OUR MISSION<br />
To enrich and support the lives<br />
of elders and meet their needs in<br />
a way that honors and respects<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> culture and values.<br />
2 o TAYORI Summer 2013<br />
Dear Friends and Fellow Community Members,<br />
The <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> Way and the core values it embraces (respect, trust, kimochi, quality of life, and family) have<br />
strengthened connections with <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> and the community. I am very proud to be a board member and am grateful<br />
to the community for its strength and support.<br />
Respect and Quality of Life – We recently surveyed the community about what matters when it comes to senior care,<br />
either for you or your loved ones. Thanks to all who participated, to the key individuals who broadened our reach, and thank<br />
you Jeffrey, for your leadership.<br />
Kimochi – Arigato gozaimasu to all of the Volunteers and also to the Fukui and Gokami families for being there when<br />
we need a little extra help. (Thanks also to my wife for letting me attend all of the meetings, dinners, and other events<br />
throughout the year!)<br />
Trust – A special thank you to the late Henry Taniguchi for his very generous donation.<br />
Family – Celebrate life and family at our upcoming events. Don’t miss the South China Dinner (7/8), and the 12th Annual<br />
Founders’ Golf Benefit (8/23).<br />
Respect, trust, kimochi, quality of life, and family. These values bring <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> close to my heart, and the<br />
joint efforts of the community, volunteers, board, and staff “make every day the best day for residents, participants, staff, and<br />
community.” That just says it all.<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ted Tomita<br />
Board President<br />
“Family caring for family” inspired us as we developed the <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> (NC) Way. “Making every day the best day for<br />
residents, participants, staff, and community” became our rallying call, and family remains one of our core values… for this is<br />
what NC is all about.<br />
A “Family Affair” abounds on a daily basis throughout NC. Children and grandchildren visit their loved ones and dance and<br />
enjoy somen at Seattle Keiro’s Summer Festival. Several generations bake and nibble on Japanese sweets together at a <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />
Horizons class in Bellevue. They relax and swap stories in the beautiful <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor garden. Families expand to embrace Kokoro<br />
Kai participants sharing a moment of fun as a group on an outing. Faithful volunteers set examples for the younger generation,<br />
creating a legacy of service and philanthropy. Staff members become “extended” family for those we serve and with whom we<br />
work… sharing smiles, laughter, and sometimes, tears.<br />
As you peruse through this vibrant <strong>Tayori</strong> issue, you will no doubt take away that “Life Happens at <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>!” and we work<br />
diligently to serve our evolving community in the midst of health care reform… At the heart of it all is “family caring for family.”<br />
I vividly recall asking J. Ellis Haw to “unretire” to serve as interim CFO for a few months. Three years later(!), J. Ellis is truly<br />
retiring to spend time with his wonderful family. A Navy man, he helped ensure the good ship NC sails full steam ahead. On behalf<br />
of your NC “crew,” thank you for all that you have done, and we wish you and yours all the best.<br />

Loving Kokoro Kai<br />
Masako Machida found kimochi,<br />
a second family, and an enhanced<br />
quality of life when she joined<br />
Kokoro Kai. Although she has<br />
family support with her daughter<br />
and son-in-law, Michiru and Russell<br />
Johnson, Masako was lonely<br />
when she first moved from Japan.<br />
Michiru Johnson, Masako Machida, and Muffy all love Kokoro Kai.<br />
She spoke little English and had<br />
no special hobbies or close friends. When the Johnsons discovered Kokoro Kai, they were<br />
thrilled. Kokoro Kai gave Masako a welcoming place where she could speak Japanese,<br />
socialize, and stay active.<br />
Every Monday and Friday, Masako spends time with her new friends in Kokoro Kai. They<br />
focus on the things that she can do, which gives her confidence. Her favorite activity, if she<br />
can pick only one, is singing. Masako-san loves the food, and she is touched by the kindness<br />
of the volunteers and staff. She doesn’t regret moving from Japan because she has a new<br />
home here and a place to belong. When she thinks about life in Seattle, she has happy<br />
thoughts of Kokoro Kai and the people who help make her time there special.<br />
She encourages more Japanese to join Kokoro Kai or move into <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor, <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />
<strong>Concerns</strong>’ assisted living community, where Kokoro Kai takes place. Many <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor<br />
residents also participate in Kokoro Kai, and more friends are always welcome.<br />

