exhibit exploring the question Why is there a sizable Japanese American population in Chicago? was mounted. Using information, artifacts and photographs mostly pulled from JASC's Legacy Center archive, the historical component of Origins of Now: ReBuilding Community took shape. Alongside it, an installation of contemporary art created by Chicago Public School students added depth and emotion. An estimated 4,000-5,000 people -many of whom were learning about the history of Japanese in America for the first time -toured the exhibit. While these special events were being planned and held, JASC continued to deliver high quality social and wellness services alongside its cultural and heritage programming and classes. The board and staff successfully completed about 80% of the Year 1 objectives from its strategic plan, and all remained focused on the three long-term goals: • developing JASC as a destination center; • continuing to reach out to the dispersed Japanese American population and broader community; and • providing leadership in a consensus-building, facilitating manner. Core Services Since its founding in 1946, JASC has maintained a focus on providing much needed services to seniors. All of the agency's social services and wellness programs have in common a goal to allow seniors to maintain their independent living at a high quality of life for as long as possible. Originally founded to provide support to Chicago's Japanese Americans, JASC now serves a multi-ethnic population.

This needs e ve tigated isolated Nikkei seniors in Chicago an th suburbs,to determine what services JASC should be providing that would enable them to maintain their independence and age with dignity. Five areasof needs (psychological and cultural, safety, social, financial, and service and assistance) were identified, barriers and strengths were examined, and potential approaches and strategies for effective interventionswere defined. The planning of the Wellness Outreach services continues. 2 Exercises, craft projects, games and other group activities are conducted by the staff. A hot lunch, provided by the Chicago Department of Aging's Golden Diners program, and served by staff and volunteers, along witha morning and afternoon snack, keep the seniors energized during the day. Staffnurses continually evaluate the participants' daily performances, and work closely with family members make sureall needs are met as they arise. JASC's Counseling department provides a variety of programs to support whole-person well-being, from individual therapy sessions to ongoing group activities. An average of 26 clients each month participate in the various programs. JASC is able to provide psychotherapy to individuals and families in Japanese and English. Therapy sessions are reimbursed through Medicare for qualifying clients. The Jukunenekai support group at Heiwa Terrace, led by a volunteer, had eight attendees, on average. Eight senior women regularly attended the Out of the House group twice a week. They are led through exercises, crafts and group activities. They also just spend time talking with each other, an opportunity they would not get sitting at home alone. Home Support Services is JASC's longest-running program. Staff members provide housekeeping services, as well as much-needed social interaction and emotional support to seniors living indepen dently. Many of the program's clients live alone in apartments at Heiwa Terrace in the Uptown neighborhood. This past year 2 3 3 clients were served a total of 4,675 hours and provided with personal care, housekeeping, shopping, escort and related services. Cultural Programs JASC continues to be a vital resource for people interested in learning more about Japanese culture or pursuing excellence in their chosen art or sport. Cultural classes -including cooking, Sumi-e, Taiko, judo, dance, Tai Chi, Japanese language, Shamisen, ceramics and Origami -attract hundreds of people of all ages and ethnicities to the JASC each week. 007 Community Service Awardee aron Harada, JASC's assistant executive director ltural and community affairs coordinator, was the State of Illinois with a Humanitarian Service Aw F resented to her by Secretary of State Jesse 1. during Asian Pacific American Heritage month celebrations. The award was made to Sharon in recognition of her 45 years working and volunteering in the Japanese American community. 4 Community Center Having a meeting place, whether for a few or hundreds at a time, is a vital resource in any community. For Japanese Americans, JASC fulfills that role. Besides providing organizations with a place to meet, worship, dance, rehearse and learn, JASC is host to community-wide events like Kodomo Matsuri/Holiday Delight and Kagami Biraki New Year's Celebration. Legacy Center Known to researchers, historians and educators as a local treasure trove of Chicago's Japanese American history, the JASC Legacy Center and staff serviced 101 research and referral requests and accepted 3 5 donations this past year. The collection includes documents, photographs, publications and artifacts donated by members of Chicago's Nikkei community. The vast majority of the material used for reference or o display in the Origins of Nw exhibit was from the JASC's own archive. Origins ofNow Exhibit Origins of Now: ReBuilding Communi-iy told the story of Americans of Japanese descent, from immigration, through World War II, to resettlement in Chicago. Although the exhibit spanned a 60-year period, a large portion was devoted to trying to understand and illuminate the rebuilding of lives, families and community here in Chicago, for this was our unique story of perseverance, acceptance and triumph during a time of open hatred and racism. Partnerships & JASC once again partnered with JACL and CJAHS for the annual Day of Remembrance program, this year presenting historian Greg Robinson, author of By Order of the President: FDR and the Internment of Japanese Americans. The Origins of Now exhibit could not have been accomplished without the support of many partners (see page 13), but it was the involvement of CAPE and teachers and students at Mark Sheridan Math/Science Academy and N orthside College Prep that added emotional depth to the historic exhibit with their creation of sophisticated artwork reflecting what they had learned from interviewing some of our community leaders who had lived through the racism, forced evacuation, internment and resettlement. cholarship Award Winners SC was honored to be able to award scholarships to v eserving high school graduates who exemplified them rough their academic achievements and This year's honorees rom 1 er · Yamagiwa, Kenji Morimoto, Justin Harada Rowland, Palmejar-Takaki, and Lauren Massa Segal. The students and audience were treated to a special performance by JASC Tsukasa Taiko instructors. 8 Performances JASC's resident partners all helped make the year's worth of 60th Anniversary events a community success. The Asian American Law Enforcement Association, Chicago Nisei Post no. 1183, Japanese Mutual Aid Society of Chicago, New Horizons, Tampopo Club and Tohkon Judo Academy provided much-needed manpower, energy and expertise. The 60th Anniversary also featured performances from our resident artists. Asian Improv aRts Midwest, Fujima of Chicago, Stir-Friday Night! and Ryu JASC Tsukasa Taiko all staged special presentations, free to the public. Dear Friends, It is amazing that just a year ago we were looking forward to commemorating our 60th anniversary, envisioning the Origins of Now: ReBuilding Community exhibit and performance series. This was a year that exceeded expectations and had some wonderful surprises such as the visit from former U. S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, for our program, To Honor the Resettlers. This was a year of making meaningful memories enriched by bringing together longstanding friends and new friends in special and successful collaborations. In addition to our primary partners: Asian Improv aRts Midwest, the Chicago Japanese American Historical Society and the Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education, there were many more individuals, groups, organizations, corporations and foundations that made our vision a reality. It has been a rare opportunity to learn about our beginnings. Everything that I've learned has deepened the pride and respect that I have for the Issei and Nisei leadership that rebuilt the community and made Chicago our home. What also impressed me about our founding leadership, is that they were committed to the values of collaboration and diversity. In the annual report from 1946, it is clear that the board and advisory council were intentionally diverse in race, ethnicity, gender and religion. These are values that we, at the JASC, are committed to today. Everything this year was conceived and developed with that same commitment to collaboration and diversity. It was not just an exhibit -it was an unprecedented combination of history and artistic interpretation -it was a performance series, a mural project, a dynamic ongoing initiative. The synergy of people coming ether, sharing similar values, having respect for one r and with a passion for the same vision, gives Mission The mission of the Japanese American Service Committee 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. 10 us the momentum to pursue that vision. When the vision is inspiring, compelling and important, people are attracted to making the vision a reality. We feel so fortunate that this happened in so many ways this past year. There is a Japanese word, "kimochi," which means feeling. A lot of kimochi has developed this past year. It is at the heart of our efforts to redefine and rebuild our community today. While these exciting and public cultural heritage programs were going on, we were also quietly accomplishing another initiative that is just as important in our mission to serve the community we made a qualitative assessment of the health access issues of Nikkei elders. Thanks to continuing support from United Way, and with valuable consultation from our Community Advisory Board, we will be planning an expansion of services based on what we learned. So often our community has been buffeted by waves of racism and national tragedy. We have had to deal with circumstances beyond our control. To survive we have had to draw on our resilience, our fighting spirit, our "gaman," our endurance and our persistence in order to rebuild our community. The JASC has adapted and changed in order to serve the changing needs of the community. Whether through social services, or cultural heritage programs, we have the strength as well as the flexibility to serve the community into the future. Today, we are in a position to create positive waves, to celebrate diversity, to share our rich culture and heritage and to expand our community. Thank you for all that you have done to rebuild our community then, now and for the future. In deepest gratitude, Jean Fujiu JASC Executive Director Vision ·on of the JASC is to promote and provide ality services and innovative wailable to all, from a f Japanese American culture. Dear Supporters, agree with me that the JASC core values are pres What an exciting and rewarding year 2007 turned out for JASC as we celebrated out 60th anniversary! It was wonderful to reconnect and celebrate with so many old friends and acquaintances at the numerous programs and activities throughout the year. It is also important to recognize the fact that it was through the collective efforts of many people, staff and volunteers, partners, companies, corporations and organizations coming together that made last year the success it was. I want to take this opportunity to direct your attention to the relationship between all the activities, programs, and services highlighted in this year's annual report and the various initiatives outlined in JASC's strategic plan. The Board and staff continue to use this living document as the guide by which we use for all our planning and implementation. I hope you can ent throughout all the work we do and provide to the community. Our near term plans are indeed ambitious as we identify new ways to broaden our capabilities for impacting more people. Additionally, we continue to assess our physical space to determine how best to create a facility that can truly be a "Destination Center" for the community. Change is very much in the air at JASC as we continue to make improvements and adapt to the changing environment in which we operate. Thank you for your support and assistance for helping us be so successful. Sincerely, Michael D. Takada President, JASC Board of Directors Strategic Plan Long-Term 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. A variety of highly professional programs, services and events would be offered at the center, with specialized programming being developed for families, children, teens, young adults and seniors. Concurrent use of the facility by different groups would be fostered, so that all members of the community can feel comfortable utilizing the facility at any time, and the environment helps build, not fractionalize that feeling of community. 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 needed for the support of outreach programming. To meet the needs of a Japanese American population scattered throughout Chicagoland and the Midwest, satellite programming and services would be developed. The expanded staffing, communication, transportation and facility needs required to deliver and support these new programs would also be developed, so that they provided an alternative delivery site for some of the programs and services located at the destination center. 3. Leadership Provide leadership in a consensus-building, facilitating manner among all Japanese American community organizations, and look for a commonality of purpose and opportunities for collaboration. As the largest non-sectarian locus of Japanese Americans, and the organization with the most community resources, the JASC will strive to collaborate and coordinate with other community organizations for the betterment of all. The development of teens and young adults into community leaders will be another organizational focus. Special Thanks Isolated Nikkei Elders Assessment Project Through this qualitative assessment project, the JASC sought to take a deeper look into the needs and strengths of isolated Nikkei elders. Reaching out across a wider geographic area and to engage participants who could give us a comprehensive view was essential to the effective completion of this study. Attempting this feat would not have been possible without the cooperation and support of many local Nikkei organizations, groups, and individuals. The JASC is grateful for their generosity.

The mapping moves from homes on the West Coast (red circles) to internment camps (orange squares) and finally to resettlement in Chicago. • ¦ ¦ • The students were made aware of the history of Japanese Americans during World War II by interviewing Japanese American commmunity leaders who had lived through these experiences. From their interviews students learned that the forced migration had permanent effects, not only on the Issei and Nisei who had experienced it, but also on the future generations of)apanese Americans . •• ¦ • • Mapping out this movement was done to show the huge changes that the internment wrought . This is why there is still a relatively large population of Japanese Americans in Chicago. ¦ Japanese American Se.ce C m1ttee 4427 N.

Skilled and professional people a premium, and graduates of collGgos found lucrative employment. in the unskilled category, tho job picture was spotty and wages were In 1951, 1192 people sought help on employment referral. The drop of 551 people or 31% less than 1950, or 50% less than 1949 reflects 1) the general high level of employment, 2) the fact that Japanese are utilizing other resources in Chicago� The peak in January and June follow the traditional layoffs at the beginning of the year and the mid-year influx of students into the labor market o During the year, contacts were made with labor unions for the first t:iJne, so t:iat the agency was able to get their help in broadening job opportunities. Profassional, business organizations, and colleGe vocational offices were tapped as resources ,, Through cooperation with the American Friends Service Committee and Employment Committees of city-wide groups, the employment field was widened, especially in the loon stores and in insurance. Individual counselfog for college trained and skilled people was offered with special attention given to their placement. In order to help youth realize the great potentialities for professional and trained people, a vocational guidance conference was instituted to present not only 11 experts 11 on employment trends, but successful Japanese in diverse fields. - 5 - housing 60 1951 -- 556 Housing is Chicago's number one problem -- and the most pressing one for resettlers. One of the reasons for the migration of Japanese to the West Coast is the lack of decent housing'-' During the year there was also much movement in the city; and it is our belief that the largest concentration of Japanese are now on 1) the south side -- Oakland-•Konwood, advancing further south or moving to the far north; 2) lower north -- around Clark and Division with its Japanese shops and restaurants; and 3) far north -- near 4800 and Broadway. In 1951 there was an increase in the number of people seeking housing referrals. Contacts were made with the Chica�o Housing Authority to press for openings in public housing; however, most of tho applicants had hi:per incomes than were aJ.loued under the CHA� Apart from utilizing the file on apartments (most of uhich arc owned by Japanese landlords), very little was done because of lack of time and funds, and because it was felt that this problem was so broad in scope it could not be solved by one small agency for one group of people� Thus the Resettlers participated in s ome of the activities of the Housing Conference of Chicago. Several cases of discrimination in housing were settled satisfactorily with the cooperation of the Commission on Human Relations,. social welfare A conference of social workers and agency people was called to determine the social welfare problems of Japanese Americansb The conference revealed 1) there are Japanese American social workers serving in many agencies throughout the city; 2) Japanese are beginning to utilize agencies and are more aware of the services that are available; 3) juvenile delinquency is very- low; 4) more adoptive homes by Japanese are received now by children• s agencies. ;_ 6 - In the office, there was an increase in case work necessary to make the proper. referralso Extensive consultation was carried on with other agencies on some cases. The single largest group of clients are the Issei aged who seek help for old age pensions, OASI, and unemployment compensation. recreation and education Recreation for Issei and Nisei was considered an important function.. With Nisei grcup workars employed in various settlement houses and agencies, a....-1.d with the continuation of the policy of encouraging use of community facilities, the Resettlers Committee did not operate an extensive recreation program for Nisei in the building.

Sunday Goh sessions remained very popular, aDd groups interested in poetry, literat.u-re, health, song, and drama continued to :.met. It is interesting to note that 70% of the activities in the building 1-1ere for Issei groups and organizations 9 19% for Nisei clubs and organizations, 6% mixed agency committees ., board meetings ,1 etc.,, 5% individuals. The City Wide Recreation Council focused its attention on the recreational needs of the young adult age group� sponsoring socials, outinzs, educational and ser,ice projects,. The Recreational Leac,ership Training Program attracted 168 leaders, with the program emphasis on underGtanding individual and group behavior as a way of solving organizational problems., The Girls Inter Club Council was reactivated to give concrete guidance to the nine girls clubs in the city. The Council sponsored dances, and a tea for college graduates, discussed club problems, and exchanged ideas for social and service projects� Sponsored activities drew a marked increase in• attendance .1 almost 2½ times more people attracted to the picnics, talent shou, Christmas program, and other events during the year. (See Appendix C). - 7 - IT WHAT ARE THE UNFINISHED TASKS? Alt}::o:lgh the status of Japan0se Arnerj_cans has improved and many are beginning to feel accepted and a part of Chicago life, our goal of integration and pa,ticipation in the communities is still in the future. A start has been made in helping Jape.nose Arr.eric311s relate their problems with those of other groups, and to seek a common solution beneficial to all. In 1052, this type of activity must be carried more vigorously, with tho utilization of new techniques of community organization and education� Attention must be paid towards improving the services of employment, housing, and social welfare :referrals. With Chicago the center of expansion of different types of industries, with the tight labor market in skilled and professionc1l work, the agency should 1) be pr8pm·ed for ne,,comers from other area seeking employment; 2) shift its attentton towards encouraging young and old lJOrkers to increase their knowledge and skills to talce advantage of new job opportunities; 3) bring to the attention of youth in high schools and colleges the importance of trainingo Individual counseling and speci�l attention towards the placement of skilled and professional people should be continueds In housing, interpretation of low cost housing, cooperative housing, and the efforts of organizations such as the Housing Conference of Chicago should be brought to the attention of the Japanese Americans. Intergr oup tensions should be noted und worked out., The listing of apartments has been valuable and more apartments should be notified of the a gc:=mcy service,. One of the projects recommended by the social service conference was a series of discussions focusing on the effects of culture on Japarn;,se American personality; and an interpretation of these problems to social agencies� Another source of concern to the agency is the specinl problem of the Issei aged, and it is felt that a study should 1.Je made so that intelligent and real:..stic recommendations can be followed� Attention should be brought on foster homes, adoptive homes, the services of different agencies through news paper and magazine articles, talks, and other m.ediao The City Hide necreation Council will continue its activities with young adults. However, euphasis will be on smaller groups and more effort will be directed towards intergroup activity� A neu type of leadership training program will be instituted reaching groups on their level. '• The agency uill hold a series of discussions on the role of the club advisor, the developmental needs of adolescents and young adults, and on other s ub,jects fer the advisors of all clubs and organizations in the city. The Inter Club Councll is plan:1ing to develop interesting progrmns on club problems, acquainting c:::..;1bs T�r 5_th a::;enciGs and facilities in tho cit:r,otc" und will put out its oun newspaper. - 8 - Problems of the kibci and Japanese war brides have not been touched by the agencyo An awareness of their problems and exploratory discussions should be made to determine how the agency might help. .. We have set ourselves many tasks for 1952. This may well be the year which will see oven greater strides in Japanese Ar:.orican integration in Chicago. 11ith the help of all the agencies, and above all tho Japanese Americans themselves, the Chicago n.osottlors can play a part in the still incomplete story of resettlement, - 9 - EXHI3TT I THE CHICAGO RESETTLERS cor,JMITTEE BALANCE SHEET AS OF DECEMBER 31., 1951 ASSETS CURRENT Cash on Cash in Cash in ASSETS: hand - General Fund bank ...

There is every indication that the Japanese America.�s are becoming adjusted and useful citizens of Chicago o It seems that activities and services of the Chicago Resettlers Committee are still in demand by the cormnunity. It is my sincere wish that everyone concerned will help us in every way possible to achieve our objectives socially, economically, and spiritually. In 1951, we bought our building. t·ihen we started the fund raising campaign for its purchase we were afraid that it would take at least three years to raise the amount needed. It was amazing that our goal was attained within the first six months after the campaign was started. It is encouraging to find such broad support from the entire community. Through the years the Chicago Resettlers Committee has • endeavored to help Japanese Americans. I hope that 1952 will be a year of greater accomplishment and a year in which we will draw nearer to the high ideals we have set before us. Jack K.

