DESCRIPTION

Bulletin covering the following topics: Asian Drop In Center- ?The Asian Drop-In Center, 2523 Beacon Avenue South and sponsored by the Chapter, is a two story wooden frame house. There is something within which attracts the teenagers. This has been a home away from home where young people can be themselves. Supervisor Ruthann Kurose will attest to that. But to older generations people peeking in, the Center rains as mysterious as ever, and this may be true for the public in general. Benefits of the Center will have to be gauged on long-term effect we are told. However, the Center has been attentive to immediate problems as dropouts, referral pro for drug cases and for the emotionally disturbed. Miss Sharon Fujii, Sr. Joe Okimoto, will assist from Don Kazama and Sam Shoji will help unravel the workings of the Center. This will be the program portion of the meeting; Pride and Shame exhibit and JACL receive a $6,666.00 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a portable exhibit and public presentations. Pride refers to the spirit of the Issei, the struggle of the Nisei, and the Sansei as they address the inequities of the past. Shame refers to the ?Shame? of American society that such inequities exist. Chair is Tomio Moriguchi.
