The JASSI Community Leadership Awards are given to individuals and organizations that have made a significant contribution to the Japanese-American community in New York. This year, President Hajime Nanahara (Redac, Inc.), Iron Chef America Masaharu Morimoto, and Ambassador Shigeyuki Hiroki received the award.

Many people attended our benefit dinner

including Ambassador Shigeyuki Hiroki of

the Consulate-General of Japan in NY and

individuals of corporations and

organizations such as Mitsui & Co.

(U.S.A.), Inc., Toyota Motor North

America, Inc., KPMG LLP, Ernst &

Young LLP, and Mizuho Corporation

Bank, Ltd. JASSI received accolades for its

31st anniversary dinner and encouragement

for the future activities.

Mr. Senri Oe—a best-selling SONY Music recording artist—played the four songs that he is most famous for: My Island, Camp Sweetheart, PND

(Peace Never Dies), and Kakko Warui

Furare Kata. Guests were enthralled by his beautiful performance.

More than 80 items were donated for the auction from NIHONWASOU USA, Inc., MIKOMOTO, Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., SEIKO Corporation of America, Kitano Hotel, Shiseido, and many more! The items included a beautiful Kimono set, Yankees signed

balls, and a gorgeous pearl necklace! The proceeds will benefit JASSI’s services helping those in need.!

JASSI's 31st Anniversary Benefit Dinner was a resounding success with Mr. Oe Senri’s performance and a silent auction. We aim at the next Gala with equal, if not more, success for further strengthening of our services.

On October 23, 2012, JASSI seniors were invited to a Shabu-Shabu luncheon by

Mr. Yagi—the owner of Shabu-Tatsu restaurant. Many seniors look forward to this event every year and enjoy making Shabu-Shabu with their friends. There was a senior who had Shabu-Shabu for her first time! They had a wonderful time

Monthly Tea Party CõE

On September 20, 2012, JASSI’s Senior Program Coordinator, Mizue Katayama, provided a lecture on “Home Care & Medicaid” at the Japanese American Association of New York during its 6th Senior Week. The workshop was very well-attended, and participants were eager to learn about home care services and Medicaid eligibility criteria for obtaining the long-term care benefits. Through the numerous enquiries from workshop participants, we recognize the continued need for access to home care information.

Mr. A (40s): “I was laid off from the company where I’ve worked for over ten years. At the same time, I became mentally and physically unstable. I called JASSI, and a JASSI’s social worker assisted me with applying for unemployment insurance, health insurance, and other necessity needs. Later, I received all the benefits that I’ve applied for and also found a job!”

Ms. B (30s): “I found out that I’d been deceived from my apartment lease holder and had no idea what to do. I called JASSI and was able to get adequate housing law information ineJapanese. I was able to take care of the apartment issues with a JASSI’s social worker. Thank you JASSI!”

Story about Friendly Visit Volunteer/v�R:.@¢£

Chiori Yamada is a friendly visit volunteer who has been visiting Mr. A at his nursing home since last June. Mr. A does not have any relatives in the New York Tri-State Area, so he looks forward to the volunteer’s visits. One day Mr. A was hospitalized due to his injury. Since his hospitalization, Mr. A stopped eating and became very weak. Ms. Yamada was so worried about him that she advised his caretaker to prepare Japanese rice and noodles and encouraged him to eat every time she visited him. Thanks to her visits, Mr. A started eating again. Without this type of support, Mr. A might not have regained his health. We deeply appreciate Ms. Yamada’s dedicated support for Mr. A.