Within ten years ., great changes have come to pass in the world -- within one decade, vast strides have been made in the si;atus of Japanese in Americao In 1941, most Japanese .Americans lived on the West Coast in self-contained, segregated communities with very little contact with the outside world� Pearl Harbor brought suspicion of these people, and culminated in a �holesale evacuation of 115,000 people solely on the basis of their ancestry. The year 1941 is indelibly printed in the minds of Japanese .Americans as the start of a hysterical period of their �ejection •••• 1951 CLOSED WITH A GREATER DEGREE OF ACCEPI'ANCE THAN EVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED! There are many reasons why this change came to pass -- the efforts of understanding Americans, of principled individuals of all walks of life, of governmental a11d private agencies, and the • Japanese .Americans themselves. In Chicago ., ALL worked together to support and guide an organization, the Chicago Resettlers Committee help in the adjustment of people from the relocation campse The Chicago Resettlers Committee has played a small part in the large and rich story of resettlement -- and this annual report will present the role of one agency in one city in 1951. II WHAT IS THE CHICAGO RESETTL.ERS COMMITTEE? a. '"' ,- b a c k g r o u n d One of the great centers of Japanese .American relocation was Chicago - because its vast industrial concentration spelled jobs, and its warm friend-· liness meant security to the �rJ•-+- � . :/ ;. ---�-, '•• •. / ------····· i· . •,,,: ·- I I I l"' '• « .,_ j ':-., .if:-·- - -- . _.:____ - l , : �II --7 : ... ·-·1 :- -·-·--· 7 r!

Skilled and professional people a premium, and graduates of collGgos found lucrative employment. in the unskilled category, tho job picture was spotty and wages were In 1951, 1192 people sought help on employment referral. The drop of 551 people or 31% less than 1950, or 50% less than 1949 reflects 1) the general high level of employment, 2) the fact that Japanese are utilizing other resources in Chicago� The peak in January and June follow the traditional layoffs at the beginning of the year and the mid-year influx of students into the labor market o During the year, contacts were made with labor unions for the first t:iJne, so t:iat the agency was able to get their help in broadening job opportunities. Profassional, business organizations, and colleGe vocational offices were tapped as resources ,, Through cooperation with the American Friends Service Committee and Employment Committees of city-wide groups, the employment field was widened, especially in the loon stores and in insurance. Individual counselfog for college trained and skilled people was offered with special attention given to their placement. In order to help youth realize the great potentialities for professional and trained people, a vocational guidance conference was instituted to present not only 11 experts 11 on employment trends, but successful Japanese in diverse fields. - 5 - housing 60 1951 -- 556 Housing is Chicago's number one problem -- and the most pressing one for resettlers. One of the reasons for the migration of Japanese to the West Coast is the lack of decent housing'-' During the year there was also much movement in the city; and it is our belief that the largest concentration of Japanese are now on 1) the south side -- Oakland-•Konwood, advancing further south or moving to the far north; 2) lower north -- around Clark and Division with its Japanese shops and restaurants; and 3) far north -- near 4800 and Broadway. In 1951 there was an increase in the number of people seeking housing referrals. Contacts were made with the Chica�o Housing Authority to press for openings in public housing; however, most of tho applicants had hi:per incomes than were aJ.loued under the CHA� Apart from utilizing the file on apartments (most of uhich arc owned by Japanese landlords), very little was done because of lack of time and funds, and because it was felt that this problem was so broad in scope it could not be solved by one small agency for one group of people� Thus the Resettlers participated in s ome of the activities of the Housing Conference of Chicago. Several cases of discrimination in housing were settled satisfactorily with the cooperation of the Commission on Human Relations,. social welfare A conference of social workers and agency people was called to determine the social welfare problems of Japanese Americansb The conference revealed 1) there are Japanese American social workers serving in many agencies throughout the city; 2) Japanese are beginning to utilize agencies and are more aware of the services that are available; 3) juvenile delinquency is very- low; 4) more adoptive homes by Japanese are received now by children• s agencies. ;_ 6 - In the office, there was an increase in case work necessary to make the proper. referralso Extensive consultation was carried on with other agencies on some cases. The single largest group of clients are the Issei aged who seek help for old age pensions, OASI, and unemployment compensation. recreation and education Recreation for Issei and Nisei was considered an important function.. With Nisei grcup workars employed in various settlement houses and agencies, a....-1.d with the continuation of the policy of encouraging use of community facilities, the Resettlers Committee did not operate an extensive recreation program for Nisei in the building.

Sunday Goh sessions remained very popular, aDd groups interested in poetry, literat.u-re, health, song, and drama continued to :.met. It is interesting to note that 70% of the activities in the building 1-1ere for Issei groups and organizations 9 19% for Nisei clubs and organizations, 6% mixed agency committees ., board meetings ,1 etc.,, 5% individuals. The City Wide Recreation Council focused its attention on the recreational needs of the young adult age group� sponsoring socials, outinzs, educational and ser,ice projects,. The Recreational Leac,ership Training Program attracted 168 leaders, with the program emphasis on underGtanding individual and group behavior as a way of solving organizational problems., The Girls Inter Club Council was reactivated to give concrete guidance to the nine girls clubs in the city. The Council sponsored dances, and a tea for college graduates, discussed club problems, and exchanged ideas for social and service projects� Sponsored activities drew a marked increase in• attendance .1 almost 2½ times more people attracted to the picnics, talent shou, Christmas program, and other events during the year. (See Appendix C). - 7 - IT WHAT ARE THE UNFINISHED TASKS? Alt}::o:lgh the status of Japan0se Arnerj_cans has improved and many are beginning to feel accepted and a part of Chicago life, our goal of integration and pa,ticipation in the communities is still in the future. A start has been made in helping Jape.nose Arr.eric311s relate their problems with those of other groups, and to seek a common solution beneficial to all. In 1052, this type of activity must be carried more vigorously, with tho utilization of new techniques of community organization and education� Attention must be paid towards improving the services of employment, housing, and social welfare :referrals. With Chicago the center of expansion of different types of industries, with the tight labor market in skilled and professionc1l work, the agency should 1) be pr8pm·ed for ne,,comers from other area seeking employment; 2) shift its attentton towards encouraging young and old lJOrkers to increase their knowledge and skills to talce advantage of new job opportunities; 3) bring to the attention of youth in high schools and colleges the importance of trainingo Individual counseling and speci�l attention towards the placement of skilled and professional people should be continueds In housing, interpretation of low cost housing, cooperative housing, and the efforts of organizations such as the Housing Conference of Chicago should be brought to the attention of the Japanese Americans. Intergr oup tensions should be noted und worked out., The listing of apartments has been valuable and more apartments should be notified of the a gc:=mcy service,. One of the projects recommended by the social service conference was a series of discussions focusing on the effects of culture on Japarn;,se American personality; and an interpretation of these problems to social agencies� Another source of concern to the agency is the specinl problem of the Issei aged, and it is felt that a study should 1.Je made so that intelligent and real:..stic recommendations can be followed� Attention should be brought on foster homes, adoptive homes, the services of different agencies through news paper and magazine articles, talks, and other m.ediao The City Hide necreation Council will continue its activities with young adults. However, euphasis will be on smaller groups and more effort will be directed towards intergroup activity� A neu type of leadership training program will be instituted reaching groups on their level. '• The agency uill hold a series of discussions on the role of the club advisor, the developmental needs of adolescents and young adults, and on other s ub,jects fer the advisors of all clubs and organizations in the city. The Inter Club Councll is plan:1ing to develop interesting progrmns on club problems, acquainting c:::..;1bs T�r 5_th a::;enciGs and facilities in tho cit:r,otc" und will put out its oun newspaper. - 8 - Problems of the kibci and Japanese war brides have not been touched by the agencyo An awareness of their problems and exploratory discussions should be made to determine how the agency might help. .. We have set ourselves many tasks for 1952. This may well be the year which will see oven greater strides in Japanese Ar:.orican integration in Chicago. 11ith the help of all the agencies, and above all tho Japanese Americans themselves, the Chicago n.osottlors can play a part in the still incomplete story of resettlement, - 9 - EXHI3TT I THE CHICAGO RESETTLERS cor,JMITTEE BALANCE SHEET AS OF DECEMBER 31., 1951 ASSETS CURRENT Cash on Cash in Cash in ASSETS: hand - General Fund bank ...

.-, ' ,' The graceful-almost poetic moves-of minyo capture one's attention as the per formers entertain the elderly with a traditional Japanese dance done to the strains of folk music. The spectators are clients in the JASC Adult Day Care Pro gram. And the performers are clients too. They take part in the Group Ser vices Program of the by JASC. Folk music and dance is only one of the many activities provided under the Group Services label. Other educational classes include ceramics, mature driving, tai chi (oriental exercise,) penji (penman ship,) origami (paper folding,) kamin ingyo (paper dolls,) embroidery and Japanese ornament making. These classes allow students to discover and rediscover the Japanese cultural arts which hopefully will be preserved for future generations, accor ding to Randy Kimura, program coor dinator. The Group Services offered by JASC do not end with educational services. With its primary motive to serve the lsseis, JASC yearly presents special Japanese festivals which are observed and recreated as authentically as possi ble. These have deep meaning to the lssei clients and also offer a glimpse into the Japanese culture to others who are not familiar with it. Some of the ethnic arts programs are partially sponsored by the Illinois Arts Council and the Chicago Office of Fine Arts. Programs offered by Group Services to meet the needs of Niseis include those that deal with retirement, health and education. Health screening and blood pressure check-ups are popular since health issues are of major concern to the Nisei clients. Group Services also conducts a Nutri tion Program and during the 1988-89 fiscal year served 11,603 meals at the JASC headquarters and delivered 3,515 meals to home-bound elderly under its Meals-on-Wheels program. Unduplicated attendance at the various Group Services programs totaled 1,021 during the 1988-89 fiscal year. '• ''The ladies, they are wonderful and they help me a lot." Thomas Nicholson, 67, reclines on his sofa and talks about the chore i housekeepers who assist him in keep ng his apartment in He iwa Terrace im maculate and who attend to othe r chores to help Japanese American elde r ly, othe r Asian elderly and non-Asians unde r the JASC Home Support Services Program. Tomoko Satoh, supe rviso r of chore housekeeping, has twe lve of them. Chore housekeepers that is. These are persons to attend to the need of elderly clients at Heiwa Terrace and elsewhere in the Chicago Uptown area. The chore housekeepers help the elderly to per fo rm such tasks as cleaning, shopping, laund ry, food preparation, personal care, nut r itional guidance and hygiene educa tion and other activities of daily living so that the clients can live in an in dependent manner. Occasionally, when there are some heavy tasks to perform, such as window washing and moving furniture, the Home Support Services call on its only male worker, Henry Nishimoto. Volunteers are used to escort the elderly when they go to the doctor or dentist, grocery shopp ing and other outings where they may need assistance. Nicholson says he is very happy in his new home. A life-long Chicagoan who grew up in the city's South Side, he retired several years ago. During his working years he had a myriad of jobs, he said, but failing health forced his retirement. He now looks forward to some leisure time activities such as riding his bicycle and walking to stores nearby. He picks up a guitar which rests in the corner of his living room, strums it and says that he plans to learn how to play it in the near future. Meanwhile, his chore housekeeper vacuums his living room around him. And in a typical housekeepers fashion orders: "Lift your feet." During fiscal 1988-89, chore housekeepers served 102 individuals, which included 44 lsseis, 37 Niseis and 21 others. Home Service • JOB PLACEMENT Until March of 1989, the LASC also pro vided a Job Placement Service for clients. This service was discontinued because of financial considerations. We served 148 persons and placed 56. 7 Welcome To JASC Like any other human care service agen cy, the JASC constantly is aware of two separate functions. Of course, the first one is to help the clients in need, but this goes hand in hand with the second one...to raise enough funds to be able to provide this help. The JASC has grown with the help of volunteers who spend countless hours serving the organization and the Japanese-American community. Finan cial support comes from governmental grants, membership, contributions, the United Way and the exciting and impor tant special events. On this page we are sharing with you some of the highlights of our special events. The all important Fuji Festival, Market Day and Christmas delight sale. We also feature some shots of the se r vices we provide which do not create in come but are all important to ou r commun ity, such as the Health Fair.

[This issue of the annual report, pays tribute to the lsseis, now in .the twilight of their lives. And we quote Toju N�kae, poet and philosopher who back in the early 17th cen tury said: "Filial piety is the root of man. When it is lost from one's heart, then one's life becomes like a rootless plant, and if one does not ex pire instantly, it is nothing but sheer luck:' The JASC recognizes the importance of honoring parents and the elderly and therefore we devote this annual report to them. To the lsseis for their contributions to the generations that follow. At the same time, we are aware that "the past is but the beginning" and we look for ward to new programs and services to meet the existing needs of our community for the next decade and beyond. PROGRAMS AND SERVICES To meet the many needs of its clients, in 1988-89 the JASC provided a variety of programs and services. The professional and administrative staffs-which included social workers, chore housekeepers, program coordinators, group workers, adult day care aides, teachers, a nurse and a driver-were assisted by many volunteers. They all attended to the clients' needs on and off the agency's premises. Funding for the programs and services came from various sources: the United Way of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, Illinois Arts Council, Chicago Office of Fine Arts, Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department On Aging, JASC membership fees, various contributions from the Japanese American community, corporations and foun dations. What follows is a look at JASC services as seen through the clients' eyes... asework/ ---�seling • 4 "I am so lucky," exults 98-year-old Owasa Shimada, as she relaxes in her apartment at Heiwa Terrace, a 200-unit senior citizens residential complex developed 10 years ago by JASC. Mrs. Shimada, who speaks only Japanese, is talking to her casework counselor Reiko Kodama-Endo. She has received a letter from the Social Security office written in English and the counselor is translating it and explaining its contents to the lssei woman. Help like this is only one function of the JASC Casework/Counseling Program. It is primarily intended to assist individuals who are experiencing difficulty coping with the demands of everyday living. While Mrs. Shimada needs help in understanding English, otherwise she is physically well and mentally alert. She is grateful for the help provided by the JASC Casework/Counseling Program and appreciates that "someone can help me." Before coming to Chicago the Japanese woman lived in Detroit and she says she was unhappy and afraid there. "Here everyone is so nice to me. I feel very secure here...everyone is so helpful," she adds. The Casework/Counseling Program has in Reiko Kodama-Endo an experienced professional in the areas of assessment, counseling and psychotherapy. In addi tion to helping the clients to achieve adequate and healthy psychological and social life, the program also provides services dealing with financial and health management, nutritional guidance, advocacy, emergencies and immigration and naturalization. Assistance is rendered through brief con sultations or individual, family or group counseling/psychotherapy. In the 1988-89 fiscal year, 228 clients, 188 Japanese and other Asians and 32 white and eight black, used this service. At 95 Shosoku Sahara has probab ly ex perienced everything there is in a rich and fu lfilled l i fe. But for him, coming to the JASC Adu lt Day Care Center is an experience he looks forward to every day. '"He is ve ry happy in the mornings when I tell him he is going to the center," says Toshiko Sahara, his daughter. "He anticipates going there and being with people he likes." '"Sahara-san enjoys it here," says Keith Chase-Ziolek, adult day care coordinator." He does participate in some of the ac tivities, but also likes to relax and take a nap o r two du ring the day." The Adult Day Care Program is of fered by JASC to keep the elderly at home and provide respite for the family. The program offers activities in a group setting which help older adults to im prove their physical and mental condi tion. Clients participate in a number of activities and special events, such as field trips, ceramics, exercise and games and hear speakers and watch films and video tapes on various subjects. They also have a noon meal and snacks and the social opportunity to enjoy this time eating together. The social service and nursing staffs develop individual plans for each client and monitor their progress. Special attention is given the lsseis, who can come to special weekly pro grams which allow them to meet with their peers, speak Japanese, enjoy Japanese oriented food and crafts and have access to ethnic services. However, more and more Niseis are now taking advantage of the Adult Day Care Pro gram. In fiscal year 1988-89, the pro gram served 83 clients for 4,919 client days. Sixty-four clients were economical ly disadvantaged and they were the reci pients of 4,294.5 client days. Average attendance was 19.3 clients a day. 5 . J.\tl -·· ... .' 6 ¾- . .-✓ . >.-, ' ,' The graceful-almost poetic moves-of minyo capture one's attention as the per formers entertain the elderly with a traditional Japanese dance done to the strains of folk music. The spectators are clients in the JASC Adult Day Care Pro gram. And the performers are clients too. They take part in the Group Ser vices Program of the by JASC. Folk music and dance is only one of the many activities provided under the Group Services label. Other educational classes include ceramics, mature driving, tai chi (oriental exercise,) penji (penman ship,) origami (paper folding,) kamin ingyo (paper dolls,) embroidery and Japanese ornament making. These classes allow students to discover and rediscover the Japanese cultural arts which hopefully will be preserved for future generations, accor ding to Randy Kimura, program coor dinator. The Group Services offered by JASC do not end with educational services. With its primary motive to serve the lsseis, JASC yearly presents special Japanese festivals which are observed and recreated as authentically as possi ble. These have deep meaning to the lssei clients and also offer a glimpse into the Japanese culture to others who are not familiar with it. Some of the ethnic arts programs are partially sponsored by the Illinois Arts Council and the Chicago Office of Fine Arts. Programs offered by Group Services to meet the needs of Niseis include those that deal with retirement, health and education. Health screening and blood pressure check-ups are popular since health issues are of major concern to the Nisei clients. Group Services also conducts a Nutri tion Program and during the 1988-89 fiscal year served 11,603 meals at the JASC headquarters and delivered 3,515 meals to home-bound elderly under its Meals-on-Wheels program. Unduplicated attendance at the various Group Services programs totaled 1,021 during the 1988-89 fiscal year. '• ''The ladies, they are wonderful and they help me a lot." Thomas Nicholson, 67, reclines on his sofa and talks about the chore i housekeepers who assist him in keep ng his apartment in He iwa Terrace im maculate and who attend to othe r chores to help Japanese American elde r ly, othe r Asian elderly and non-Asians unde r the JASC Home Support Services Program. Tomoko Satoh, supe rviso r of chore housekeeping, has twe lve of them. Chore housekeepers that is. These are persons to attend to the need of elderly clients at Heiwa Terrace and elsewhere in the Chicago Uptown area. The chore housekeepers help the elderly to per fo rm such tasks as cleaning, shopping, laund ry, food preparation, personal care, nut r itional guidance and hygiene educa tion and other activities of daily living so that the clients can live in an in dependent manner. Occasionally, when there are some heavy tasks to perform, such as window washing and moving furniture, the Home Support Services call on its only male worker, Henry Nishimoto. Volunteers are used to escort the elderly when they go to the doctor or dentist, grocery shopp ing and other outings where they may need assistance. Nicholson says he is very happy in his new home. A life-long Chicagoan who grew up in the city's South Side, he retired several years ago. During his working years he had a myriad of jobs, he said, but failing health forced his retirement. He now looks forward to some leisure time activities such as riding his bicycle and walking to stores nearby. He picks up a guitar which rests in the corner of his living room, strums it and says that he plans to learn how to play it in the near future. Meanwhile, his chore housekeeper vacuums his living room around him. And in a typical housekeepers fashion orders: "Lift your feet." During fiscal 1988-89, chore housekeepers served 102 individuals, which included 44 lsseis, 37 Niseis and 21 others. Home Service • JOB PLACEMENT Until March of 1989, the LASC also pro vided a Job Placement Service for clients. This service was discontinued because of financial considerations. We served 148 persons and placed 56. 7 Welcome To JASC Like any other human care service agen cy, the JASC constantly is aware of two separate functions. Of course, the first one is to help the clients in need, but this goes hand in hand with the second one...to raise enough funds to be able to provide this help. The JASC has grown with the help of volunteers who spend countless hours serving the organization and the Japanese-American community. Finan cial support comes from governmental grants, membership, contributions, the United Way and the exciting and impor tant special events. On this page we are sharing with you some of the highlights of our special events. The all important Fuji Festival, Market Day and Christmas delight sale. We also feature some shots of the se r vices we provide which do not create in come but are all important to ou r commun ity, such as the Health Fair.

JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITTEE OF CHICAGO 1987-88 ANNUAL REPORT President's Message Now, with our Issei people dwindling in numbers and the Nisei, in turn, reaching senior citizen status, we look to our Sansei leaders to take up the leadership role in our community. Though many of them still have to consider their budding careers and families, several have shown great interest in the JASC, and we look forward ·to their increasing involvement. I would be remiss if I did not mention the increasing support we have received from the publisher and editorial officers of the Chicago Shimpo. We also express our deep gratitude to the staff members and officers of the Chicago Consulate General of Japan, and the officers and members of the Chicago Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry who have given generously to our nursing home campaign. It is fortunate for the JASC that so many of our outstanding leaders, such as the late Thomas Masuda, one of our earliest presidents and legal adviser, have supported us along with the numerous organizations represented in our umbrella organization, the Japanese American Council. Without such dedicated support from these groups and from our community the JASC could not have made continuous remarkable progress in our 42-year history. The most challenging project in our history-the nursing home-is now within reach. We eagerly look forward to the future with hope, but we'll need your full support as in the past. Thank you again. We are very grateful. At our 42nd annual meeting in June, Dorothy Kaneko was honored as the "JASC 'Volunteer of the Year'" for her years of dedicated service to the JASC, especially in programs caring for our senior citizens. We also honored the memory of our late nursing home committee chairman Richard Yamada, Sr. who passed away in March during heart surgery. Along with Noboru Honda and Thomas Teraji on his committee, Mr. Yamada had been active with the agency for many years, serving as president as well as heading various committees. Tom Teraji, who retired as facilities director for the Chicago Board of Education, is now chairing the nursing home committee after our eight years of study and planning to build the first Asian American nursing home in the entire Midwest area. Thanks to the extraordinary financial support from our community we look forward to the very near future groundbreaking of the JASC "Home for the Elderly'.' As president of the JASC board of directors, which is made up of volunteers, I thank all the executive officers and members of the board, past and present, whose efforts have made our work so much easier; they reflect our community through the churches, organizations, and professions they represent. Thanks to the dedicated services of the JASC staff and executive director Rev. Masaru Nambu, now in his 23rd year with the agency, the JASC has become nationally recognized for its various innovative programs developed through the years. -Arthur T. Morimitsu 1987-88 President Board of Directors Cover: "Homes I Remember" and "the little people in the neighborhood" was a six-week creative ceramic project last Fall, 1987, of 18 seniors in the Adult Day Care program, under the guidance of project leader Janette Koga, JASC art and ceramics instructor, and volunteers Alice Hashimoto and Marie Nishioka. The entire project was displayed at Heiwa Terrace where the artists showed off their work during a reception in their honor. {Photo by Judy Shafer} 2 Executive Director's Report are providing services which have been provided the past 40 years, but, the clients whom we serve are changing from Isseis to mixed populations; some programs continue serving predominantly Japanese clients, but other programs have been utilized by non-Japanese. This trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future as Niseis retire while still healthy and capable of taking care of themselves. Meanwhile, with Sanseis mostly in their early 30s, this wide generational gap poses some uncertainty related to their continued perceptions and ideas concerning the future of the JASC. The JASC staff and Board of Directors have been evaluating the present course of the agency, to establish long range goals in light of the fact that the JASC must respond to its changing environment. Throughout 42 years of history and growth the JASC has taken every opportunity to serve-always being sensitive and responsive to the pulse of the community and meeting its needs. As the JASC stands at the most important juncture of its history, I am confident that the JASC Board and other community leaders will pool their collective wisdom to direct the best course for the agency so that it can continue to make significant contributions to the quality of life for those in the community who rely on its help. Each year seems to pass rapidly and rather routinely. Yet, a close look always reveals that no one year is the same, and each year has events unique to itself that will probably never be repeated. We have endeavored to advance the JASC Keiro Nursing Home Project throughout the year. Although it is unprecedented in the Chicago Japanese American community, the JASC has accepted the challenge, with courage and determination, to respond to the unmet need in our midst. To raise a million-and-a-half dollars is truly a monumental task for a relatively modest-sized community. However, with much support coming from every direction, we were able to go over the million dollar mark during this year, and continue our fund-raising effort to raise a sum sufficient to insure sound management of the future nursing home. Many seniors and mentally handicapped individuals benefited from the Sheltered Workshop program the JASC operated for over a quarter of-a-century. In fact, the JASC was identified as the "Issei Work Center" because of the uniqueness of the program and its success. However, as the number of Isseis declined rapidly we discovered that Nisei are not interested in the same program, so, the JASC Board of Directors concluded that the original purpose of the Sheltered Workshop was achieved and it was time to close that program as of October 31, 1987. Discontinuance of the Sheltered Workshop has reminded us that we are in the midst of change in the Japanese American community. We -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 Development/Public Relations In FY 1988 the Development Department made 97 attempts for fund ing support from corporate, public, family, and church foundations as specially targeted proposals were submitted to a variety of possible "outside" funding sources. These efforts resulted in eleven grants totaling $32,250-of which $13,000 was for operating budget, while $19,250 was designated for specific purposes such as support of the programs for Preventive Health Care Screening of Asian Elderly and Education of JASC Staff. Newest to join the ranks of "outside source" financial supporters of the JASC ($5,000) was the Aon Foundation/Aon Corporation, whose Combined Insurance Company of America has an office headquarters building in the heart of Uptown. In addition, friends of the JASC responded with $8,140 to the year-end Holiday Appeal, and with $10,365 to the "Contributors Fund" through the solicitation envelope that was enclosed with each newsletter. The agency also realized $330 through "Matching Gifts" from employers of JASC friends who are beginning to take advantage of the opportunity to at least double their contributions through "matching gift" contributions from the companies where they work. The Department also helped develop and introduce new services and promotional materials for the membership campaign that contributed to the signing up of new members and rejoining of old members; provided research help in seeking grant-funding support for the Nursing Home fund-raising campaign; assisted in seeking funding support and publicity for agency programs, services, activities, and events, which resulted in newspaper stories, and features and public service announcements on radio and television; and conducted tours for employees of various companies to show them and give them the opportunity to photograph the JASC's facilities as part of the citywide campaign for United Way of Chicago. 4 Social Services During the past year chore housekeepers served 102 individuals, which included 44 Isseis, 37 Niseis, and 21 others; 78 of these house holds were at Heiwa Terrace. Public agencies and individuals have recog nized this service. Group Services. This department provides educational classes, Japanese cultural events, health maintenance programs, programs for Niseis, and a nutrition program for seniors. As are many others at the JASC, these are made possible with the help of volunteers. Educational classes are offered in ceramics, mature driving, tai chi, minyo, penji, origami, kaminingyo, embroidery, and Japanese ornament making. Particularly popular are the classes that allow students to discover or re-discover the Japanese cultural arts, which it is hoped will help be preserved for future generations. Special Japanese festivals are observed and presented as authentically as possible; they have special meaning for the Issei clients, and offer a glimpse into the Japanese culture for those not familiar with it. To meet the many needs of its clients, the JASC social service depart ment provides a variety of programs and services. The staff of 25 which includes social workers, chore housekeepers, program coordi nators, group workers, day care helpers, teachers, nurses, drivers, an employment counselor, and aides-is assisted by more than 90 volunteers. Funding for the department comes from a variety of sources: United Way of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, Illinois Arts Council, Chicago Office of Fine Arts, Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department On Aging, and foundations. Casework/Counseling. The program is staffed by experienced pro fessional clinicians in the areas of assessment, counseling and psycho therapy. It is designed primarily to assist individuals who are experiencing difficulty coping with the demands of everyday living to achieve ade quate or healthy psychological and social adjustment. The program, however, also includes services dealing with financial and health manage ment, nutrition guidance, advocacy, emergencies, and immigration and naturalization. Assistance is rendered through brief consultations or indi vidual, family, or group counseling/psychotherapy. During the past year a total of 330 (278 Japanese and other Asians, 47 White, 5 Black) clients used the service. Home Support Services. Many kinds of services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, grooming, personal care, nutrition guidance, and hygiene education-are offered in the home to assist older persons in the activities of daily living so that they may live in an independent manner. Volunteers are recruited to assist in escort service, and activities such as window washing and moving furniture. 5 tion, activities, and rest. Clients enjoy a wide range of activities and spe cial events, including field trips, ceramics, exercise, games, and speakers. The balanced noon meal and snack breaks provide needed nutrition and the social opportunity to share food together. The social service and nursing staffs develop a joint care plan for each client and monitor clients on an ongoing basis. A special emphasis continues to be placed on serving Isseis in need of more opportunities to socialize, or whose physical functioning is begin ning to decline. The JASC staff works with clients and their families to understand how Adult Day Care and other programs together can enrich the client's daily life and provide relief and support for care givers. Some of the Isseis come each week to our special Tuesday program. They have a regular day and time to meet with their peers, speak Japanese together, enjoy special food and crafts, and have access to a wide range of special services. Working together the client, family, and staff make it possible for the older adults to remain at home at their highest functional level. The pro gram served 82 clients; 5,280 units or days of service were provided, 4,643 of them to economically disadvantaged. Average attendance was 20.5 clients per day. Job Placement. In 1984 the JASC initiated a Job Placement Service for Asian Older Workers (55 years or older) in contract with the City of Chicago Department On Aging and Disability, funded by the Job Train ing Partnership Act.' Based on the needs of the community the service was extended to the population that is 54 years or under. Last year-after a new Job Placement Counselor replaced the original one who had to prematurely retire because of ill health-the program staff screened 333 applicants to determine their employability, and placed a total of 74 persons (30 Asians, 44 non-Asians). Programs conducted to meet the needs of Niseis include those that deal with retirement, health, and education. Health screening and blood pressure check-ups are popular because health issues are a major concern. The nutrition program served 11,620 meals at the JASC and the Meals-On-Wheels program delivered 3,162 meals to home-bound elderly. Attendance at the various programs, affected by the closing of the Sheltered Care Workshop, totaled 21,729. Looking ahead, as more volunteers come forward to share their time, energy, and skills, more programs can be added to better serve the community. Adult Day Care. To prevent premature institutionalization, the Adult Day Care program promotes the physical and mental well-being of older adults through a full range of coordinated services in a supervised group setting. Care is given to maintain a balance of opportunities for socializa- 6 Workshop A farewell reception for all the seniors made the closing of the Workshop final and official, but we can all take pride in what the JASC Sheltered Workshop provided and accomplished during its more than 25 years of service to the community. The JASC Sheltered Workshop, which had provided a quarter century of valuable service to the community, closed its doors on December 31. Decreasing Japanese-American clients, diminishing funding support, increasing competition for sub-contract work, and the growing burden on the JASC resources prompted termination of the program. Opened in 1962 to assist the aging Isseis, as "the only one of its kind serving the Japanese American community in the United States:' the program started slowly. The Isseis wanted to make sure that the program was not a handout, which is contrary to Japanese cultural values. Once convinced that the program was in keeping with the Japanese work ethic, the Isseis participated so conscientiously that not even heavy snowstorms could deter them. At its height the workshop provided post retirement employment for as many as 150 Isseis, five days a week. So successful was the program that during the mid-1960s and the '70s, the JASC was synonymously identified as the "Issei Work Center:' As Isseis advanced in age and death took its toll or poor health took them to nursing homes or to more suitable JASC programs, Issei participation in the Work Center dwindled. With Niseis not ready or inclined to come into the Workshop program, the agency began to accept other elderly Asians. When the Edgewater Uptown Comprehensive Community Mental Health Center opened in 1969, the JASC agreed to also accept some of its former mental patients (including non-Asians) in need of vocational rehabilitation. General e�onomic conditions also created a drop-off in available sub-contract work, placing a heavy burden on the JASC budget and almost forcing the Workshop to close in 1980-81. However, the com munity intervened and rallied to its support with financial contributions that alleviated the crisis temporarily. Although the JASC received governmental funding support for the emotionally disabled in the program, there was no such support for the elderly. Therefore, the JASC found itself having to divert $8,000-$10,000 per month from its operating budget to help keep the Workshop going. The latest census of the Workshop population also showed that of the 53 seniors enrolled, there were only 12 Isseis and 9 Niseis. Having determined that the program was not financially practicable and that the Workshop had fulfilled its original purpose and objectives, the JASC Board of Directors decided on its closing. The program for senior citizens was closed October 31, but the former mental health clients continued in the program until December 31 to fulfill the agency's contractual agreement with the Edgewater-Uptown Comprehensive Community Mental Health Center. 7 In Appreciation who are served by this agency, and donors are listed in periodic JASC publications.

America seeking new lives here. Most of them were in their late teens and early 20s, emerg ing from a highly stratified, rigidly structured and restrictive feudal society. They established new roots in an alien, and at times hostile en vironment. They endured back-breaking work as itinerant laborers on the railroads, in lumber mills, fisheries and on farms in the Western States. Most of them achieved a measure of success. The crowning blow to their achievements came with World War II when they were uprooted and transplanted to relocation centers, much better described as concentration camps. The Isseis survived this and most of them, after the war, either return ed to the West Coast or sought new homes in cities like Chicago. This is where the story of JASC begins...The JASC was organized as the influx of Japanese-Americans reached Chicago. Through the pages of this annual report, you will find an accounting of JASC activities. Our achievements, spectacular or not, have continued on a level course ...serving our clients to the best of our ability and changing as new needs emerge. The story is about us...but the real story is that of the lsseis to whom we owe a lot. ...The "QUIET PEOPLE." We stand today as witnesses to the in domitable courage of a generation of people who have survived tremendous hardships and are now on the threshold of extinction...the Issei...a vanishing generation of Japanese Americans. The Japanese American Service Commit tee, which has served the lssei and those who followed them since 1946, in this. 1989-90 An nual Report pays tribute to the remaining Isseis who today are more than 90 years old. Only a handful remain, but their legacy will live on. It is our hope that this Annual Report in whatever small way will remind generations to come of the "quiet people " who "enhanced our quality of life with the respect for human values and lived each day with simplicity and spiritual faith..." We are indebted to Mary Koga for the forceful portraits of the lsseis taken during the past 20 years. This monument will live in the future as a testament to a generation of people who could not be destroyed-not by hard work, undefinable discrimination or the demand to start anew in the middle of their lives. The generation structure of the Japanese American society began around the turn of the century when the Issei began to arrive in 3 Kenichi Morimitsu, at age 101-1987 .Nlary Koga 4 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE At the June 1990 Annual Meeting of the Japanese �merican Service Committee (JASC) our agency celebrated its 44th anniversary. Because of the high credibility developed by JASC over the past 44 years, our agency has been duly recognized as an outstanding Midwest area Asian American social service organization by the United Way of Chicago, the Chicago Community Trust, the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago, and by the various agencies of both State of Illinois and the City of Chicago. The leadership of the JASC Board of Directors has been enhanced by several early former presi dents of the Board, namely Noboru Honda and Thomas Teraji, who are both executive officers of the JASC Nursing Home Committee. We deeply re gret the passing of two early presidents, the late Thomas Masuda and Richard Yamada, who played an invaluable role in the· growth of JASC over the years. The Reverend Masaru Nambu, now serving his 26th year with the agency, in addition to his duties as Executive Director, also has been serving as the Project Manager of the JASC Keiro Nursing Home campaign and has been conducting correspon dence and meetings with the various nursing home consultants advising the JASC Committee in the difficult legal, technical and financial matters. Our Long Range Planning Committee, chaired by long-time JASC Board Member Betty Nakanishi, after conducting a survey in our com munity, has focused as our top priority health care for our JASC members and other people in the community. Several measures are ready to be im plemented in response to this need. W ith our highly successful JASC Heiwa Terrace senior citizen retirement home just celebrating its 10th anniversary, we take great pride that our 10-year effort to build the first Asian American nur sing home in the Midwest area is becoming a reality. The groundbreaking ceremony for the facili ty took place on March 24, 1990. It should be mentioned that major organizations and foundations which provide us with substantial financial support, specify that other Asians, not just Japanese, should be helped by the JASC and its programs. The JASC facilities have always been open to local organizations for meetings and various functions. For the use of facilities dona tions are welcomed. During the past several years, the JASC has received financial support from a number of local organizations, such as the Japanese American Council and members of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Chicago, the Futabakai PTA, and support of many volunteers from organizations such as Nisei Post 1183 American Legion, Japanese American Citizens League, Japa nese American Association and church groups, both Christian and Buddhist. We are grateful to the JASC Housing Corporation Board for use of Heiwa Terrace facilities; and the newspaper, radio and television media, including the Chicago Shimpo and its officers and staff members. We are especially indebted to our JASC Board of Directors who have voluntarily devoted so much of their time and expertise to our agency during the past year. Our community is infinitely richer for their participation. Arthur T. Morimitsu 1989-90 President Board of Directors 5 Mary Koga Hisno Fujimoto, at age 96-1986 6 EXECUTIVE DIREClOR'S REPORT Throughout FY 1990, the interest of the Japanese American community and the Japanese American Service Committee (JASC) has focused on the JASC Keiro Nursing Home project. An unprecedented contribution of more than $1.2 million has been raised from a small Japanese American Community of about 15,000 in metropolitan Chicago. At the nursing home groundbreaking ceremony this spring, an atten dance of more than 400 testified to the commit ment to the project. The undertaking has gone through several alterations due to unforseen changes caused by soil conditions and regulatory requirements. Never theless, the Certificate of Need has been obtained from the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board and we have also obtained a firm commitment from HUD. The JASC Nursing Home Committee has selected Van Kampen Merritt to issue the tax exempt bonds to finance the additional $8.3 million needed for the construction of the project. As the Japanese community continues to change and the number of lssei decline, the JASC has been preparing to respond to the changing needs of the community. As a response to the surveys the JASC has conducted in search of the unmet needs, the organization is starting a Com munity Health Program in cooperation with the Swedish Covenant Hospital. The program is being initiated at seven Japanese churches (two Buddhist Temples and five Protestant Churches) and one sta tion will be located at JASC headquarters. The program will cover health education, health screen ing, home health care and the necessary referral services to the medical professions. The aging of the Issei and Nisei population has caused a decline in charitable. contributions from our constituents, and the JASC has taken steps to maintain sound financial support needed for the continuation of its services. With the endorsements of the Consulate General of Japan, and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the JASC has initiated a Corporate Membership Drive from Japanese companies and more than 30 com panies have joined the Corporate membership in support of JASC. We hope that additional Japanese companies will join our membership in the years to come. It is amazing as we reflect on our past 44 years to realize that being aware of the pressing needs of the Japanese community and with little assistance, a small self-help organization was created and that out of these humble beginnings an organization developed which left a lasting impact on many lives. New readership is emerging from young Japanese Americans-Sansei-on the JASC Board of Directors. As the JASC forges forward on an un chartered future course, I am confident that collec tive wisdom of the JASC Board and the community leaders will continue to guide the course of the JASC and continue to make valuable contributions toward improving the quality of life of the people we serve. Masaru Nambu Executive Director 7 Mary Koga Yoshiji Sahara, at age 86-1986 8 SERVICES WE OFFER OOR CLIENTS The Japanese American Service Committee through the years has factored its programs to serve the changing needs of our client community. There were services for the lsseis, such as the discontinued sheltered workshop. Adult day care which is much needed now will probably be discontinued in a few years as the Isseis cease to exist and the Niseis are not quite ready for this service. The JASC to day concentrates on services for the Niseis. Their health and what we can do to maintain and improve it, is high on our agenda. As we open the Pandora's box and attempt to steal a glimpse of the social ills of the future, we have to anticipate the role the Sansei's (third generation Japanese Americans) will play in our organization. We hope that there will be a time when we will be able to determine their needs and provide some services to this generation. The areas of maintaining their cultural heritage and in troducing their children to it, loom big at the present time. In retrospect, the FY 1989-90 has been a productive one for JASC. What have we accomplished? We have continued our existing programs and proved our ability to serve our communi ty when it needs us. Our ADULT DAY CARE program last year served approximately 25 clients per day, total ing 31,674 hours of service. Adult Day Care aims to keep the elderly out of institutions and offers activities in a group setting which help older adults to improve their physical and mental condition. Clients participate in a number of activities and special events, such as field trips, ceramics, exercise and hear speakers on various subjects. They also get a noon meal and have the opportunity to eat together with others. ocial service and nursing staffs develop in .� d1v1dual plans for each client and monitor their progress. CASEWORK AND COUNSELING services in the past fiscal year worked with 243 clients, 201 of Japanese American ancestry. The total hours of service provided were 2,938. This is a program which assists clients to achieve adequate psychological and social life. The counselor speaks Japanese and deals with questions involving financial and health issues as well as formulating future plans for the elderly. HO�E SUPPORT services involve cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, personal care, nutritional service and hygiene educa tion to the elderly either at Heiwa Terrace, a senior citizen's residential center or at other locations. This service has one aim... to help the elderly live independently and avoid in stitutionalization. During the past year, the chore house keepers provided a total of 18,351 hours of service to 126 clients...79 of them Japanese Americans. GROUP SERVICES is a program which pro vides educational classes, mature driving, tai chi (oriental exercise), minyo (folk music and dance), penji (penmanship), origami (paper folding) and kaminingyo (paper doll con struction.) Special Japanese festivals are observed and presented as authentically as possible. Pro grams dealing with health and education are offered by this division as is a nutrition and Meals-on-Wheels services to home-bound elderly. The nutrition program served more than 10,500 meals through last year and Group Services offered duplicated services to nearly 3,200 people. 9 HIGHLIGHTS OF 1989-1990 The past fiscal year featured a number of achievements, several of them of major im portance to our organization. Topping the list was the long-awaited groundbreaking for he JASC Keiro Nursing Home which took place on March 24 and was the first major step toward the completion of the $8.3 million facility. The weather cooperated as sunny skies greeted the 400 plus attenders at the ceremony which was culminated in a recep tion which followed addresses by dignitaries and a photo "groundbreaking" session on the nursing home site. The event was another milestone in the 10-year effort to build the first Japanese American Nursing Home west of the Mississippi. It celebrated, among other things, the $1.3 million raised among the Japanese American community toward the home con struction. During the past fiscal year, JASC also ob tained a "Certificate of Need" from the state for the project. This is a step needed before tax-exempt revenue bonds can be sold and construction started. A new service program was launched by JASC. In a joint venture with the Swedish Covenant Hospital, our organization for mulated a Community Health Program. It is fashioned after the hospital's "parish nurse" program and will be aimed at our lssei and Nisei population, concentrating on individuals who need specialized or comprehensive health services, but for whom care in hospitals, outpatient clinics, or in the offices of private practitioners is unnecessary. The nurse, working in close conjunction with JASC, will help the community to recognize the needed elements for its overall health and well being and will be available to advise on health education, health screening program and provide personal counseling within the limits of the nurse's role. Other duties of the nurse will include the employ ment of community health resources for the benefit of the community and assisting in- Keiro Nursing Home Groundbreaking Annual Market Day 10 dividuals in the community with nursing services. A number of special events also highlighted the year. These included the Fuji Festival which honored Frank Sugano, chair man of the Sugano Travel Agency and Presi dent of Chicago Shimpo; the Christmas Delight Sale, annual Market Day and others. These activities help us _to raise funds needed to provide services to our clients. Finally, JASC last fiscal year developed a new membership category. We started to sell $1,000 membership shares in our organiza tion to Japanese companies which do business in Chicago area. Thirty-one com panies responded and to them go our ap preciation and thanks.

