Reflections of 35 years<br />
In our 35th year of providing services to our seniors, very few<br />
would think that <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> (NC) has a very strong Los<br />
Angeles connection. One <strong>Nikkei</strong> gentleman that graciously<br />
offered to lend his expertise to our founding community leaders<br />
helped create what NC is today.<br />
35th<br />
<strong>Anniversary</strong><br />
Edwin Hiroto, former Chief Executive Officer of Los Angeles<br />
Keiro, saw a legacy in the making, the first Seattle Keiro, in a<br />
run-down convalescent center for sale in the Mt. Baker area. He<br />
advised both Tosh Okamoto<br />
and Tomio Moriguchi as well<br />
I n s i d e T h i s I s s u e as other community leaders<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> — a proud community accomplishment.<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> Horizon’s celebrates 20th year<br />
As <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> commemorates its 35th year serving our community, one of our<br />
programs, <strong>Nikkei</strong> Horizons (NH), also celebrates its anniversary.<br />
NH launched in September 1990 to offer social opportunities that promote wellness,<br />
creative expression and exploration through a variety of classes and activities. We<br />
started with six instructors and a limited number of classes and workshops. Programs<br />
and instructors were added as the demand grew. Today, more than 270 instructors<br />
have shared their insights and knowledge with almost 2,000 students/participants.<br />
Celebrating its 20th year, NH plans to expand the current offerings to include<br />
people of all ages who are interested in <strong>Nikkei</strong> culture or language. This summer,<br />
we encourage families to share the joy of cooking in Setsuko Agata’s new class,<br />
Anpan Baking with Setsuko and learn how to wear a yukata for bon odori.<br />
As we continue to develop our programs, travel will be a key area of growth.<br />
NH Adventures has already clocked over 500 tours. So far, NH explorers have<br />
toured the region and the globe on nine international, 30 national, and over 450<br />
day tours in Washington state. We welcome your thoughts on new adventures, so<br />
please complete the survey in the <strong>Nikkei</strong> Horizons Schedule. It is also available on<br />
the <strong>Nikkei</strong> Horizons page of our website, www.nikkeiconcerns.org.

OUR MISSION<br />
To enrich and support the lives of<br />
elders and meet their needs in a<br />
way that honors and respects<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> culture and values.<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
It is hard to believe that three months has already gone by since the Board hired Jeffrey Hattori as the new Chief<br />
Executive Officer of <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> (NC). He has truly hit the ground running, working to change the culture and<br />
focus of our organization during his first critical inaugural months.<br />
Fortunately for us, he brings with him established ties and relationships within our community and a familiarity of<br />
our organization as a former Seattle Keiro Administrator. He is also embracing our new Policy Governance model,<br />
permeating it throughout the internal structure of NC to align staff to Board goals and operational expectations.<br />
Fortunately for him, he inherits an organization in a good financial position with knowledgeable and competent staff.<br />
This makes for a great launch point for the future.<br />
I believe that this combination of new governance, new CEO and new staff focus is inspiring as we celebrate our<br />
35th anniversary year.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
David Hayasaka<br />
President<br />
“Okaerinasai!” This was the wonderful and warm reception I received from Yone Terada, Lead Receptionist, as I<br />
entered the front door of <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> upon my arrival as your CEO. In many respects, I feel as though I was on<br />
an extended vacation and have returned home to my “family”… where I belong… a little wiser, more experienced,<br />
with a greater passion to fulfill the mission of <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>.<br />
My life has been intricately tied with <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>, spanning over 33 years, starting as a 13-year-old volunteer to<br />
prepare the original Keiro, weekend janitor and dishwasher, board member, family member of a resident (my mother),<br />
co-founder of a sansei/yonsei fundraising group, Mi-Yo-I Kai, and as administrator of Seattle Keiro. The very essence<br />
of <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> is in my DNA.<br />
I have a vision of a premier <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> organization for today… and tomorrow. My primary focus is to enhance<br />
our current core programs and services. We must ensure “we make each day the best day” for our residents and<br />
participants, family members, staff, volunteers and supporters. However, I am also preparing to meet and work with<br />
all of you and the Board to create a plan, infrastructure and brand to meet the needs and wants of our rapidly evolving<br />
community.<br />
As we celebrate our 35th anniversary and prepare to launch the next 35 years, some things will never change…<br />
the respect of and commitment to the values, caring spirit and community that created <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>. Tadaima!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Jeffrey Hattori<br />
Chief Executive Officer<br />