Ayame Kai Guild makes wishes come true<br />
Lillian Hayashi, Chair, Wish List Recommendation Committee<br />
For over 30 years, the Ayame Kai Guild has sponsored numerous events<br />
and generously supported the residents and participants of <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>.<br />
Our annual events – currently, the Steak Dinner and the Holiday Craft<br />
Fair – have raised over $1M and continue to strengthen community ties.<br />
The proceeds finance the annual Wish List, comprised of items that are not<br />
afforded by <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>’ annual operating budget.<br />
Each year, when <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> submits the annual Wish List, the Wish List<br />
Recommendation Committee carefully reviews each item for compliance with<br />
the Guidelines. Items must directly enhance the quality of life for the residents<br />
and/or participants in any of the four <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> programs.<br />
In 2012, the Committee recommended all 25 Wish List items (totaling<br />
$57,308), which the Guild members unanimously approved in its entirety.<br />
This year’s list included 35 items (totaling $58,840) which the Committee also<br />
recommended and the Membership approved.<br />
We honor the partnership with the community that we have built together – the<br />
residents, participants, and their families; thoughtful donors who contribute to<br />
our bake sales, drawings, and silent auctions; and the attendees and volunteers<br />
who join us for fun and a great cause. Your gifts enable us to maintain the high<br />
standards of our events each year and raise even more funds to enhance the<br />
lives of the residents and participants!<br />
Together, we are truly “making every day the best day!”<br />

Welcome to the NC Board!<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> is privileged to welcome three new members to our Board of Directors. Hideo Suganuma, Bill<br />
Tashima, and Pastor Joe Yoshihara joined in January, and we are fortunate to benefit from their experience,<br />
knowledge, and in-depth perspectives. These leaders embrace the NC Values of respect, trust, kimochi, quality of life,<br />
and family and are dedicated to the residents and participants we serve.<br />
Hideo Suganuma<br />
Hideo identifies with<br />
all of the NC values,<br />
which align with<br />
his own. “I want to<br />
be more involved<br />
with the <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />
Community. I have lived in the Seattle<br />
area for about 30 years, and though<br />
I have some ties with many <strong>Nikkei</strong>,<br />
I wish to widen my involvement with<br />
the community.” With confidence<br />
in NC’s CEO Jeffrey Hattori’s<br />
leadership, Hideo plans to help in<br />
any way possible.<br />
Hideo is the co-founder and<br />
Managing Broker at Kohtoku<br />
Enterprise Inc., a thriving real estate<br />
company in Bellevue, Washington.<br />
Farewell to Ellis<br />
Bill Tashima<br />
Bill returns to the Board<br />
after serving on our<br />
Community Advisory<br />
Council. Kimochi is<br />
especially meaningful<br />
to Bill, as Seattle<br />
Keiro gave great comfort to his dad<br />
in the 80s. Bill wants to foster that<br />
same kimochi, the intuitive good<br />
feelings from which he feels that all of<br />
the NC values emanates.<br />
A hands-on guy, Bill also lends a<br />
helping hand to mail out the <strong>Tayori</strong>!<br />
He is a very active community<br />
member, also serving on the Seattle<br />
JACL Board.<br />
In May, we wished a fond retirement for Ellis Haw, <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>’<br />
Chief Financial Officer. For the last three years, Ellis has been the<br />
backbone of the Accounting Department, ensuring that <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />
<strong>Concerns</strong> stands on a solid financial base.<br />
He embraces the <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> values of respect, trust, kimochi,<br />
quality of life, and family, but quality of life currently stands out most at<br />
this pivotal point in time. He shared a bit of wisdom, “Remember, this<br />
life is not a dress rehearsal. There is but one opportunity, so do your<br />
best and be happy with the result.” Looking back, Ellis most enjoyed<br />
our 35th Anniversary Celebration and our annual Summer Festival.<br />
He has fond memories of Japanese American traditions and culture<br />
as well as community strength and spirit.<br />
Ellis has great confidence in the team he leaves behind, and that<br />
the community will continue to be well served.<br />
Ellis plans to make the most of his retirement in pursuit of fun. He<br />
and his wife, Joyce, will keep busy, volunteering (perhaps with<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>!) and exploring the world around them. Domo<br />
arigato, Ellis, for all you have been to <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>! If you see<br />
a couple in a snazzy sports car with the top down, wind rushing through<br />
their hair, give them a wave, it might be Ellis and Joyce!<br />
Pastor Joe Yoshihara<br />
Pastor Joe has been<br />
connected to the <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />
<strong>Concerns</strong> Family for<br />
many years through<br />
family members that<br />
have participated in<br />
several programs. He volunteered to<br />
serve because of the shared values,<br />
especially quality of life. “I really<br />
want people to live in the fullness<br />
of life that they were created for.<br />
Every day holds so much potential<br />
for people, and there’s nothing more<br />
fulfilling and rewarding than knowing<br />
that you are loved by God and have<br />
immeasurable worth and purpose for<br />
your life.”<br />
Pastor Joe is lead pastor of<br />
Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, a<br />
predominately pan-Asian, Englishspeaking<br />
church in Bellevue with<br />
members from the greater Seattle area.<br />