America seeking new lives here. Most of them were in their late teens and early 20s, emerg ing from a highly stratified, rigidly structured and restrictive feudal society. They established new roots in an alien, and at times hostile en vironment. They endured back-breaking work as itinerant laborers on the railroads, in lumber mills, fisheries and on farms in the Western States. Most of them achieved a measure of success. The crowning blow to their achievements came with World War II when they were uprooted and transplanted to relocation centers, much better described as concentration camps. The Isseis survived this and most of them, after the war, either return ed to the West Coast or sought new homes in cities like Chicago. This is where the story of JASC begins...The JASC was organized as the influx of Japanese-Americans reached Chicago. Through the pages of this annual report, you will find an accounting of JASC activities. Our achievements, spectacular or not, have continued on a level course ...serving our clients to the best of our ability and changing as new needs emerge. The story is about us...but the real story is that of the lsseis to whom we owe a lot. ...The "QUIET PEOPLE." We stand today as witnesses to the in domitable courage of a generation of people who have survived tremendous hardships and are now on the threshold of extinction...the Issei...a vanishing generation of Japanese Americans. The Japanese American Service Commit tee, which has served the lssei and those who followed them since 1946, in this. 1989-90 An nual Report pays tribute to the remaining Isseis who today are more than 90 years old. Only a handful remain, but their legacy will live on. It is our hope that this Annual Report in whatever small way will remind generations to come of the "quiet people " who "enhanced our quality of life with the respect for human values and lived each day with simplicity and spiritual faith..." We are indebted to Mary Koga for the forceful portraits of the lsseis taken during the past 20 years. This monument will live in the future as a testament to a generation of people who could not be destroyed-not by hard work, undefinable discrimination or the demand to start anew in the middle of their lives. The generation structure of the Japanese American society began around the turn of the century when the Issei began to arrive in 3 Kenichi Morimitsu, at age 101-1987 .Nlary Koga 4 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE At the June 1990 Annual Meeting of the Japanese �merican Service Committee (JASC) our agency celebrated its 44th anniversary. Because of the high credibility developed by JASC over the past 44 years, our agency has been duly recognized as an outstanding Midwest area Asian American social service organization by the United Way of Chicago, the Chicago Community Trust, the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago, and by the various agencies of both State of Illinois and the City of Chicago. The leadership of the JASC Board of Directors has been enhanced by several early former presi dents of the Board, namely Noboru Honda and Thomas Teraji, who are both executive officers of the JASC Nursing Home Committee. We deeply re gret the passing of two early presidents, the late Thomas Masuda and Richard Yamada, who played an invaluable role in the· growth of JASC over the years. The Reverend Masaru Nambu, now serving his 26th year with the agency, in addition to his duties as Executive Director, also has been serving as the Project Manager of the JASC Keiro Nursing Home campaign and has been conducting correspon dence and meetings with the various nursing home consultants advising the JASC Committee in the difficult legal, technical and financial matters. Our Long Range Planning Committee, chaired by long-time JASC Board Member Betty Nakanishi, after conducting a survey in our com munity, has focused as our top priority health care for our JASC members and other people in the community. Several measures are ready to be im plemented in response to this need. W ith our highly successful JASC Heiwa Terrace senior citizen retirement home just celebrating its 10th anniversary, we take great pride that our 10-year effort to build the first Asian American nur sing home in the Midwest area is becoming a reality. The groundbreaking ceremony for the facili ty took place on March 24, 1990. It should be mentioned that major organizations and foundations which provide us with substantial financial support, specify that other Asians, not just Japanese, should be helped by the JASC and its programs. The JASC facilities have always been open to local organizations for meetings and various functions. For the use of facilities dona tions are welcomed. During the past several years, the JASC has received financial support from a number of local organizations, such as the Japanese American Council and members of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Chicago, the Futabakai PTA, and support of many volunteers from organizations such as Nisei Post 1183 American Legion, Japanese American Citizens League, Japa nese American Association and church groups, both Christian and Buddhist. We are grateful to the JASC Housing Corporation Board for use of Heiwa Terrace facilities; and the newspaper, radio and television media, including the Chicago Shimpo and its officers and staff members. We are especially indebted to our JASC Board of Directors who have voluntarily devoted so much of their time and expertise to our agency during the past year. Our community is infinitely richer for their participation. Arthur T. Morimitsu 1989-90 President Board of Directors 5 Mary Koga Hisno Fujimoto, at age 96-1986 6 EXECUTIVE DIREClOR'S REPORT Throughout FY 1990, the interest of the Japanese American community and the Japanese American Service Committee (JASC) has focused on the JASC Keiro Nursing Home project. An unprecedented contribution of more than $1.2 million has been raised from a small Japanese American Community of about 15,000 in metropolitan Chicago. At the nursing home groundbreaking ceremony this spring, an atten dance of more than 400 testified to the commit ment to the project. The undertaking has gone through several alterations due to unforseen changes caused by soil conditions and regulatory requirements. Never theless, the Certificate of Need has been obtained from the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board and we have also obtained a firm commitment from HUD. The JASC Nursing Home Committee has selected Van Kampen Merritt to issue the tax exempt bonds to finance the additional $8.3 million needed for the construction of the project. As the Japanese community continues to change and the number of lssei decline, the JASC has been preparing to respond to the changing needs of the community. As a response to the surveys the JASC has conducted in search of the unmet needs, the organization is starting a Com munity Health Program in cooperation with the Swedish Covenant Hospital. The program is being initiated at seven Japanese churches (two Buddhist Temples and five Protestant Churches) and one sta tion will be located at JASC headquarters. The program will cover health education, health screen ing, home health care and the necessary referral services to the medical professions. The aging of the Issei and Nisei population has caused a decline in charitable. contributions from our constituents, and the JASC has taken steps to maintain sound financial support needed for the continuation of its services. With the endorsements of the Consulate General of Japan, and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the JASC has initiated a Corporate Membership Drive from Japanese companies and more than 30 com panies have joined the Corporate membership in support of JASC. We hope that additional Japanese companies will join our membership in the years to come. It is amazing as we reflect on our past 44 years to realize that being aware of the pressing needs of the Japanese community and with little assistance, a small self-help organization was created and that out of these humble beginnings an organization developed which left a lasting impact on many lives. New readership is emerging from young Japanese Americans-Sansei-on the JASC Board of Directors. As the JASC forges forward on an un chartered future course, I am confident that collec tive wisdom of the JASC Board and the community leaders will continue to guide the course of the JASC and continue to make valuable contributions toward improving the quality of life of the people we serve. Masaru Nambu Executive Director 7 Mary Koga Yoshiji Sahara, at age 86-1986 8 SERVICES WE OFFER OOR CLIENTS The Japanese American Service Committee through the years has factored its programs to serve the changing needs of our client community. There were services for the lsseis, such as the discontinued sheltered workshop. Adult day care which is much needed now will probably be discontinued in a few years as the Isseis cease to exist and the Niseis are not quite ready for this service. The JASC to day concentrates on services for the Niseis. Their health and what we can do to maintain and improve it, is high on our agenda. As we open the Pandora's box and attempt to steal a glimpse of the social ills of the future, we have to anticipate the role the Sansei's (third generation Japanese Americans) will play in our organization. We hope that there will be a time when we will be able to determine their needs and provide some services to this generation. The areas of maintaining their cultural heritage and in troducing their children to it, loom big at the present time. In retrospect, the FY 1989-90 has been a productive one for JASC. What have we accomplished? We have continued our existing programs and proved our ability to serve our communi ty when it needs us. Our ADULT DAY CARE program last year served approximately 25 clients per day, total ing 31,674 hours of service. Adult Day Care aims to keep the elderly out of institutions and offers activities in a group setting which help older adults to improve their physical and mental condition. Clients participate in a number of activities and special events, such as field trips, ceramics, exercise and hear speakers on various subjects. They also get a noon meal and have the opportunity to eat together with others. ocial service and nursing staffs develop in .� d1v1dual plans for each client and monitor their progress. CASEWORK AND COUNSELING services in the past fiscal year worked with 243 clients, 201 of Japanese American ancestry. The total hours of service provided were 2,938. This is a program which assists clients to achieve adequate psychological and social life. The counselor speaks Japanese and deals with questions involving financial and health issues as well as formulating future plans for the elderly. HO�E SUPPORT services involve cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, personal care, nutritional service and hygiene educa tion to the elderly either at Heiwa Terrace, a senior citizen's residential center or at other locations. This service has one aim... to help the elderly live independently and avoid in stitutionalization. During the past year, the chore house keepers provided a total of 18,351 hours of service to 126 clients...79 of them Japanese Americans. GROUP SERVICES is a program which pro vides educational classes, mature driving, tai chi (oriental exercise), minyo (folk music and dance), penji (penmanship), origami (paper folding) and kaminingyo (paper doll con struction.) Special Japanese festivals are observed and presented as authentically as possible. Pro grams dealing with health and education are offered by this division as is a nutrition and Meals-on-Wheels services to home-bound elderly. The nutrition program served more than 10,500 meals through last year and Group Services offered duplicated services to nearly 3,200 people. 9 HIGHLIGHTS OF 1989-1990 The past fiscal year featured a number of achievements, several of them of major im portance to our organization. Topping the list was the long-awaited groundbreaking for he JASC Keiro Nursing Home which took place on March 24 and was the first major step toward the completion of the $8.3 million facility. The weather cooperated as sunny skies greeted the 400 plus attenders at the ceremony which was culminated in a recep tion which followed addresses by dignitaries and a photo "groundbreaking" session on the nursing home site. The event was another milestone in the 10-year effort to build the first Japanese American Nursing Home west of the Mississippi. It celebrated, among other things, the $1.3 million raised among the Japanese American community toward the home con struction. During the past fiscal year, JASC also ob tained a "Certificate of Need" from the state for the project. This is a step needed before tax-exempt revenue bonds can be sold and construction started. A new service program was launched by JASC. In a joint venture with the Swedish Covenant Hospital, our organization for mulated a Community Health Program. It is fashioned after the hospital's "parish nurse" program and will be aimed at our lssei and Nisei population, concentrating on individuals who need specialized or comprehensive health services, but for whom care in hospitals, outpatient clinics, or in the offices of private practitioners is unnecessary. The nurse, working in close conjunction with JASC, will help the community to recognize the needed elements for its overall health and well being and will be available to advise on health education, health screening program and provide personal counseling within the limits of the nurse's role. Other duties of the nurse will include the employ ment of community health resources for the benefit of the community and assisting in- Keiro Nursing Home Groundbreaking Annual Market Day 10 dividuals in the community with nursing services. A number of special events also highlighted the year. These included the Fuji Festival which honored Frank Sugano, chair man of the Sugano Travel Agency and Presi dent of Chicago Shimpo; the Christmas Delight Sale, annual Market Day and others. These activities help us _to raise funds needed to provide services to our clients. Finally, JASC last fiscal year developed a new membership category. We started to sell $1,000 membership shares in our organiza tion to Japanese companies which do business in Chicago area. Thirty-one com panies responded and to them go our ap preciation and thanks.

REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT The need for an agency such as the Japanese American Service Committee has not diminished in spite of the apparent inclusion of Japanese Americans into the mainstream of American life. The Civil Rights movement of the 1960's and the thrusts of Black Americans have made those of Asian ancestry aware of the necessity to speak out for our just due. Stereotyped as the model minority, Asian Americans are now articulating their concerns with vigor and advancing a truer picture of a people who, like other ethnics of color, are relegated to second class citizenship in America. In working toward an open society, JASC, in the past year, has joined other Asian American groups to seek funds which would identify gaps between needs and services. One proposal, submitted by the Midwest Asian American Coalition and for which JASC provided the funds for its preparation, was caught in the change of Administration policies and "died" despite it being rated a very fine proposal by regional officials. As of this writing, JASC is cooperating with the Japanese American Citizens League in a project to develop training materials which will identify those factors in Japanese American culture and life style that prevent Isseis from making full use of existing human service resources. This spring, we expect to participate in a Conference on the mental health needs of Asian Americans sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health. LILLIAN c. KIMURA President No longer the "quiet Americans", the Board of JASC has challenged the arbitrary cutbacks by the State in services to former mental patients in our sheltered workshop, brought suit to acquire the property adjoining the building, and sought funds from a variety of sources, including governmental and private, for extension of services to the elderly. One of the most exciting developments within the past year has been the increasing involvement of Sansei in volunteer services to the Issei. Under the auspices of JACL's Japanese American Youth, they have gone on friendly visits to shut-ins (these visits were especially appreciated at Christmas time), volunteered in our Nutrition for Elderly Program, plan to work with the Drop In Center and, just recently, they sponsored a "Casino Matinee" for the Issei. As vacancies occurred on the Board of Directors, Sanseis were appointed to serve. The mural on the north wall of the building, a Sansei effort, is tangible expression of the concern of our youth for a better world. In looking to the future, plans are being made to remodel our present facility to make it more functional and serve our expanding programs. Staff has also explored the possible sources of funding in the event we may wish to build a new facility. Elsewhere in this booklet you will read more about our programs. We invite you to visit the agency and witness the exciting activities which take place there daily. We would also like to express our appreciation to our membership, staff and many volunteers for making JASC the vital agency that it is. I would particularly like to thank all the dedicated Board members who consented to serve an extra six months because of the change in our fiscal year system. With your continued loyalty and support, JASC pledges to meet the challenges of tomorrow with wisdom and courage so that all of us may, one day, be living in a free and just society. Lillian C. Kimura President, JASC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT Organized in 1945, the Japanese American Service Committee has assisted thousands of Japanese Americans to resume life in the Chicago Metropolitan area after leaving wartime relocation centers. During the past 29 years, the agency has grown both in its scope of service and its professionalism in assisting clients. Today, the once active Issei (first generation) who first helped to organize the JASC have reached retirement age and have themselves become some of the most important clients of the agency. With the assumption of leadership roles by Nisei (second generation), the era of tightly-knit ethnic concerns is giving way to visions of the larger place of JASC in the general community. The Senior Citizens Work Center, a sheltered workshop originally conceived only for Issei aged, has undergone vital changes with its expansion to include former mental patients from the Edgewater-Uptown community as well as Nisei and other Asian clients. The JASC is now an important member of the Midwest Asian American Coalition, a group which aims to coordinate available welfare services for all Asian Americans. MASARU NAMBU Executive Director Recognizing the unique needs of aged Issei who face insurmountable frustrations due to lack of cultural and linguistic adaptability, the JASC has instituted an ambitious program of complete care through the Issei Comprehensive Program encompassing- such services as home-delivered meals, the Nutrition for Elderly program, telecare, dental and medical clinics, counselling and a wide variety of social activities. Evidence is seen daily that the lives of these otherwise isolated persons are being immeasurably enriched. The agency is also coming to grips with problems of younger members of the Japanese American community whose emerging recognition of their peculiar ethnicity has begun to take its emotional and social toll. The purchase of an adjoining property will afford opportunities for expanded services in this and other areas. Although JASC continues to place emphasis on assisting the culturally different, it is always cognizant of the areas in the wider community to which it can apply its unique expertise and cooperates strongly with all community welfare organizations. With the continued support of all, JASC can expand and improve its ability to provide sophisticated and concerned human care and to contribute to the improved well-being of the entire community.

