Nakayoshi volunteering event at the Nihonmachi Street Fair!
For those of you who wanted to see more opportunities to volunteer at community events, here’s Nakayoshi’s first volunteer event! Thanks to Lenna Onishi at the Japanese Community Youth Council (JCYC), we’ve been asked to help out in the children’s area during the Nihonmachi Street Fair in Japantown the weekend of August 9th and 10th.

the day after
And finally I’m home. Convention was interesting. I’ll give it that. Something new. As always, I have criticisms, perhaps because I am always in search of something more. But. Let’s not focus on these things, but instead focus on what we accomplished. For several years, we’ve been saying that the JACL needs a facelift, something […]
day 5
Aaaaand I skipped over day 4. Â Apprently I’m really bad at remembering to blog. The past couple days have been full of interesting discussion and neverending meetings (jk). Â Yesterday was the first day of business session, where, as you can guess, we conduct our seriouz bizness. Â Between sessions, we had a youth luncheon, and […]
day three: lessons
I kind of skipped over day two. Sorry about that. Today was the first official day of convention. Though…being 2 in the morning, I suppose I should say that yesterday was the first day of convention. A lot of convention seems to be about listening to other people, a skill which I, admittedly, do not […]

Also, in case you don’t have a Facebook account but would like to check out some BBQ pictures, we’ve set […]
day one – jacl convention: awaiting the light
unlike most californians who ride away from the sun to get to the Great Salt Lake, my experience is different. yes, i am a member of nakayoshi, but more in spirit than in the physical sense. as a, now, local dc resident, the 5-hour plane ride left me feeling disoriented and yet excited in knowing […]
We’re off to see the wizard
Your lovely NCWNP youth reps (aka Megumi and me) are off to Salt Lake City tomorrow for the JACL National Convention. We will be meeting with the Wizard…I mean some important JACL folks. There’s some great workshops this year, along with the important business of electing Megumi to the position of National Youth Chair. Look […]

Again, thank you to those who joined us in Golden Gate Park for our inaugural event. On Sunday, July 13th, Nakayoshi will be having its next meeting, and we hope you’ll join us. We’ll be discussing possible events for the future, and we’d love to hear what you have to say.