Residents share Apolo’s victory<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor residents experience the tension<br />
and thrill of Apolo’s races.<br />
Both Seattle Keiro and <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor<br />
resonated with excitement and cheers<br />
as residents watched Apolo Ohno,<br />
their favorite young athlete, become<br />
the most decorated U.S. Olympian in<br />
history with seven medals in<br />
short track.<br />
Because his Olympic races aired<br />
late in the evening, staff recorded all<br />
of Ohno’s competitions and hosted<br />
encore presentation parties for all<br />
the residents and their families to<br />
watch. Some residents watched his races over and over and rooted for their hometown hero<br />
each time he crossed the finish line. Furthering the Ohno spirit, the <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor residents<br />
were decked out with Apolo-style bandana headgear and goatees (soul patches) while they<br />
watched him triumph.<br />
Seattle native Apolo Anton Ohno is dear to <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>. Over the years, he has spent<br />
time with our residents, brought his energy and enthusiasm as our guest of honor at events and<br />
donated generously. As an extended member of our family and community, he inspires and<br />
delights residents, families, volunteers, and staff alike with his dedication and irresistible smile.<br />

Pat Ikegami — A dedicated volunteer<br />
When asked why she donated<br />
so much of her personal time and<br />
money on this project, this dedicated<br />
volunteer replies, “It is all about the<br />
residents.” She credits the staff and<br />
vendors, but it is her drive and vision<br />
that have given the residents’ home a<br />
new ambience.<br />
“New curtains<br />
have given the residents’ home<br />
a new ambience.”<br />
Pat Ikegami’s vision has given our<br />
Seattle Keiro (SK) residents a new<br />
décor. Out went the white privacy<br />
curtains and old bedspreads and<br />
in came stylish and contemporary<br />
patterns and colors. According to<br />
Ibtissam Davis, Support Services<br />
Manager, Ikegami helped coordinate<br />
the fabric designs for the residents’<br />
rooms. She spent a lot of time with<br />
the interior designer to choose colors<br />
and textures that create a friendly and<br />
welcome atmosphere.<br />
“We are very fortunate to have such<br />
caring and committed volunteers that<br />
truly serve our mission. Pat has given<br />
the rooms a facelift with warmer<br />
colors and a home-like feeling. Her<br />
work is recognized not only by the<br />
staff, but the residents and their<br />
families. We have received wonderful<br />
comments from our residents’<br />
families,” says Jeffrey Hattori, CEO.<br />
Davis adds that Ikegami has also<br />
donated a lot of her time to renovate<br />
the lobby. She wanted the lobby to<br />
have a modern Japanese-influenced<br />
look for everyone walking through the<br />
SK doors. Everything works together<br />
harmoniously and helps bring serenity<br />
and a pleasing Japanese sensibility to<br />
the space.<br />
Domo arigato gozaimashita, Pat.<br />
Celebrating our volunteers<br />
Whether they have been with <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />
<strong>Concerns</strong> (NC) for 20 days or over<br />
20 years, more than 80 volunteers<br />
gathered at Seattle Keiro and<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor to celebrate National<br />
Volunteer Appreciation Week (April<br />
18-24).<br />
We honored some of our loyal<br />
volunteers (5, 10, 15, 20, and<br />
25+ years) with service award pins<br />
and thanked all for giving so much<br />
to our residents and participants.<br />
When asked why the volunteers are<br />
so dedicated, Kokoro Kai Volunteer<br />
Mitsuyo Oki summed it up, saying,<br />
“It’s a family. It’s like we just got back<br />
together again.”<br />
In 2009, almost 1500 individuals<br />
gave their time, energy, and devotion<br />
to our residents and participants of<br />
NC. What do the volunteers do<br />
Volunteers celebrate at <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor.<br />
They enjoy interacting with our<br />
residents and other participants.<br />
Some like to entertain with songs,<br />
dance, and dramatic productions or<br />
be involved with creating artwork.<br />
Our volunteers make everyday tasks<br />
fun such as driving the bus for outings,<br />
helping clean up, tending the garden,<br />
or hemming pants for our residents.<br />