We<br />
our volunteers!<br />
Volunteers are the heart and soul of <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>,<br />
and we celebrated and honored them at two luncheons<br />

many others. Light Up Nippon and<br />
Fukushima Hula Girls documented<br />
stories of determination and<br />
perseverance. Domo arigato to the<br />
Consulate General of Japan, Seattle Office, for<br />
making this possible, including Paro! The third<br />
film, Jun-Ai, told the story of war and conflict,<br />
love and friendship. Many thanks to Midori<br />
Kikuchi, Keiko Kobayashi, Shogo Okuyama,<br />
and the Jun-Ai Family for making this special<br />
screening possible for the residents, their friends,<br />
and family!<br />
Kokoro Kai Shinnenkai<br />
Guests feasted, celebrated, and bonded<br />
at the Kokoro Kai Shinnenkai Luncheon.<br />
Everyone had a chance to gather, met<br />
those who volunteer on different days and<br />
in other areas (like transportation), and<br />
saw the huge impact that Kokoro Kai<br />
has made on the lives of participants,<br />
volunteers, and staff.<br />
Van Celebration<br />
Seattle Keiro Resident Haruyo Campbell indulged in<br />
the luxury of <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>’ new Toyota Sienna<br />
Mobility Van. To thank all of the people who helped<br />
us win the van in the Toyota 100 Cars for Good<br />
Contest (and show off the new van), we partied<br />
at Seattle Keiro. Voters, residents, and their family<br />
members dropped by and were amazed by the<br />
comfort and technology the van provides.<br />
Genki Gourmet<br />
Our Genki Gourmets have struck<br />
again, leaving satisfied diners with<br />
just a touch of wistfulness as the<br />
last bite of dessert disappeared.<br />
Shinya Asami (with the sweet<br />
talents of pastry chef Fumie<br />
Kumagai) returned in March to<br />
create masterful dishes for the<br />
residents and community guests. In<br />
May, Genki Gourmet Ibtissam Davis served<br />
mouth-watering healthy Lebanese cuisine.<br />
Dietician Randi Saeter eased any guilt with<br />
her discussion of the nutritious menus.<br />
In Concert at Seattle Keiro<br />
April showered Seattle Keiro with not<br />
one, but three wonderful concerts by<br />
engaging and talented musicians! Kochihira<br />
Takane’s Okinawan folk music had Seattle<br />
Keiro residents dancing in their seats!<br />
Kentaro Kihara’s jazz piano struck<br />
a chord with residents, volunteers,<br />
and community members, drawing<br />
in the audience with his playful<br />
style. Hiroshi Takano and his son,<br />
Hiromi, soothed the audience with<br />
acoustic and electric guitar, accompanied<br />
by Takano-san’s beautiful aquatic photography.<br />

FAMILY ALBUM<br />
The <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> Family has great moments to preserve<br />
and share. As a family, we embrace the residents, participants,<br />
volunteers, staff, and community members. We honor long-held<br />
traditions and value kind gestures of friendship and love. Our<br />
Family Album is full of precious and treasured memories.<br />
One of the many daily activities for Kokoro Kai<br />
participants is exercise. As Tomoko leads the<br />
group to run in place, her enthusiasm keeps the<br />
participants going! Standing or sitting, they work<br />
toward their goals of strength and flexibility.<br />
Laughing, crying, and smiling, these babies were<br />
full of emotions and action! The babies were<br />
able to play with each other while parents bond<br />
over parenthood. <strong>Nikkei</strong> Horizons’ baby play<br />
group creates new friendships of all ages!<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor Resident Clara Stewart made a new<br />
friend after a beautiful and graceful Okinawan<br />
sanshin concert and dance. The young artists in<br />
vibrant costumes performed both at Seattle Keiro<br />
and <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor and delighted everyone.<br />
GO MARINERS! Mary Osaki raised her<br />
autographed baseball and wished good luck to<br />
Mariners’ pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma. Iwakumasan<br />
spent time with his fans at Seattle Keiro<br />
residents and put smiles on everyone’s faces!<br />
Kokoro Kai participants made their way down<br />
to Olympia for the Day of Remembrance and to<br />
meet Senator Bob Hasegawa. Participants and<br />
community members were greeted with lunch and<br />
good company. After, participants were able to<br />
enjoy a rare sunny day, and posed for photos in<br />
front of the Capitol building!<br />

5 Cool Summer Tips<br />
Stay hydrated – drink plenty of water, sports<br />
drinks, or other sources of electrolytes. Avoid<br />
caffeine and alcohol.<br />
Wear loose-fitting clothing, preferably white,<br />
which reflects instead of absorbs heat.<br />
Refrigerate water in a spray bottle for a cool<br />
spritz after spending time in the heat.<br />
Replace regular heavy meals with small,<br />
frequent, and lighter meals or snacks of cold<br />
fruit or lowfat dairy products. (You won’t have to<br />
stand near a hot stove!)<br />
Try sleeping on pillowcases made from Steen, a<br />
soft cotton fabric that resembles satin.<br />
Have a safe and cool summer!<br />