The Work Center helps participants maintain their sense of worth and at the same time allows for continued social interaction.

The staff is constantly looking for a variety of work in order to reduce monotony and expand aptitudes in clients. The Work Center has been undergoing a gradual but significant change in that it is no longer concerned only with Issei aged but has expanded to include former mental patients from sheltered care facilities in Edgewater-Uptown as well as older Nisei. As older Issei diminish in number, the Work Center is looking for more clients among Nisei who are reaching retirement age and can benefit from its services. The staff is gratified by the growing evidence of improvement in those participating in this program. l ) /SSE/ COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM 1 1 In a society where youth and language facility are highly valued, to be an lssei is a difficult proposition. Age, language and cultural barriers loom large and resolution of resulting difficulties is tenuous. The simple mechanics of living such as obtaining information over the telephone, filling out social security forms, and seeking medical assistance are arduous tasks to those in this position. But the inability to handle the day-to-day events of normal living is only part of the problem. A larger and more difficult challenge is that of pervasive loneliness and isolation, a condition shared by all aged persons but magnified for the Issei by lack of adequate cultural and linguistic facility. The JASC has instituted the Issei Comprehensive Program to assist in alleviating these unique problems. It is designed to attend to the social and DOROTHY KANEKO Group Worker emotional as well as physical needs of aged Issei through such programs as home delivered meals, telecare, homemakers services, dental and medical care, a communal living program and a drop-in center. Monthly social and club activities expand educational and cultural opportunities. The recent establishment of the Federal Nutrition Program at JASC under which low-cost meals are served to those over 60 has added an important dimension to the total program. In the future, JASC expects to expand and improve on all facets of the Issei Comprehensive Program as much as finances and personnel will allow and new services will be introduced upon demonstration of changing needs. The goal, however, is not simply to provide more services but to enhance the quality of the lives of the aged through caring and sensitive programming. 1 ) COUNSELING SERVICE Counseling services have always been available at the Japanese American Service Committee, but with the marked increase in the number and variety of clients needing help, the agency established last year a formal Counseling Department, staffed by four counselors and a part-time consulting psycholo gist. In addition to increased counseling requests from the primary target community of Japanese Americans, clients include 40 former mental patients who are employed in the Work Center as well as many non-Japanese Asians. The Council for Community Services in Metropolitan Chicago has also requested that JASC be one of the agencies providing counseling to the impaired aged. The Counseling Department is concentrating on providing the best and most appropriate types of counseling to clients in all of these areas, an effort requiring the application of the highest and most sophisticated standards. Such areas as referral services, intake procedures, case consultations, staff meetings, group discussions and town hall meetings are constantly undergoing close scrutiny to improve their effectiveness. It is hoped that clients will receive increasingly adequate answers for their deepest concerns. EIKO FRICKE Counseling Director HAND-IN-HAND Formed in October, 1969, Hand-in-Hand is an organization supported by the Japanese American Service Committee whose purpose is to ·increase public awareness of the problems and possibilities of exceptional children and to provide informed support for the parents of such children. Meeting regularly on the second Friday of each month, the group discusses common concerns and plans activ ities which will enhance the lives of children with a variety of handicaps such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, mongolism and learning disabilities. Speech therapy classes are held every other Satur day from 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon at the Academy of the Sacred Heart led by a professional therapist. The group was originally organized with funds raised by the Young Japanese Americans, an arm of the Japanese American Citizens League, and membership is open to any interested persons whether or not they have any direct connections with handicapped children. Through discussions with professionals in the field, planning for relevant legislative action, and community education, the group provides a much needed human service to parents of exceptional children as well as to all concerned persons. BLOOD ASSURANCE PROGRAM As part of the people-helping-people program, the Japanese American Service Committee implemented a Blood Assurance Program in 1973 which provides free blood replacement coverage to all members of JASC and their families should the need arise. Approximately 4000 people are now covered and already several Issei, Nisei and Sansei have been assisted. CATHY YAMADA Blood Assurance Program Coordinator In order to maintain coverage, 4% of the total membership must donate blood. This plan assures members of JASC that they will not be charged for blood transfusions. The plan also has been extended to cover members of other Japanese American community organizations if 4% of their memberships have donated blood. Hopefully, programs such as this one will make people become conscious of the great need in veterans' hospitals, disaster emergencies and medical research. Any blood donated over and above the minimum requirements for coverage of the group will go to help these other worthy causes. In this way, it is hoped that the public will be educated to the need for development of a voluntary community-wide blood program. Present plans to cover 6000 people in the Japanese American community will require the donation of 240 pints of blood in 1974. Mobile units accepting blood donations will be at the JASC building on June 24 and November 18, 1974. Everyone who is able to give is urged to contribute blood toward this worthy effort. Grateful acknowledgment is extended to the following people who have donated blood as of December 31, 1973: JASC BLOOD ASSURANCE PROGRAM BLOOD DONORS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1973 Hisa Amimoto Minoru Amimoto Paul Ase Mikio Doi Tetsuo Doi Leo Edwards Edward Farmilant Eiko Fricke Kathy Fujii Mickey Fujii George Fujimori Glenn Y.

They are students in the JASC Tutoring Program, initiated three years ago by several Sansei who wanted to offer their services in an enrichment program for neighbor hood children. From 10:00 to 12:00 each Saturday morning, volunteer tutors offer assistance in mathematics, reading and the sciences. They try to give students as much individual attention as they can, and where possible, a one-to-one ratio is maintained. An effort is made to keep the sessions informal and flexible so that each student can work at his own pace. In addition to classroom studies, various field trips are scheduled during the year. This year, the children have visited the Museum of Science and Industry, Lincoln Park Zoo, River Trails Nature Center, and the Goodman Theater where they enjoyed a performance of "The Three Musketeers". Although the program is only for two hours a week, it is felt that the students benefit from the individual attention and it is hoped that the service can be expanded to reach more children. PROJECT SANSEI Project Sansei began in 1973 as a program to encourage the healthy acknowl edgment of their ethnicity among Sansei (third generation) and younger Japanese Americans. It began in the months of April and May with various cultural events, includ ing Japanese martial arts, dancing, cooking and flower arranging. The Project was spearheaded by a few older Sansei who saw that Japanese Ameri cans were slowly losing contact with the many positive aspects of their heritage, resulting in a confusion of identity among many of them. An important event was the completion Picture of Mural being painted by Sansei. of an outside mural on the north wall of the JASC building which was conceived by young artists and executed by members of the Sansei community. It depicts the history of Japanese immigration, hard work, internment, joy, unhappiness, personal aspiration, and ethnic pride. The mural has something to say to everyone, but it is particularly meaningful in establishing a positive Japanese American identity. The mural serves to point up a basic goal of Project Sansei, which is to help Sansei live successfully as individuals with unique and important ethnic contributions to make to the community. This not only provides armament against stereotyping and racism but a strong point from which to deal with them. This program will continue to grow as an important concern of JASC in the future. FUJI FESTIVAL The Fuji Festival Fund Raising Dinner, sponsored annually in the fall by the Japanese American Service Committee, has become firmly grounded as one of the cultural highlights of the community as well as a highly successful fund raising event. The Third Fuji Festival was held on September 23, 1973, at the McCormick Inn, attracting 450 people who were treated to a delicious dinner of teriyaki beef. Entertainment included Japanese music, dance and exhibits and featured the lively music of "Moses and the Highbrows", a talented group from the Philippines. The Fourth Fuji Festival is scheduled for Sunday, September 29, 1974, at the McCormick Inn. This glamorous event affords both honorary and regular JASC members an opportunity to contribute substantially to the various programs of JASC. MARKET DAY Market Day, an annual fund raising event held on the first Saturday of June, was first instituted in 1971. An average net income of more than $3000 is realized during this one day affair. Merchandise on sale includes chinaware, kitchen utensils, small appliances and a wide variety of gift articles. Food items such as lunch boxes and home-baked goods bring in a healthy portion of the income. Market Day 4, held on June 1, was again a successful community wide effort aided by community merchants and sales tables manned by volunteers. JASC PICNIC The annual community picnic sponsored by the Japanese American Service Committee has become a tradition anticipated by young and old alike since its inception in 1948. Held on the first Sunday of August each year, the event attracts more than 2,000 people. Races for all ages, door prizes, Japanese folk dancing, demonstrations of martial arts, performances by the Nisei Ambassadors Drum and Bugle Corps and other attractions have been part of the programs during past picnics. Community merchants participate generously by donating most of the prizes. The picnic affords opportunity for good fellowship and serves as one of the unifying forces of the community.
JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT 1975-1976 Report from the President When the founders of the Chicago Resettlers Committee initiated a self-help effort in 1945 to assist Americans of Japanese ancestry resettle in Chicago from World War 11 detention camps, little did they realize that the agency, now known as the Japanese American Service Committee, would be come not only a sophisticated agency with a budget in excess of $500,000 but also a model for ethnically based social service delivery. In the ensuing 31 years, JASC has become an increasingly vital force for service to the total Japanese community of Chicago and to the Lakeview, Uptown and Edgewater neigh borhoods. This past year, JASC has made additional gains and progress which we are happy to share with you in this Annual Report. In calendar year 1975, our Blood Assurance Program held two blood donation drives which yielded more than the number of pints needed to assure the coverage of 6,000 persons in our program. By Board action, the surplus blood was donated to a child suffering from hemophilia. The lssei Gerontology Project was concluded with the development of training films and video tapes, a manual for helping the lssei, and an information handbook in English and Japanese. Professionals in the fields of gerontology and human service work were invited to preview the films and positive comments were received about the sensitive way in which life experiences of the lssei were presented and the value of these materials for training people to work with the elderly. Our thanks go to the project staff under the direction of Momoko Iko and to Tom Hibino, Midwest Regional Director of the Japanese American Citizens League, for their dedi cated labors to see this ambitious project through to completion. The Board sponsored the usual annual fund raising events of Market Day and the Fuji Festival, both of which netted more income than in previous years. In addition, the Board undertook the monumental task of presenting for their first appearance in Chicago the Tokyo String Quartet in concert at Orchestra Hall. The Quartet greatly pleased the audience and received superlative reviews from the music critics· of the major daily newspapers. Our sincere thanks go to Katharine Middleton who originated the idea of this benefit, Sada Szathmary who engineered the feat of filling the hall, and to all the volunteers who were so instrumental in the success of this fund raising effort. In program year 1975-76, there has been a significant increase in programming for and participa tion by Nisei, Sansei and families of businessmen from Japan. The agency is also preparing for the eventuality of serving Nisei senior citizens. To this end, a prq_posal has been submitted for a foundation grant to conduct a needs assessment survey on "aging" Nisei. Former Board President, Dan Kuzuhara, has been helpful in guiding us in planning for this concern. In addition to work on projects and events,, the Board is responsible for overseeing the maintentnce functions of the organization such as assuring'' the adequacy of the building and grounds, campaigning for new members and renewals, and providing staff with optimal working conditions and benefits of employment. As we prepare these words for publication, we are awaiting official notification that the U.S. Depart ment of Housing and Urban Development has awarded JASC a grant to build a 100-unit congregate housing project for the elderly. The development of the proposal was undertaken after a community survey and consultation with community leaders indicated support and need for such a project. The task is just beginning - the selection of the site, the design of a suitable facility, the construction of the building and finally the occupancy. It will be neces sary to mount a drive to raise "seed" money so that this project can get off the ground. All of the progress made by JASC would not have been possible without the dedication of the Board and Staff who give so generously of their time and energies to assure that the agency is on target in terms of meeting human needs. We are grateful, too, to the many volunteers who make it possible for our work to be extended to many more people than can be served by a small staff. We wish to recognize the dynamic leadership of Masaru Nambu, our Executive Director, for it is his creativity, zeal and enthusiasm which serve as an inspiration to all. Lastly, we count on our many friends and supporters for their con tinued interest in helping the agency improve the quality of life in this city. Lillian C. Kimura President of the Board Executive Director's Report Fiscal year 1975-76 is about to be concluded and we can all look back with a sense of satisfaction since it has been a very fruitful one in which the Japanese American Service Committee has accomplished much. The lssei Comprehensive Program has been ex panded and each day is filled with a variety of activities including new programs which have been added to serve Nisei, Sansei and Japanese nationals. These programs are supported by many volunteers who act as instructors or aides. As a participant in the Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA) program, the JASC has accepted 15 senior citizens. These senior citizens assist in the programming as workshop, group work, social worker, homemaker, outreach and clerical aides. The Senior Citizens Work Center, the sheltered workshop, remains a very important and effective part of JASC in the Japanese community and the community at large. Efficient management of the program enables it to operate fully with an adequate flow of sub-contracts from businesses which support the Work Center and are satisfied with its perform ance. Recently, a plan was completed to put more emphasis on assisting the lssei in coping with their aging problems. Group dynamics, individual counsel ing, and educational classes will be provided to assist them in this inevitable adjustment. A concerted effort will be made to train staff in relevant knowledge and skills so that more effective assistance can be given. Our purpose is to assist the lssei in altering their life styles from DOING to BEING. In October, 1975, the Economics Research Asso ciates completed its research designed to assess future congregate housing needs of Nisei. The study con firmed our assumption that there is a great need for such a housing project. The JASC applied to the Department of Housing and Urban Development under Section 202 of the Program for Housing for the Elderly and Handicapped and received the maximum allocation of 100 units. The Congregate Housing Committee is currently hard at work to complete necessary plans for the project. Just as in 1961 the JASC made the significant decision to concentrate its efforts toward providing needed services and additional programs for aging lssei, the agency is again facing a similar challenge in anticipating different types of needs as Nisei advance in their age. The JASC has applied to the Community Trust for funds to conduct a needs assessment study of Nisei in the Chicago area and a positive response is expected. Films produced by the lssei Gerontology Project, completed in December, 1975, were previewed and received high commendations. We expect that the films will be utilized by social service agencies and educational institutions. The Japanese American Service Committee of 1976 is a far cry from the agency created 31 years ago. Only through continual self-improvement, self scrutiny and courage to meet changing needs with innovation and heightened concern can the Japanese American Service Committee preserve the vision of our founders and live up to its purpose of giving complete human care. Masaru Nambu Executive Director Social Service Division The Social Service Division of JASC coordinates all group and individual services offered by the agency. This includes counseling, educational and social pro grams, nutrition, and medical-dental services for the aged as part of the lssei Comprehensive Program. Since April, 1976, efforts have been expanded to reach Nisei, Sansei, new immigrants, and business men's families from Japan in need of similar services. Under the direction of Eiko Fricke, Social Serv.ice Director, the JASC has grown markedly in its ability to offer high quality, concerned services. An important part of the work of the Social Service Division is casework services to al I who seek help. This includes individual counseling, home visita tions, telecare, homemaker services and referrals. Classes in ceramics, cooking, arts and crafts, garden ing, body dynamics and other activities provide added dimensions to daily living and now include persons of all ages from young people to senior citizens. The over-all goal of the Division is to provide a maximum supportive environment for the continuing mental and physical well-being of all clients. The Community Fund, the Mayor's Office for Senior Citizens, and Catholic Charities are among the agencies which have recognized the value of these services through special funding this year. The staff of seven in the Division includes profes sional social workers as well as those hired under the Comprehensive Employment Training Act. Dedicated volunteers from the community are an important part of the team effort to reach out to more people and to expand on-going programs. A long-term goal is the establishment of day care programs for both the elderly and the young. Mrs. Eiko Fricke Senior Citizens Work Center The JASC Senior Citizens Work Center, a sheltered workshop begun 16 years ago as an identity sustaining service to retired lssei, continues to serve over 100 individuals daily, one-third of whom are clients from the Edgewater-Uptown Mental Health Center. Although most of the others are lssei and Nisei, there are a small number of Koreans, Chinese and one non-Asian person in the program. As more and more Nisei reach retirement age, the Work Center is looking for ways to serve persons from this group more effectively. Although the Center serves to supplement small incomes of the aged, its more important work is to provide opportunities for social interaction and to preserve a sense of self-worth in all participants. To this end, counseling as well as many non-work activities are offered at the Center. The Work Center has continued to maintain a good sub-contract program this year in spite of the unsettled economic picture and has operated at full capacity. The projection for the coming fiscal year appears to be very optimistic. This is due in large part to the efficient management of the Work Center by Director Fred Odanaka and the high reputation the Work Center has attained in the business community. Under a professional psychologist, supervisors and staff are being trained to observe clients more clinically, to record findings accurately, and to note any changes in clients as they occur. Through this careful observation a program designed to better maintain the clients' sense of self-worth can be developed. Mr. Fred Odanaka Senior Citizens Congregate Housing The JASC is pleased to be able to announce that the long discussed congregate housing project for senior citizens is becoming a reality. Official word was received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development on May 17, 1976, that JASC has been selected to receive funds totalling$2,700,000 for the construction of a 100-unit facility under Sec tion 202, Program for Housing for the Elderly and Handicapped. The Board has already begun work on the selection of a site and designs for the unit, construction of which must begin within 18 months. Consultants in the fields of construction engineering, gerontology and social work, legal aid, fund raising and other important functions have already been contacted to begin serious study of all details of the plan. It will be necessary to raise some funds initially to get the project off the ground, but all indications are that the community will strongly support this worthwhile effort. Since projections show that the facility will not be ready for occupancy for five to seven years, it is envisioned as housing for retired Nisei as well as for lssei. Hand-in-Hand Formed in October, 1969, Hand-in-Hand is an organization supported by the Japanese American Service Committee whose purpose is to increase public awareness of the problems and possibilities of exceptional children and to provide informed support for the parents of such children. Meeting regularly on the second Friday of each month, the group discusses common concerns and plans activities which will enhance the lives of children with a variety of handicaps such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, mongolism and learning disabilities. Speech therapy classes are held every other Saturday from 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon at the Academy of the Sacred Heart led by a professional therapist. The group was originally organized with funds raised by· the Young Japanese Ameri"cans, an arm of the Japanese American Citizens League, and member ship is open to any interested persons whether or not they have any direct connections with handicapped children. Through discussions with professionals in the field, planning for relevant legislative action, and community education, the group provides a much needed human service to parents of exceptional children as well as to all concerned persons. TutoringProgram Every Saturday morning through the school year, the Japanese American Service Committee building becomes a classroom for some fifteen young children ranging in age from seven to fourteen. They are students in the JASC Tutoring Program, started five years ago by several Sansei who wanted to offer their services in an enrichment program for neighborhood children. From 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon each Saturday, volunteer tutors offer assistance in mathematics, reading and the sciences. They try to give students as much individual attention as they can and where possible a one-to-one ratio is maintained. The sessions are informal and flexible so that each student can work at his own pace. Occasional field trips to museums, zoos and other places of interest enlarge the learning experience. Although the program is only for two hours a week, it is felt that students benefit from this individual attention and it is hoped that the service can be expanded to reach more children. JASCPicnic l l The annual community picnic sponsored by the Japanese American Service Committee ha? be�ome a _ tradition anticipated by young and old alike since ,ts inception in 1948. Held on the first Sunday of August each year, the event attracts more than 2000 people.