of backgrounds. If you have time to<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> Horizons Knitting Duo<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> Horizons’ (NH) volunteer instructors are the heart<br />
of the program. Many have shared their knowledge and<br />
experience for decades.. They have helped hundreds of<br />
people to learn new skills, enjoy new experiences<br />
and form new companionships. In return, the NH<br />
participants have undoubtedly taught their instructors<br />
a thing or two. As we look forward to NH’s upcoming<br />
20th anniversary, we will introduce you to some of<br />
these dedicated volunteers and their equally dedicated<br />
students who make NH so much more rewarding than<br />
other continuing education programs.<br />
Can you imagine a legacy knit together over four<br />
generations, lessons passed from mother to daughter,<br />
teacher to student, now generously shared with all who<br />
have a passion for knitting It might be hard to believe,<br />
but this mother and daughter team is also sharing their<br />
expertise at <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor every Tuesday in the NH<br />
Program.<br />
Sallie Yamada retired in the 1960s but that didn’t slow<br />
her down. She kept active as a Kokoro Kai volunteer.<br />
When NH emerged 20 years ago, Yamada was asked if<br />
she would like to teach knitting, and lucky for us, she said<br />
yes. A hard-core dedicated volunteer, she now shares the<br />
class with her co-teacher and daughter Marcia Almassy.<br />
Almassy joined her mother’s knitting circle as a participant<br />
four years ago. “It feels more like a social circle of friends<br />
than a class as<br />
these students meet<br />
every Tuesday<br />
afternoon to knit,<br />
chat and snack<br />
on treats,” says<br />
Almassy. She adds,<br />
“It is amazing that<br />
Mom can create<br />
incredible designs<br />
Knitting Instructors - Marcia<br />
Almassy and Sallie Yamada.<br />
without reading patterns. She has the creativity and<br />
continues to share her expertise with this class.”<br />
Yamada, age 98, has too many favorite moments to<br />
recall, but she enjoys volunteering her time and teaching<br />
her students how to knit. She remembers when a few<br />
Seattle Keiro staff arrived unannounced halfway through<br />
the quarter for just one lesson to brush up on their skills.<br />
A rare mother and daughter treasure of the NH program,<br />
Yamada and Almassy both enjoy the interaction with<br />
students and have no plans on stopping. “As long as there<br />
are participants, we will be teaching,” says Yamada.<br />
If you are interested in knitting or crocheting with<br />
Sallie and Marcia, this class is held Tuesdays at <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />
Manor from 1-3 p.m. Registration is required with NH.<br />
For more information, call NH Manager, Rie Taki at<br />

Celebrating 35 years continued from page 1<br />
come up for sale often and building a new one would be<br />
difficult considering our limited experience and resources.<br />
With the backing of and a little sweat equity from the<br />
community, this facility could become a place to care for<br />
our Issei.<br />
Hiroto graciously gave us permission to use the name<br />
“Keiro” as part of our nursing home name. To bear no<br />
confusion with LA Keiro Services, we officially became<br />
Seattle Keiro.<br />
He continued to offer guidance as we launched our huge<br />
$500,000 capital fundraiser. Hiroto, fresh from managing<br />
a successful capital campaign in Los Angeles, sent<br />
Okamoto’s daughter, Joyce, who was an administrative<br />
assistant for the consortium that operated the Los Angeles<br />
Keiro. She shared her experience and expertise to help us<br />
set up an action plan.<br />
This Los Angeles visionary recognized key elements that<br />
helped us to achieve our dreams. Although Hiroto cannot<br />
join our celebration, as he passed away December 25,<br />
2008 in the San Juan Islands, he will be remembered for<br />
his contributions and has our eternal gratitude.<br />
Edwin Hiroto will always have an important place in our<br />
history, which we are recording in a 35th anniversary<br />
commemorative book. Our community has worked very<br />
hard to make NC what it is today. This book reflects on<br />
these efforts — how we started, where we are today and<br />
what our future holds.<br />
In the next edition of the Tayori, we will feature another<br />
excerpt from the first NC history book. Stay tuned.<br />
