Many thanks go out to the JCCH Board of Directors for their oversight and steadfast leadership throughout the year and to our many members and donors who provided us with their generous support. Programmatically, it was another year filled with cultural activities, educational outreach, and expanding partnerships. JCCH was on the road with The Untold Story: Internment of Japanese Americans in Hawai‘i, the JCCH full-length documentary film, with screenings in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose and Manzanar. The JCCH Hawai‘i Internment Education Committee worked with the Department of Education to develop a teacher’s resource guide to the film and hosted over a thousand high school students on a tour of Honouliuli. Back at home, the center welcomed sumo legend Jesse Kuhaulua for a special talk-story reception, co-sponsored efforts to bring Sadako Sasaki’s paper crane to Honolulu and co-hosted the family of Sadako Sasaki for International Peace Day at Pearl Harbor. The staff and volunteers organized the annual New Year’s ‘Ohana Festival for thousands of participants. They also led over 5,200 students and teachers through our historical exhibit, Okage Sama De. You might also recall reading about JCCH in the news —hosting U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, participating at the National Park Service’s Community Meetings to advocate for the preservation of Honouliuli as a national park, and as guests of Hawaii Five-O to visit the set of Honouliuli for the taping of the episode, Ho‘onani Makuakane, Honor Thy Father. We concluded the year with our annual gala, Sharing the Spirit of Aloha, and celebrated the governor’s announcement of the release of $450,000 in capital improvement grant funds to JCCH. Our success of the past year places us in a strong position as we open the books for the 2014-2015 year. We thank you for your past support and look forward to your continued support moving forward.