Con:imun,ty merchants participate gener ously by donat,�g most of the prizes. The picnic affords opportu�Ity for good fellowship and serves as one of the unifying forces of the community. JASCBlood Assurance Program The Blood Assurance Program begun in 1973, provides free blood replacement coverage to all members of JASC and their families. In addition, members of participating Japanese American agencies and churches are covered if 4% of their memberships donate blood. In 1975, 6000 people were covered through the donation of more than 240 pints of blood. A great many lssei, Nisei ad Sansei have already been assisted through this life-saving program. If you or a member of your family is in need of blood replacement, be sure to cal I the JASC so that the hospital can be notified that the blood is being replaced through the JASC Blood Assurance Program. The 1976 drive was begun on Monday, June 28, when a bloodmobile from Michael Reese Hospital came to the JASC from 3:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. Another opportunity will be given on Monday, November 15, for those who were not able to give on June 28. Grateful acknowledgement is extended to the following people who donated blood for the 1975 drive: 1975 Donors Akiyama, Yuri Arima, John Asai, George Ase, Paul Azuma, Dennis Brown, Mark Cairo, Charles Cass, D.

The Fifth Annual Fuji Festival was held on Sunday, September 21, 1975, at the Marriott Motor Hotel. In commemoration of the 30th anniver sary of the agency, the program featured a tribute to pioneer founders of JASC, Kohachiro Sugimoto and Harry Mayeda, and recognition of past presidents of the agency. Highlights in the history of JASC were shown in a slide presentation. Entertainment featured Sharky, comedian and singer, and Ann Yoshioka, 1975 Cherry Blossom Queen of Hawaii. Tom Teraji was the general chairman of the event which netted over $13,000.00. The 6th Annual Fuji Festival is scheduled for Sunday, September 26, 1976, at the Marriott Motor Hotel. MarketD� Market Day, an annual fund raising event held on the first Saturday of June, was first instituted in 1971. Merchandise on sale includes chinaware, gift items, handcrafts, and plants. Food items such as box lunches and baked goods bring in a healthy portion of Tokyo String Quartet This year an exciting fund-raising event was held at Orchestra Hall on March 17, 1976, when the world famous Tokyo String Quartet was sponsored by the Japanese American Service Committee. The talented quartet consisting of Koichiro Harada, first violinist; Kikuei Ikeda, second violinist; Kazuhide lsomura, violist; -and Sadao Harada, cellist, played quartets by Haydn, Bartok, and Beethoven to the unanimous acclaim of all music critics of Chicago metropolitan the income. More than $3000.00 is usually realized from this event. The 6th Annual Market Day held on Saturday, June 5, was again a successful community wide effort aided by generous donations and sales tables serviced by volunteers. newspapers. The JASC had the distinction of intro ducing the Tokyo String Quartet for the first time to the Chicago music scene. The evening was enjoyed by all and netted the agency over $7000.00. Special thanks go to hard working co-chairpersons for the event, Katharine Middleton and Sada Szathmary, and the enthusiastic crew of volunteer ticket sales people. A committee is already at work arranging for next year's event which will feature another talented artist.

JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT 1974-1975 � JI .Japm1eseAmeriean Servif'Al Commilfee Reportfrom the President 1975 marks the thirtieth year of service to the Japanese community of Chicago by the Japanese American Service Committee. 0 riginally called the Chicago Resettlers Com mittee, it was established to assist persons of Japanese ancestry in the relocation process to this city from concentration camps where they had been detained for the duration of World War II. Although most Nikkei, in the intervening years, have made satisfactory adjustments to living in the Midwest, JASC as an agency continues to exist because there are still problems and needs peculiar to our group which must be alleviated. This past year, the Board of Directors approved a remodeling project so that the activities area could be made more func tional and attractive. This has resulted in a significant increase in participation, not only by lssei, but also by non-Japanese senior citizens of the Uptown area and by Nisei and Sansei. Through a grant from the Administration on Aging to the national Japanese American Citizens League, JASC took over the Geron tology project to develop training materials for students of social work and providers of human services so that they can better un derstand the needs and problems of the lssei elderly. Through the development of video tape, film and written materials, this project will also serve to acquaint our Sansei with their cultural heritage. The Community Development Act of 197 4 provided the impetus for JASC to form a committee on housing for the elderly. Under the chairmanship of Thomas Teraji, the com mittee has spent many hours determining the course of action. The next steps will be to undertake a feasibility study and to involve the community in the decision to build a high rise project for senior citizens. Dr. George Kittaka, chairman of the Nurs ing Home Care Committee, worked with others to conduct a survey of the commu nity for the need for nursing home services. The recommendation from this committee led to the creation of a Homemaker program as a support service to assist lssei to con tinue to live independently and avoid institu tionalization for as long as possible. I n c o o p e r a t i o-n w i t h t h e J a p a n e s e Executive Director's Report American Citizens League , members of JASC undertook an Asian Voter Registra tion Drive to encourage Asians to take the first step in participatory government. The large number of Asian residents in the 48th Ward may make it possible some day for an Asian American to hold an elected office. As we look to the year ahead-the bicen tennial celebration of this nation-we see increased attention being paid to Asian peoples caused by the large influx of Asian immigrants and the current controversy on the resettlement of Vietnam refugees in this country. These may give rise to increased racist reaction by the majority population All Asians must band with others of good will to prevent this from happening. 1975 is also International Women's Year as decreed by the United Nations. JASC hopes to sponsor a program in which Asian women can begin to realize their full poten tial and to work with vigor for a-better society. For the past thirty years, the Japanese community of Chicago has responded gen erously to the call for support. As we move into our 31st year, we continue to ask you to be PEOPLE-SHARING AND CARING. As the Japanese American Service Commit tee concludes its 30th year in 1975, it is gratifying to note the many significant con tributions the agency has made to the C h i c a g o Me t r o p o l i t a n a r e a . 1 9 7 4-75 has again been a year of progress and achievement for the JASC in its continuing efforts to meet the ever-changing needs in our community. A long-awaited dream was realized in No vember, 1974, when the lssei Drop-In Cen ter was opened with an immediate expansion of all services and programs for lssei. Com plete renovation of this part of the building has resulted in a more attractive and larger space for the Nutrition Program for Senior Citizens and other activities. The same facil ities are now being used during evening hours by Nisei and Sansei groups. Com- munity use of the building has seen a six-fold rise. The lssei Comprehensive Program con tinues to provide vital life services for our aged. A large number of volunteers from the community forms the core of the delivery system for all services. Employment of a bilingual homemaker has enabled the agency to extend further its help toward those isolated individuals and families who have no other way to maintain self-sufficient lives which they prefer to institutionalized ones. Counseling services in Japanese have been expanded to provide increased support to elderly lssei whose advancing age has intensified the need for help in coping with problems brought on by physical and emo tional isolation. The sheltered workshop program, the Lillian C. Kimura 3 Senior Citizens Work Center, has been a very important and effective part of JASC services to both the Japanese community and the community at large. Through the year, the Work Center served 120 individ uals, of whom 59% were lssei, 5% Nisei, 4% other elderly persons, and 32% clients from the Edgewater-Uptown Community Mental Health Center. The agency has paid special attention to programming in the Work Center for total well-being and better adjusted life styles for all clients. It should be noted that there has been a gradual but noticeable in crease of Nisei and other Asian elderly par ticipating in this program Efficient manage ment has kept sub-contracts coming to the JASC in spite of the discouraging present economy. Following the tradition of facing changing needs with imagination and a sense of re sponsibility for the future, the leadership of JASC is now concerned with the anticipated needs of Nisei in Chicago as they face retire ment in the next 5 to lO years. The present feasibility study of community attitudes toward a senior citizens housing project is expected to confirm a long surmised need for congregate housing with appropriate social and medical services for residents. Along with housing needs, the agency is continuing its study of program possibilities for Nisei. Although the JASC has had a very fruitful year, it is very aware of other unmet needs in the community. With the firm conviction that we are our brothers' keepers, the JASC will continue to be responsive and innovative in planning and imaginative in developing a partnership with our community leadership to provide more comprehensive and caring services for lssei, Nisei, Sansei and others in need. At the same time, the agency will continue to develop financial resources, im proved management and service effective ness, keeping in mind the hundreds and thousands of people we serve and will be serving in the future. This is the ultimate inspiration which binds us all and stimulates us to move aggressively and effectively into the future. Masaru Nambu Executive Director 5 Social Service Division The Social Service Division of JASC in cludes the lssei Comprehensive Program and all counseling services at the agency. Although the staff is very busy with lssei clients, increasing numbers of Nisei, stu dents, new immigrants, and businessmen's families from Japan seek help. Under the direction of Eiko Fricke, Social Service Director, the JASC offers high quality, con cerned services including counseling, referral services, nutrition program for senior citizens, home delivered meals, homemaker services, telecare, visitations and dental and medical care. With the completion of the lssei Drop-In Center, programs for lssei have been increased to 22, not including Senior Citizen Work Center activities. Drop-In Center pro grams include classes in cooking, ceramics, arts and crafts, brush painting, gardening, singing, body dynamics, movies, and games such as go and shogi. The monthly social programs, which include field trips to inter- esting places in the city, attract about 100 each month. These programs are designed to meet the social, psychological and phys ical needs of the aged. The enthusiastic re sponse and evident happiness of the people make this a very satisfying part of the serv ices at JASC. Counseling, available to all persons who seek help in any way, is an important part of all activities. This service is designed to provide a maximum supportive environment for all. The Community Fund and the Mayor's Office for Senior Citizens have recognized the vital need for this service by special fund ing received this year. The Social Service Division at JASC would not be able to function without dedicated volunteers of all ages from the community to whom JASC is deeply indebted. As pro grams expand to meet changing needs, more involvement from the community is seen, both as participants and as volunteers. 7 Senior Citizens Work Center Issei Gerontology Project The JASC Senior Citizens Work Center, a sheltered workshop, has undergone vigor ous changes since its inception 15 years ago as an identity-sustaining service to re tired lssei. During the past several years, the program has expanded to include Nisei, former mental patients from sheltered care facilities in the Edgewater-Uptown area, and non-Japanese Asians. As more and more Nisei reach retirement age, the Work Center is looking for ways to serve persons from this group more effectively. Although the Center serves to supplement small incomes of the aged, its more impor- tant work is to provide opportunities for social interaction and to preserve a sense of self-worth in all participants. With this in mind, many non-work group activities are encouraged whenever feasible. In spite of the downturn in the economy during the past year when many sheltered workshops faltered, the JASC Senior Citizens Work Center has been able to main tain its usual rate of sub-contracted work. This is a reflection of the efficient manage ment of the Center b'y Director Fred Odanaka and the high reputation the Center has attained in the industrial community. The lssei Gerontology Project, a program funded at $50,566.00 by the Administration on Aging for the period of January 15, 1975, through September 30, 1975, is being de veloped under the auspices of the Japanese American Service Committee by Ms. Momoko lko assisted by a part-time secre tary and three part-time paraprofessional development people. The Project has the dual purpose of creating access material of direct use to elderly Japanese and the devel opment of a training packet to be used by paraprofessional providers of human serv ices to lssei. Through video tapes, films, and written materials, the packet will aid in famil iarizing those who work with Japanese elderly with their unique values and needs. After September 30, 1975, the Japanese American Service Committee will have ready for distribution to providers of services copies of the lssei Handbook (information guide of services and benefits for Japanese and other Seniors) and training packet pro totypes. This project can be of invaluable help to JASC in its work as well as to all agencies dealing with lssei clients. It can alsd serve to acquaint Sansei and others with some of their cultural heritage. 8 9 Proposed Senior Citizen Housing Project The Board of the JASC has authorized a feasibility study to determine the market and need for a 200-unit congregate living facility for senior citizens to be built at some location convenient to the JASC building. The pro posed plan, if accepted, can be a 100% financed one with all necessary conve niences such as a drug store, emergency medical call system, treatment rooms, craft room, laundry and dining room. JASC would extend its social services to the residents of the facility. Since the project will take 4 ½ to 7 years to build at the earliest, it is envisioned as housing mainly for Nisei and others rather than primarily for lssei residents. The project will be one for serious consideration by the JASC should the feasibility study prove favorable. Hand-in-Hand Formed in October, 1969, Hand-in-Hand is an organization supported by the Japanese American Service Committee whose pur pose is to increase public awareness of the problems and possibilities of exceptional children and to provide informed support for the parents of such children. Meeting regu larly on the second Friday of each month, the group discusses common concerns and plans activities which will enhance the lives of children with a variety of handicaps such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, mon golism and learning disabilities. Speech therapy classes are held every other Satur day from 10:00 AM. to 12:00 noon at the Academy of the Sacred Heart led by a pro fessional therapist. The group was originally organized with f u n d s r a i s e d by t h e You n g Ja p a n e s e Ame r i c a n s , a n a r m o f t h e Ja p a n e s e American Citizens League, and membership is open to any interested persons whether or not they have any direct connections with handicapped children. Through discussions with professionals in the field, planning for relevant legislative action, and community education, the group provides a much needed human service to parents of excep tional children as well as to all concerned persons. r \ JASCBlood Assurance Program 1974 Donors The Blood Assurance Program, begun in 1973, provides free blood replacement cov arage to all members of JASC and their families. In addition, members of participat ing Japanese American agencies and churches are covered if 4% of their member ships donate blood. In 1974, 6000 people were covered through the donation of more than 240 pints of blood. A great many lssei, Nisei and Sansei have already been assisted through this life-saving program. If you or a member of your family is in need of blood, be sure to call the JASC Arima, John T. Ase, Paul Aylesworth, Dahlia Y. Brain, Sharon Brown, Mark Doi, Mikio** Doi, Tetsuo* Flores, Rev.

The Fourth Fuji Festival was held on September 29, 197 4, at McCormick Inn and featured a tribute to Congressman Sidney R. Yates for his many services to Japanese Americans and per formances by Kuniaki Hata, baritone; the Minyo Dance Club of the Midwest Buddhist Temple; and the Opera Department of the University of Illinois presenting excerpts from Madame Butterfly in Kabuki style. Work on the Fifth Fuji Festival is already underway with Tom Teraji as chairman. It will be held on Sunday, September 21, 1975, at the Marriott Motor Hotel, 8535 W. Higgins Road. MarketD� Market Day, an annual fund raising event held on the first Saturday of June, was first instituted in 1971. Merchandise on sale in cludes chinaware, gift items, handcrafts, and small appliances. Food items such as box lunches and baked goods bring in a healthy portion of the income. Market Day 5, held on June 7, was again a successful commu nity wide effort aided by generous donations and sales tables manned by volunteers. This year, many craft items made by lssei were featured. 17 JASCPicnic The annual community picnic sponsored by the Japanese American Service Com mittee has become a tradition anticipated by young and old alike since its inception in 1948. Held on the first Sunday of August each year, the event attracts more than 2000 people. Races for all ages, door prizes, Japanese folk dancing, demonstrations of martial arts, performances by the Nisei Ambassadors Drum and Bugle Corps and other attractions have been part of the pro grams of past picnics. Community mer chants participate generously by donating most of the prizes. The picnic affords oppor tunity for good fellowship and serves as one of the unifying forces of the community. TutoringProgram Every Saturday morning through the school year, the Japanese American Service Com mittee building becomes a classroom for some fifteen young children ranging in age from seven to fourteen. They are students in the JASC Tutoring Program, started four years ago by several Sansei who wanted to offer their services in an enrichment pro gram for neighborhood children. From 10 00 AM. to 12:00 noon each Sat urday, volunteer tutors offer assistance in mathematics, reading and the sciences. They try to give students as much individual attention as they can and where possible a one-to-one ratio is maintained. The sessions are informal and flexible so that each stu dent can work at his own pace. Occasional field trips to museums, zoos and other places of interest enlarge the learning experience. Although the program is only for two hours a week, it is felt that students benefit from this individual attention and it is hoped that the service can be expanded to reach more children.

JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITIEE IB ■■il ■III THI For 46 years the Japanese American Service Committee has extended its hand to the Japa nese American community, and to quote French writer and philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre " ...each of the gestures carried the weight of a commitment." The commitment began after World War II when thousands of Japanese Americans left de tention camps and sought a new life in cities like Chicago. The JASC was started in 1946 with a mission to improve the lives of these people and provided programs stressing acclimatization in a new environment and citizenship preparation. The commitment continued through the years as JASC served its constituency with pro grams dealing with employment assistance, shel tered workshop, meal service, adult day care and health services. Today the commitment shines brighter than ever as we prepare to enter the latest stage of our commitment... that of opening the JASC Keiro Nursing Home. In this Annual Report you will see com mitment displayed in the President's Message, the Executive Director's Report, our report on the Keiro Nursing Home and in the highlights of the year. The commitment is present when we dis cuss the services we provide and there is a defi nite commitment by our membership which gives the JASC financial and other support. Commitment is also exemplified by those who respond to our different fund drives such as the Holiday Appeal, Contributor's Fund, General Contributions, Memorial and Matching Gifts. We also appreciate the commitment of corporations and foundations which provide us with support and of the many Japanese companies which are doing business in Chicago and have become our corporate members. Towards the end of this report you will find a listing of our Board of Directors. Their com mitment is of utmost importance to us. Please share with us our commitment to our community and others that we serve. Welcome aboard our commitment. THI ll ■■iD ■III PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT With the biggest undertaking in JASC history-- that of the construction of the Keiro Nursing Home-- now an accomplished fact, our organization has to look ahead and stand ready to meet new challenges in the immedi ate future and beyond. Of course, while the physical plant of Keiro now is more than 80 per cent completed, there remains much to be done before doors open as expected early next spring. Among the immediate concerns is hiring an administrator for the home, getting on board other staff, starting to screen applicants to the home and attending to the myriad of details which accompany the opening of an $8.3 million facility. I am certain that all these things will fall into place thanks to the hard and devoted efforts of the Keiro Nursing Home Committee, headed by Thomas S. Teraji who succeeded the late Richard Yamada, Sr., its first chairman. Our second fund drive is still about $520,000 short of goal and we shall work hard in the coming months to reach the $970,000 needed to cover start-up costs and the expected deficit in the first 18-months of operation. The opening of the JASC Keiro Nursing Home will mean another step in the JASC Long Range Committee's plan to complement the care of senior citizens in the community and those residing in Heiwa Terrace retirement complex which JASC sponsored and erected 11 years ago. Although the JASC Board of Directors will set the overall policies of the nursing home, our community organizations will be represented by the JASC Keiro Advisory Board which will be informed on all phases of the project's operation. Besides the successful operation of the Keiro Nursing Home, visions of the future for JASC hold many challenges in other areas. How we see JASC in the next years and even into the next millennium, our Executive Director Masaru Nambu will discuss in his report. Finally, on behalf of the JASC Board of Directors, I wish to acknowledge the great support we have received from our community people and organizations. We also have been helped a great deal by members of the Futabakai PTA as well as by officers and members of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Chicago. We have received much guidance and help from the Chicago Consulate General's staff and officers headed by Consul General Toshiaki Tanabe. Also thanks for the continued support and cooperation provided by the publisher and editor of Chicago Shim po, Frank Sugano, and Kay Kawaguchi, general manager. Commitment is the characteristic which runs throughout the 46-year history of the Japanese American Service Committee. It began then, when nearly 20,000 Japanese Ameri cans found themselves in Chicago... a strange and unfamil iar "metropolis" for those who had been accustomed to the balmy climate of the West Coast. They came here after the infamous detention camps were dissolved following World War II. The first commitment was made then. Leaders of the Japanese American community decided to create a self help organization to insure that all Japanese Americans who planed to start a new life in Chicago would get some assistance. The JASC (under a different name) was born. It was that commitment that provided the new arrivals with some of the most pressing needs, such as housing, employment, adjustment to a new environment, naturalization assistance and other services. But, the first commitment was just the beginning. Through the years, the JASC has lived up to a series of commitments as it faced each changing need of the Japa nese American community in Chicago. Our emphasis in the past, and present, has been primarily in the field of aging. We served the Isseis with a sheltered workshop and constructed the Heiwa Terrace to provide housing to them and other Asian and non-Asian elderly. Our commitment led us to opening an Adult Day Care Center, and it continued to planning a nursing home for Asian elderly... a dream that begun 11 years ago. Today, the JASC Keiro Nursing Home is almost a reality. Another commitment fulfilled. As we approach a half-century mark in our history, we continue to be committed to those we intend to serve. Our focus is now shifting from the Isseis and Niseis to the Sansei and Yonsei (third and fourth generation of Japanese Americans.) We are planning programs so that they may find their lives more meaningful and more enriching. We have a vision of providing a Community Center with programs of ethnic identity and enrichment of heritage and culture. This Center would be built as a new JASC headquarters with meeting rooms and activity spaces on the grounds of the Keiro Nursing Home. It would also include assisted living facilities for those who need housing accommodations to continue independent living style, but are not ready to enter a nursing home. Another commitment we have is to establish an endowment fund to provide a long-term financial stability for our organization. Our commitment is to make all these things happen... and we invite you to join this vision and commitment as we strive toward our Golden Anniversary. Arthur T. Morimitsu President, JASC 2 Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 ll ■■il■llli THI KEmo NURSING HOME The dream became a commitment. And the commitment became a reality at the start of the 1991-92 fiscal year when in July of 1991 the foundations were laid for the JASC Keiro Nursing home on a 4.5 acre site at Foster and Springfield avenues in Chicago. By the end of this fiscal year, the exterior of the facility was completed. Interior work began and the first Asian American nursing home in the Midwest area is scheduled to open in the Spring of 1993... a testimonial to the indomitable fortitude of an organization, JASC, and the Japanese American community. Throughout the decade which preceded the start of the construction, challenges and road blocks were many. Dealing with city, state and federal agencies to obtain needed permits and secure financing, took years. While the commu nity responded favorably to the initial fund drive which raised $1.3 million, this money was spent for the site purchase and other expenses associated with obtaining the $6.8 million mortgage loan guaranteed by the federal government. A second fund drive was launched in October of 1991, to raise $970,000 which would cover start-up costs and the first 18 months of operation ... a period through which the home is expected to operate at a deficiency because of less than 100 percent occupation. At the close of this fiscal year the drive had raised $450,000, falling $ 520,000 short of the goal. The drive will continue until the goal is met. Concerning the JASC Keiro Nursing Home, the 1991-92 fiscal year has been a landmark. A dream that has been realized... a commitment fulfilled. KEIRO 4 NtJB,SlNG llll ■il■III THI IDGHLIGHTS OF 1991 - 1992 While without a question the progress of the construction of the JASC Keiro Nursing Home was the highlight of the year, there were other events which made the last year a memorable one in JASC history. The Fuji Festival, always a delight, was no exception this year. Honored was the law firm of Masuda. Funai, Eifert and Mitchell, Ltd., which has served the Japanese American Service Committee since its inception in 1946. The late Thomas S. Masuda served as JASC's second president from 1949 to 1951 and until his death in 1986 took personal and profes sional interest in JASC. Entertainment at the Fuji Fest was pro vided by Lane Nishikawa, a sansei who is critically acclaimed on the West Coast as a playwright and a performer. As usual there were plenty of raffle and door prizes. The annual Christmas Delight Sale added a new twist this year. There were special programs for children from the Tampopo Kai school which featured Japanese songs, games and other cultural presentations. Of course, those attending also enjoyed shopping for holiday ornaments, chinaware, gift items from around the world and a variety of handcrafted items and ceramics. The event raised nearly $2,000 for JASC. "The Taste of Oshogatsu", a celebration of the traditional Japanese New Year's food in a traditional setting also was a first for JASC. More than 40 persons attending sampled more than 10 kinds of traditional Osechi Ryori foods and heard the meaning of each food and how it was prepared. On February 19, 1992 more than 100 people packed the JASC headquarters to ob serve the "Day of Remembrance... "the 50th anniversary of sigp.ing Executive Order 9066 the infamous document which sent loyal Japa nese Americans to detention camps. It was a memorable, tear-filled occasion. The event was sponsored jointly by JASC and JACL. The annual Market Day was as usual a success. It raised $12,500 for JASC and set records in both attendance and income. There were many internal successes, such as a complete computerization of our office, retaining the Search Deveiopmental Center on our premises and increasing our list of Japa nese corporations which became members of JASC. There were also some setbacks, the most notable being the lack of foundation and corpo ration support to our agency. In review it can be concluded that FY 9192 was a very good year for us. Well, maybe not "very", but a good one anyhow. 6 7 ll■■il■III THI SERVICES WE OFFER OUR CLIENTS The JASC commitment has always been to provide programs to serve the changing needs of our client community. Toda y, while only a f ew Isseis remain, we are concentrating on services for our Nisei contingent, but while we are concerned with the needs of the Niseis, we also have to look at the future and anticipate the role the Sanseis will play in our organization. We also look forward to serving the Yonsei (fourth genera tion Japanese Americans) and assisting them in maintaining their cultural heritage. Our future endeavor will be planning programs for the Sanseis and Yonseis. In fiscal 1992 we served our community with the following programs: THE PARISH NURSE PROGRAM was started early in 1991 as a joint venture with the Swedish Covenant Hospital. It began after a survey indicated that health issues are of prime importance to the Japanese American community. Working with JASC and Buddhist and Christian Japanese American churches it provides health education, health screening and personal counseling on health issues. Last fiscal year the program provided health presentations to 475 persons; gave blood pressure tests to 112 people; answered more that 60 health issue telephone calls; made three home visits; 10 referrals to doctors, and wrote 16 health care articles for various audi ences. speaks Japanese and deals with questions involving financial and health issues as well as formulating plans for the elderly. HOME SUPPORT SERVICES involve cleaning shopping, laundry, food preparation, personal care, nutritional service and hygiene education to the elderly either at Heiwa Ter race, a senior citizen's residential center, or at other locations. During the past year, the chore house keepers provided a total of 20, 827 hours of service to 161 clients. Of them, 86 were Asians, six African Americans and 69 Caucasians. GROUP SERVICES is a program which provides educational classes such as Tai -Chi (oriental exercise), Minyo (folk music and dance), origami (paper folding), kamining yo (paper doll construction), ceramics and a Japa nese language class. A total of 1, 126 persons were served representing 17, 875 client hours. Programs on health and education are presented by this service as well as cit y -spon sored nutrition and "Meals on Wheels" services for home-bound elderly. The nutrition program served 6,080 meals to 216 persons (excluding Adult Day Care clients). A total of 4, 434 meals were delivered to the homes of 18 participants. D Our A ULT DAY CARE PROGRAM served on the average 19 clients per day, totaling 27, 733 hours of service. Adult Day Care aims to keep elderly out of institutions and offers activities in a group setting w ith help older adults to improve their physical and mental condition. Participants get a noon meal (4,902 served last year) and have the opportu nity to eat together with others. They partici pate in a number of activities and special i events, such as field trps, ceramics, exercise and hear speakers on various subjects. Social service and nursing staffs develop individual plans for each client and monitor their programs. CASEWORK AND COUNSELING services in the past year worked with 242 clients, of them 204 Japanese Americans. The total hours of service provided were 2,610. This is a pro gram which assists clients to achieve adequate psychological and social life.

The RAP (Relatives of Aging Persons) Group for Niseis and once-a month Tea and Conversation gatherings for homebound persons were new services offered during the past year. Transportation was provided for the homebound as needed. Currently, the JASC is planning to start a Day Care Center for the Elderly in the fall of 1979. This, along with the opening of Heiwa Terrace in 1980, will necessitate increased activity in casework, in-home services, and cultural programs. The Social Service Department receives part of its support from the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago and the Mayor's Office for Senior Citizens and Handicapped. ,, �f- Sheltered Work Center The JASC Senior Citizens' Work Center has been providing effective therapeutic service through its work program by helping clients to cope with their physical and often psychological problems related to aging. These problems are from social isolation, major role changes, loss of spouse and health, and depression. The sheltered workshop offers employment and compensation to supplement often meager incomes. There has been a definite effect of ego-strengthening for the program participants because of their ability to contribute to the welfare of the agency. In addition to the lssei and some Nisei retirees, the sheltered workshop also serves clients of other ethnic backgrounds, such as Koreans, Chinese, and Filipinos. It also serves clients referred by the Edgewater Uptown Community Mental Health Center and the Illinois Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Hand-in-Hand Since 1969 the JASC has sponsored a group with the purpose of increasing public awareness of the problems and potentials of exceptional children and of providing support for their parents. The children receive weekly speech therapy on Saturday mornings at the JASC. A volunteer speech therapist provides help to supple ment the regular educational programs of these children. The parents meet on the second Friday evening of each month, 7 to 9 P.M., at the JASC, to participate in a support group and to gain information and insight from guest speakers. An annual picnic and Christmas dinner program bring the parents, children, and their friends together. 7 Japanese welfare delegates visit Sheltered Work Center 8 Blood Assurance Program All JASC members and their immediate families-approximately 6,000 persons during the past year-are covered by the agency's Blood Assurance Plan. Our goal for this year is 240 pints. The first blood drive brought in 129 donors on June 18. The second drive is scheduled for November 12. We encourage members and nonmembers to donate blood for this worthy cause. The JASC Blood Assurance Program has to date 33 gallon givers, with 19 more expected to reach a gallon of blood donation in the near future. Heiwa Terrace ... Up,Up,Up Since ground was broken at official ceremonies on July 8 at the outset of JASC's 1978-79 administrative year, construction on the exterior of Heiwa Terrace has proceeded steadily up ward, as passersby at Lawrence and Sheridan will attest. In 1979-80 work will be continued on the interior, with completion and occupancy sched uled for the spring. Persons interested in becoming residents in the 12-story, 200-unit housing for senior citizens should contact the JASC. 9 Japanese American Service Committee Statement of Revenue and Expenses for the year ended June 30, 1979 Revenue: Philanthropic Support Government Support $ 81,500 211,536 Sheltered Workshop 326,166 Others 85,707 Total Revenue $704,909 Expenses: Program Services Supporting Services $611,229 126,207 Total Expenses $737,436 Deficiency ($ 32,527) T he 1979 fiscal year shows a deficit of $32,527.

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

American Service Committee Annual Report 2000-2001 The Japanese American Service Committee has a lineage that leads directly to a situation of great adversity: the US government's evacuation and internment of persons of Japanese ancestry during World War II. 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..

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.

American Service Committee 1999-2000 Annual Report YOU ARE OUR STRENGTH ... 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.

During the 2004-2005 fiscal year, an average of 21 clients each month were provided with a total 5,249 hours of personal care, housekeeping, shopping, escort and related services.

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. In addition, they often advocate for clients when language or cultural barriers would otherwise keep them from receiving proper care.

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.

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. In addition, they often advocate for clients when language or cultural barriers would otherwise keep them from receiving proper care.

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.

Holiday Delight and Kodomo Matsuri (Children's Festivahl) continued to be well -supported.

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.

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

At our celebration of the Japanese American Service Committee's 41st annual meeting in June we recognized a number of volunteers including Doris Fujii, our "Volunteer of the Year;' who was cited for her many hours of service in behalf of our agency. We also recognized several other individuals who served as presidents of our agency many years ago, and are now serving as officers for our nursing home campaign. Former JASC presidents, such as the late Thomas Masuda, served our agency for many years; and others such as Noboru Honda, Richard Yamada, and Thomas Teraji, also served over a long period and are now leading in our goal to build the first Asian American nursing home in the midwest. In his report at our annual meeting Nursing Home Committee Chairman Richard Yamada summarized our efforts to raise the unprecedented sum of one million dollars, which is absolutely necessary to provide the start up capital until the nursing home can become self-sufficient after the initial period of operation. With the help of strong financial commitments from members of our JASC board and the nursing home com mittee, and generous donors from our community, our volunteer fund drive coordinator, Mike Fujimoto, has noted 2 that the current total donations and pledges have now exceeded the $758,000 mark. It is gratifying to note that many donors are not well to-do but are concerned community people who are willing to sacrifice for a worthy cause. In order to encourage maximum financial support to reach our goal co-chairs Beverly Sakauye and Betty Nakanishi, and their brochure committee, have developed a plan which hopefully will encourage donations for memorial tributes in honor of parents, family members, or friends; these donations to be made over a one- to three-year period, if necessary. Our agency has long been recognized as the leading Asian American social welfare agency, not only in the Chicago area but nationwide. The tremendous support for our nursing home campaign has shown recognition of the JASC leadership in providing care for our community people over the past 41 years. The JASC leaders initially organized programs 41 years ago to assist internees who had relocated to the midwest. Through the years our programs stressed care and support of the elderly and now include not only special projects for elderly Nisei, but for Sansei and Yonsei. The spirit of volunteerism is burning bright. On behalf of the JASC board of directors we sincerely thank all the individuals and organizations of our community for their continuous support. Please join with us in our nursing home campaign. �-7,�n� -Arthur T. Morimitsu 1986-87 President Board of Directors Executive Director's Report Throughout the more than four decades of JASC's history, we have witnessed significant changes in the dy namic working of the Japanese American community. What was predominantly an Issei community 41 years ago has steadily shifted to Nisei leadership. In the meantime, Sanseis have been enjoying privileges and opportunities their parents and grandparents were not allowed to enjoy. Society appears to have become more tolerant and open to ethnic minority groups. Yet, because of the diverse nature of society, and the multi-ethnic makeup of our city, we have always been_convinced, as are other ethnic com munities, that the needs of the Japanese community can be best understood and dealt with most effectively by a Japanese agency. At the inception of the Japanese American Service Committee (Chicago Resettlers Committee), the original organizers probably were not aware how the felt needs of the Japanese community might change from decade to decade. However, the board of directors of the JASC has always been sensitive to the changing needs of the com munity and has always turned its listening ear to what the community has to say. In 1960, the JASC Board made an important decision to serve the needs of the elderly in the Japanese community; this resulted in the planning of whole subsequent services and projects for the elderly. Out of a consensus of the community the JASC launched out on projects no other Japanese social service agencies ever started, such as the Sheltered Workshop, Homemakers Service, and Adult Day Care. As a result, the agency has gained a wide and highly respected reputation among the social service agencies in the field of gerontology. Through the course of time, the JASC has lived and moved with Isseis, responding to their changing needs by providing new and additional programs as they become advanced in age, more frail, and vulnerable. Now, the JASC is facing a greater challenge and a very important period in its history. The era of the Isseis is slowly, but definitely, disappearing; the once strong and youthful Nisei are entering retirement age, and Sanseis are entering the competitive society with zest and ambition. The demographic change in the Japanese community means that the JASC has to shift gears according to changing trends, and planning the building of a nursing home is a bold and important response to this change. The survey for such a nursing home overwhelmingly indicated the need for such a facility, and the subsequent response to the fund-raising appeal has attested to the strong community support for it. The JASC will be making additional changes, necessary to keep it strong and effective in meeting the needs of its constituents. May I express our sincere appreciation for the strong and continuing support the JASC has been privileged to receive from you in the past. We have worked together to improve the life of the people and the community. Although the impact we have made may be small against mounting needs, we know the good we have brought will never be lost. -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 Development/Public Relations This past fiscal year the JASC continued to enlarge its circle of supporting friends among foundations and cor porations by making them aware of our agency and its good work through direct contact; and arranging for site visits of our agency's facilities, newspaper stories, and radio and television interviews and spot announcements. As a result, three new "outside" sources of funding, who found us deserving of their support, are the GATX Corporation, Illinois Bell Telephone Company, and the W. P. & H. B. White Foundation. In FY 1987 Development efforts brought $34,000 to the JASC from 11 corporations; and corporate, public, and family foundations. Of this, $6,000 was for general oper ating support; while $28,000 was designated for specific 4 purposes such as support of the Energy Conservation and Building Renovation project, and the program of Preventive Health Screening for Asian Elderly. In addition, friends of the JASC responded with a record high $11,835 to the year-end Holiday Appeal, and with a record high $14,315 in response to the "Contributors Fund" solicitation envelope that was enclosed with each newsletter. The Department also assisted in developing promotional materials for the membership campaign, which helped bring in a sizable number of never-before members, and inspired a sizable number of old members to rejoin the JASC; and assisted in publicizing the Nursing Home fund raising campaign and its progress. Social Services To meet the many needs of its clients, the JASC social service department provides a variety of programs and services. The staff of 26-which includes social workers, chore housekeepers, program coordinators, group work ers, day care helpers, teachers, nurses, drivers, an employ ment counselor, and aides-is assisted by more than 80 volunteers. Funding for the department comes from a variety of sources: United Way of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, Illinois Arts Council, Chicago Office of Fine Arts, Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department On Aging, and foundations. Casework/Counseling. The program is staffed by expe rienced professional clinicians in the areas of assessment, counseling and psychotherapy. It is designed primarily to assist individuals who are experiencing difficulty coping with the demands of everyday living to achieve adequate or healthy psychological and social adjustment. The pro gram, however, also includes services dealing with financial and health management, nutrition guidance, advocacy, emergencies, and immigration and naturalization. Assis tance is rendered through brief consultations or individual, family, or group counseling/psychotherapy. During the past year a total of 333 (306 Japanese and other Asian, 25 White, 2 Black) clients used the service. Chore Housekeeping. Many kinds of services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, grooming, personal care, nutrition guidance, and hygiene education-are offered in the home to assist older persons in the activities of daily living so that they may live in an independent manner. Volunteers are recruited to assist in escort service, and activities such as window washing and moving furniture. During the past year chore housekeepers served 96 individuals, which included 40 Isseis, 37 Niseis, and 19 others; 76 of these households were at Heiwa Terrace. Public agencies and individuals have recognized this service. Group Services. This department provides educational classes, Japanese cultural events, health maintenance pro grams, programs for Nisei, and a nutrition program for seniors. As are many others at the JASC, these are made possible with the help of volunteers. Educational classes are offered in ceramics, mature driving, tai chi, minyo, penji, origami, kaminingyo, and Japanese ornament making. Particularly popular are the classes that allow students to discover or re-discover the Japanese cultural arts, which it is hoped will help be preserved for future generations. Special Japanese festivals are observed and presented as authentically as possible; they have special meaning for the Issei clients, and offer a glimpse into the Japanese culture for those not familiar with it. Programs conducted to meet the needs of Nisei include those that deal with retirement, health, and education (such as a lecture on the history of Chicago). Health screening and blood pressure check-ups are popular because health issues are a major concern. The nutrition program served 12,690 meals at the JASC and the Meals-On-Wheels program delivered 3,101 meals to home-bound elderly. Attendance at the various pro grams totaled 23,272. Looking ahead, as more volunteers come forward to share their time, energy, and skills, more programs can be added to better serve the community. 5 Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care program pro motes the physical and mental well-being of older adults through a full range of coordinated services in a super vised group setting. Care is given to maintain a balance of opportunities for socialization, activities, and rest. Clients enjoy a wide range of activities and special events, includ ing field trips, ceramics, exercise, games, speakers, and outings for lunch. The balanced noon meal and snack breaks provide needed nutrition and the social opportu nity to share food together. The social service and nursing staffs develop a joint care plan for each client and monitor clients on an ongoing basis. A special emphasis continues to be placed on serving Isseis in need of more opportunities to socialize, or whose physical functioning is beginning to decline. The JASC staff works with clients and their families to understand how Adult Day Care and other programs together can enrich the client's daily life and provide relief and support for care givers. Some of the Isseis come each week to our special Tuesday program. They have a regular day, and time to meet with their peers, speak Japanese together, enjoy spe cial food and crafts, and have access to a wide range of special services. Working together with the client, family, and staff makes it possible for the older adults to remain in their homes at the highest functional level. The program served 89 clients; 5,600 units or days of service were provided, 4,885 of them to economically disadvantaged. Average attendance was 22 clients per day. Job Placement. In 1984 the JASC initiated a Job Placement Service for Asian Older Workers (55 years or older) in contract with the City of Chicago Department On Aging and Disability, funded by the Job Training Part nership Act. Based on the needs of the community the service was extended to the population that is 54 years or under. Last year-affected by the failing health of the Job Placement Counselor and his premature retirement-the program staff screened 148 applicants to determine their employability, and placed a total of 49 persons in various positions. For the coming year the staff, headed by a new Job Placement Specialist, anticipates serving and placing a larger segment of the unemployed population. 6 Workshop The Sheltered Workshop is far from what it was when first opened in 1962. This past year-in the 25th anniversary year since it opened-varied subcontract work assignments from busi ness and industry, requiring different skills and abilities, gave the workers in the Sheltered Workshop a greater opportunity to utilize their "hidden talents" and become "top producers" so they could develop new skills and earn more money. As a program of a social/human service agency, the Workshop has been providing a therapeutic, rehabilitative work-centered environment for senior citizens and emo tionally disabled of all ages and races, and both sexes, who handle various sub-contract assignments under the guidance of a professional staff. As the only one of its kind in the Midwest, it is where Japanese and other seniors work together with former mental patients on job assignments. The types of subcontract jobs keeping Workshop clients busy and adding to their interest, motivation, and learning experience, were: assembling and gluing, packaging of candies and novelties for a large candy distributor, sorting and folding, inspecting and rework, gluing of hair samples; and making and packaging such items as games, scouring pads, salesmen's sample boards, displays, and greeting cards. Almost all types of work not requiring machine handling can be done by Workshop employees. When it first opened as "the only one of its kind serving the Japanese American community in the United States" it had a hard time attracting the Isseis for whom it was created; they suspected this was going to be a means of providing them with a public payroll handout, which is contrary to the philosophy of the Japanese culture. But, once it caught on, as a meaningful program fulfilling the Japanese work ethic the JASC could not keep them away, even during heavy snowstorms, and at its height the Workshop provided "past retirement age" employment for as many as 150 Isseis, five days a week. However, the employment makeup of the Workshop began to change as seniors passed away; or old age or health condition forced them to retire, go into a nursing home, or be accepted in the JASC Adult Day Care pro- gram. As Nisei were not yet ready to come into the Work shop program, other Asians, non-Asians, and emotionally disabled were gradually accepted. Subsequently, economic conditions also created a drop-off in available work. This past year the Workshop provided work for a monthly average of 81 men and women who worked an average of 21 days per month, 5 hours per day, including paid vacation and holidays. The seniors comprised 62% of the workers: of these 49% were Japanese, 35% Koreans, 16% Filipinos, and 1% Chinese. The remaining 38% were emotionally disabled (former mental patients) partici pating in the rehabilitation program of the Workshop. 7 In Appreciation The Japanese American Service Committee gratefully acknowledges contributions received during the Fiscal Year July 1, 1986 through June 30, 1987. The generosity and support of such gifts is appreciated by all who are served by this agency, and donors are listed in periodic JASC publications. 1986 Members of the JASC The following persons and companies are contributing members.

At our celebration of the Japanese American Service Committee's 41st annual meeting in June we recognized a number of volunteers including Doris Fujii, our "Volunteer of the Year;' who was cited for her many hours of service in behalf of our agency. We also recognized several other individuals who served as presidents of our agency many years ago, and are now serving as officers for our nursing home campaign. Former JASC presidents, such as the late Thomas Masuda, served our agency for many years; and others such as Noboru Honda, Richard Yamada, and Thomas Teraji, also served over a long period and are now leading in our goal to build the first Asian American nursing home in the midwest. In his report at our annual meeting Nursing Home Committee Chairman Richard Yamada summarized our efforts to raise the unprecedented sum of one million dollars, which is absolutely necessary to provide the start up capital until the nursing home can become self-sufficient after the initial period of operation. With the help of strong financial commitments from members of our JASC board and the nursing home com mittee, and generous donors from our community, our volunteer fund drive coordinator, Mike Fujimoto, has noted 2 that the current total donations and pledges have now exceeded the $758,000 mark. It is gratifying to note that many donors are not well to-do but are concerned community people who are willing to sacrifice for a worthy cause. In order to encourage maximum financial support to reach our goal co-chairs Beverly Sakauye and Betty Nakanishi, and their brochure committee, have developed a plan which hopefully will encourage donations for memorial tributes in honor of parents, family members, or friends; these donations to be made over a one- to three-year period, if necessary. Our agency has long been recognized as the leading Asian American social welfare agency, not only in the Chicago area but nationwide. The tremendous support for our nursing home campaign has shown recognition of the JASC leadership in providing care for our community people over the past 41 years. The JASC leaders initially organized programs 41 years ago to assist internees who had relocated to the midwest. Through the years our programs stressed care and support of the elderly and now include not only special projects for elderly Nisei, but for Sansei and Yonsei. The spirit of volunteerism is burning bright. On behalf of the JASC board of directors we sincerely thank all the individuals and organizations of our community for their continuous support. Please join with us in our nursing home campaign. �-7,�n� -Arthur T. Morimitsu 1986-87 President Board of Directors Executive Director's Report Throughout the more than four decades of JASC's history, we have witnessed significant changes in the dy namic working of the Japanese American community. What was predominantly an Issei community 41 years ago has steadily shifted to Nisei leadership. In the meantime, Sanseis have been enjoying privileges and opportunities their parents and grandparents were not allowed to enjoy. Society appears to have become more tolerant and open to ethnic minority groups. Yet, because of the diverse nature of society, and the multi-ethnic makeup of our city, we have always been_convinced, as are other ethnic com munities, that the needs of the Japanese community can be best understood and dealt with most effectively by a Japanese agency. At the inception of the Japanese American Service Committee (Chicago Resettlers Committee), the original organizers probably were not aware how the felt needs of the Japanese community might change from decade to decade. However, the board of directors of the JASC has always been sensitive to the changing needs of the com munity and has always turned its listening ear to what the community has to say. In 1960, the JASC Board made an important decision to serve the needs of the elderly in the Japanese community; this resulted in the planning of whole subsequent services and projects for the elderly. Out of a consensus of the community the JASC launched out on projects no other Japanese social service agencies ever started, such as the Sheltered Workshop, Homemakers Service, and Adult Day Care. As a result, the agency has gained a wide and highly respected reputation among the social service agencies in the field of gerontology. Through the course of time, the JASC has lived and moved with Isseis, responding to their changing needs by providing new and additional programs as they become advanced in age, more frail, and vulnerable. Now, the JASC is facing a greater challenge and a very important period in its history. The era of the Isseis is slowly, but definitely, disappearing; the once strong and youthful Nisei are entering retirement age, and Sanseis are entering the competitive society with zest and ambition. The demographic change in the Japanese community means that the JASC has to shift gears according to changing trends, and planning the building of a nursing home is a bold and important response to this change. The survey for such a nursing home overwhelmingly indicated the need for such a facility, and the subsequent response to the fund-raising appeal has attested to the strong community support for it. The JASC will be making additional changes, necessary to keep it strong and effective in meeting the needs of its constituents. May I express our sincere appreciation for the strong and continuing support the JASC has been privileged to receive from you in the past. We have worked together to improve the life of the people and the community. Although the impact we have made may be small against mounting needs, we know the good we have brought will never be lost. -Masaru Nambu Executive Director 3 Development/Public Relations This past fiscal year the JASC continued to enlarge its circle of supporting friends among foundations and cor porations by making them aware of our agency and its good work through direct contact; and arranging for site visits of our agency's facilities, newspaper stories, and radio and television interviews and spot announcements. As a result, three new "outside" sources of funding, who found us deserving of their support, are the GATX Corporation, Illinois Bell Telephone Company, and the W. P. & H. B. White Foundation. In FY 1987 Development efforts brought $34,000 to the JASC from 11 corporations; and corporate, public, and family foundations. Of this, $6,000 was for general oper ating support; while $28,000 was designated for specific 4 purposes such as support of the Energy Conservation and Building Renovation project, and the program of Preventive Health Screening for Asian Elderly. In addition, friends of the JASC responded with a record high $11,835 to the year-end Holiday Appeal, and with a record high $14,315 in response to the "Contributors Fund" solicitation envelope that was enclosed with each newsletter. The Department also assisted in developing promotional materials for the membership campaign, which helped bring in a sizable number of never-before members, and inspired a sizable number of old members to rejoin the JASC; and assisted in publicizing the Nursing Home fund raising campaign and its progress. Social Services To meet the many needs of its clients, the JASC social service department provides a variety of programs and services. The staff of 26-which includes social workers, chore housekeepers, program coordinators, group work ers, day care helpers, teachers, nurses, drivers, an employ ment counselor, and aides-is assisted by more than 80 volunteers. Funding for the department comes from a variety of sources: United Way of Chicago, Department On Aging and Disability, Illinois Arts Council, Chicago Office of Fine Arts, Community Care Programs of the Illinois Department On Aging, and foundations. Casework/Counseling. The program is staffed by expe rienced professional clinicians in the areas of assessment, counseling and psychotherapy. It is designed primarily to assist individuals who are experiencing difficulty coping with the demands of everyday living to achieve adequate or healthy psychological and social adjustment. The pro gram, however, also includes services dealing with financial and health management, nutrition guidance, advocacy, emergencies, and immigration and naturalization. Assis tance is rendered through brief consultations or individual, family, or group counseling/psychotherapy. During the past year a total of 333 (306 Japanese and other Asian, 25 White, 2 Black) clients used the service. Chore Housekeeping. Many kinds of services-cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation, grooming, personal care, nutrition guidance, and hygiene education-are offered in the home to assist older persons in the activities of daily living so that they may live in an independent manner. Volunteers are recruited to assist in escort service, and activities such as window washing and moving furniture. During the past year chore housekeepers served 96 individuals, which included 40 Isseis, 37 Niseis, and 19 others; 76 of these households were at Heiwa Terrace. Public agencies and individuals have recognized this service. Group Services. This department provides educational classes, Japanese cultural events, health maintenance pro grams, programs for Nisei, and a nutrition program for seniors. As are many others at the JASC, these are made possible with the help of volunteers. Educational classes are offered in ceramics, mature driving, tai chi, minyo, penji, origami, kaminingyo, and Japanese ornament making. Particularly popular are the classes that allow students to discover or re-discover the Japanese cultural arts, which it is hoped will help be preserved for future generations. Special Japanese festivals are observed and presented as authentically as possible; they have special meaning for the Issei clients, and offer a glimpse into the Japanese culture for those not familiar with it. Programs conducted to meet the needs of Nisei include those that deal with retirement, health, and education (such as a lecture on the history of Chicago). Health screening and blood pressure check-ups are popular because health issues are a major concern. The nutrition program served 12,690 meals at the JASC and the Meals-On-Wheels program delivered 3,101 meals to home-bound elderly. Attendance at the various pro grams totaled 23,272. Looking ahead, as more volunteers come forward to share their time, energy, and skills, more programs can be added to better serve the community. 5 Adult Day Care. The Adult Day Care program pro motes the physical and mental well-being of older adults through a full range of coordinated services in a super vised group setting. Care is given to maintain a balance of opportunities for socialization, activities, and rest. Clients enjoy a wide range of activities and special events, includ ing field trips, ceramics, exercise, games, speakers, and outings for lunch. The balanced noon meal and snack breaks provide needed nutrition and the social opportu nity to share food together. The social service and nursing staffs develop a joint care plan for each client and monitor clients on an ongoing basis. A special emphasis continues to be placed on serving Isseis in need of more opportunities to socialize, or whose physical functioning is beginning to decline. The JASC staff works with clients and their families to understand how Adult Day Care and other programs together can enrich the client's daily life and provide relief and support for care givers. Some of the Isseis come each week to our special Tuesday program. They have a regular day, and time to meet with their peers, speak Japanese together, enjoy spe cial food and crafts, and have access to a wide range of special services. Working together with the client, family, and staff makes it possible for the older adults to remain in their homes at the highest functional level. The program served 89 clients; 5,600 units or days of service were provided, 4,885 of them to economically disadvantaged. Average attendance was 22 clients per day. Job Placement. In 1984 the JASC initiated a Job Placement Service for Asian Older Workers (55 years or older) in contract with the City of Chicago Department On Aging and Disability, funded by the Job Training Part nership Act. Based on the needs of the community the service was extended to the population that is 54 years or under. Last year-affected by the failing health of the Job Placement Counselor and his premature retirement-the program staff screened 148 applicants to determine their employability, and placed a total of 49 persons in various positions. For the coming year the staff, headed by a new Job Placement Specialist, anticipates serving and placing a larger segment of the unemployed population. 6 Workshop The Sheltered Workshop is far from what it was when first opened in 1962. This past year-in the 25th anniversary year since it opened-varied subcontract work assignments from busi ness and industry, requiring different skills and abilities, gave the workers in the Sheltered Workshop a greater opportunity to utilize their "hidden talents" and become "top producers" so they could develop new skills and earn more money. As a program of a social/human service agency, the Workshop has been providing a therapeutic, rehabilitative work-centered environment for senior citizens and emo tionally disabled of all ages and races, and both sexes, who handle various sub-contract assignments under the guidance of a professional staff. As the only one of its kind in the Midwest, it is where Japanese and other seniors work together with former mental patients on job assignments. The types of subcontract jobs keeping Workshop clients busy and adding to their interest, motivation, and learning experience, were: assembling and gluing, packaging of candies and novelties for a large candy distributor, sorting and folding, inspecting and rework, gluing of hair samples; and making and packaging such items as games, scouring pads, salesmen's sample boards, displays, and greeting cards. Almost all types of work not requiring machine handling can be done by Workshop employees. When it first opened as "the only one of its kind serving the Japanese American community in the United States" it had a hard time attracting the Isseis for whom it was created; they suspected this was going to be a means of providing them with a public payroll handout, which is contrary to the philosophy of the Japanese culture. But, once it caught on, as a meaningful program fulfilling the Japanese work ethic the JASC could not keep them away, even during heavy snowstorms, and at its height the Workshop provided "past retirement age" employment for as many as 150 Isseis, five days a week. However, the employment makeup of the Workshop began to change as seniors passed away; or old age or health condition forced them to retire, go into a nursing home, or be accepted in the JASC Adult Day Care pro- gram. As Nisei were not yet ready to come into the Work shop program, other Asians, non-Asians, and emotionally disabled were gradually accepted. Subsequently, economic conditions also created a drop-off in available work. This past year the Workshop provided work for a monthly average of 81 men and women who worked an average of 21 days per month, 5 hours per day, including paid vacation and holidays. The seniors comprised 62% of the workers: of these 49% were Japanese, 35% Koreans, 16% Filipinos, and 1% Chinese. The remaining 38% were emotionally disabled (former mental patients) partici pating in the rehabilitation program of the Workshop. 7 In Appreciation The Japanese American Service Committee gratefully acknowledges contributions received during the Fiscal Year July 1, 1986 through June 30, 1987.

Adult Day Services (ADS) Our ADS program provides seniors professional medical care in a socially active environment where they can exercise and sustain their physical and cognitive well-being. These services also benefit family caregivers with much needed respite which decreases stress-related illnesses, work absenteeism, loss of employment, and family instability and dysfunction. Social Work Services Our Social Work program offers linguistically and culturally competent licensed social workers who assist people from all over the Midwest. Individual, family and group counseling provides emotional and psychological support and focuses on strengthening coping skills to deal with issues such as anxiety and depression, language and cultural difficulties, health challenges and preparation for death and dying. Home Support Services Home Support Services (HSS) assists seniors and adults wanting to stay in their homes with household tasks such as cleaning, planning and preparing meals, grocery shopping, transportation to doctor appointments, and picking up prescriptions. HSS also supports young professionals who are too busy in their careers by managing tasks such as housekeeping, laundry and grocery service. Out-of-the-House Out-of-the-House (00TH) addresses the needs of seniors who have lost their social network of friends because of illness, frailty or death and use this group as their network of connection to peers. 00TH offers exercise, socialization and activities which are directed toward keeping the seniors active physically, mentally, and emotionally. Arts and Culture Programs JASC is committed to building, preserving, and promoting Japanese and Japanese American culture and heritage through: the Legacy Center archive which preserves Japanese American history, cultural classes which enrich and educate the general public, and an artist-in-residence program which fosters growth of Japanese and Japanese American artistic tradition. Legacy Center The JASC Legacy Center is the largest publicly accessible archive and repository on Chicago Japanese American history, with particular emphasis on the period following World War II, when Japanese Americans were released from wartime internment camps. Its focus is to preserve and showcase these valuable archives while educating the public through local and traveling exhibitions and workshops. I Cultural Classes JASC is committed to building quality cultural programming, classes and events that not only preserve the culture, history and legacy of Japanese Americans, but also keeps them living, developing and relevant in our contemporary culture. JASC has done this, in part, by fostering, partnering and collaborating with masters and experts in Japanese culture. JASC offers these masters support through its artists-in-residence program, which encourages artists to continue to expand their mastery, provides them with a means to showcase it to the greater community, and creates environments where their skills and knowledge can be passed on to others, of all ages, ethnicities and economic backgrounds. Tampopo Kai Tampopo Kai provides Japanese language and cultural education for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and their parents by laying a strong foundation for Japanese language at an early age and nurturing the beginnings of a positive ethnic and cultural identity through cultural activities that are responsive to the l developmental needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
