A Message from the Executive Director
ホリデーシーズンが近づき、秋が冬になる従って、私は家族について
As the holiday season approaches,
my thoughts are on family - and
our Kimochi family.
考えます。
私はホリデーシーズンがサンクスギビングと共に始まるといつも感じ
The holiday season, for me,
begins with Thanksgiving
-- making sure that all of the
relatives are invited, shopping
for food, getting the house ready,
and most importantly helping
my wife prepare the traditional

on to Christmas and ushering in
the New Year--Oshogatsu! We focus on properly preparing
all the traditional dishes, our version of “osechiryori.” And,
of course, we all drink a shot or two of sake. What a great
tradition!

祝う家族の伝統を継承しています。
これは、私にとって、親戚一同を

勿論、私たち日系人にとって、新年、

ーズン最大のイベントです。私たち流のおせち料理を適切に準備す
I treasure seeing all of the family and witnessing the growth
of our children who are now parents themselves, and to
play with the grandkids. Their presence and influence is
so significant and strong. It is also a time to remember our
elders and other family members and dearest friends who
are gone from our gatherings - but still warmly remembered
and missed. I carry fond memories and deep appreciation
for the love, support, and guidance they have all provided
me over the years.

私は家族全員に会えるのを、
そして今や自分たちが親になった子供
I also think of the seniors who have been with us, or who are
with us at Kimochi now. For many of them, we have filled
the role of family in times of need and have offered our care
and services. But little do they know how much they have
given back to us with their appreciation, warm smiles, their
advice and humor. I also think of our volunteers who so
selflessly give their time and expertise to Kimochi. I hope
that they have gotten as much from volunteering for our
seniors as we have gotten from their generous help. And
thank you to our donors and sponsors who support our
programs and services - your generous gifts are enormously
appreciated and help us continue to provide care for our
seniors and take on the challenge of expanding our services
in the face of growing need.

Shoji Horikoshi - In Memoriam
Shoji Horikoshi, Kimochi
board member and former
Director of the San Francisco
Police Crime Lab, which bears
his name, passed away on July
16 after a five-month battle
with cancer. He was 86. With
his passing, Kimochi and the
San Francisco community lost
one of its precious soldiers.

Sansei Live! Is • Sho - Ni
三世・
Thank you all for supporting
Kimochi and Sansei Live! on its 30th
Anniversary. Our annual fundraiser
took place on October 19th at
One Ferry Plaza, a lovely venue
overlooking the shimmering lights
of the Bay Bridge. Sansei Live! has
always been one of Kimochi’s most popular fundraisers
because it is so much fun. This year, over 350 people
attended and it was a huge party with live bands,
dancing, food and raffle, and great people.
There are so many supporters and volunteers we want to
thank, most especially the Planning Committee headed
by Chairs, Eric Kobuchi and Kelly Mayeda, and CoChair, Richard ‘Juebop’ Jue. Kyle Kuniyoshi who books
and manages the entertainment is priceless, tireless
and deserves special recognition. We also want to
thank Aaron Koga who managed the food/kitchen again
this year and Kenny Watanabe who handled logistics
with a big heart. Steve Lee hosted the ‘Yonsei Lounge’
with music provided by DJ Kepik -- and brought out
his guests and supporters. Thank you to the many
volunteers, especially the wonderful AARS Volunteers
headed by Mel Kon, and the Berkeley Nikkei Student
Union volunteers headed by Christine Jiang.
Two of the Bay Area’s best party and dance bands,
Rendezvous and Big City Revue, were the cornerstone
of the entertainment. KTVU’s Robert Handa and Jana
Katsuyama emceed the evening. Mary Ishisaki, our
Board Member, organized another successful raffle with
the help of the Cherry Blossom Queen Court.
To our sponsors, highlighted below, we are so
appreciative of your generous support – and thank you
to those who attended and contributed your kimochi to
Sansei Live!

Kimochi Golf Tournament Won by Local Favorites!
気持会ゴルフトーナメント
The 32nd Annual Golf Tournament was held at our favorite
spot, the Richmond Country Club in Richmond, CA on
Friday, September 20th. Lowell Kimura was the big winner
over a field of 140 enthusiastic golfers. Kimura shot a net 63
to win Field Low Net honors and the prestigious Tosh HaraSam Sato Memorial Perpetual Trophy.
Our tournament chairs, Lowell and Donna Kimura, and Jerry
Kika did a fantastic job leading a dedicated golf tournament
committee and volunteer corps including the 2013 Cherry

us. All proceeds will go towards supporting our programs
and services for seniors and families throughout San

Kimochi from the Heart
TORI FUKUMITSU, VOLUNTEER
My name is Tori Fukumitsu.
私はトーリ・フクミツと申します。
I have just returned to start my junior
year at Hamilton College in upstate
New York. I spent the summer back
home in the Bay Area and did some
informational interviews to prepare
for my future career, graduate school,
and study abroad.
大学3年生になるため、ニューヨーク州北
部のハミルトン・カレッジに戻ったところで
す。今年の夏は故郷のベイエリアに戻り、
自
分の将来のキャリア、大学院、海外留学へ
準備するため情報収集をしてました。
その時、私の叔父が気持会委員の理事会
のメンバーの友人を紹介してくれました。
My Uncle Lex introduced me to his
friend, who is also a board member
of Kimochi. We spent some time
talking about opportunities outside the bubble that is
Hamilton College and she told me about her board work
on Kimochi. Anyway, after our phone call, I looked
up Kimochi as I was interested in the organization’s
mission, and eventually applied as a volunteer.
大学という塀の外での機会について話し
合い、
その方は気持会での仕事について話
してくださいました。電話での会話の後、気持会に興味を持ち、
ボランティアとして応募しました。
結局、
ひと夏中ボランティアとして働きましたが、
自分がどれだけ
貴重な経験をしたかは言葉で表現できない程で、人生観が変わ
りました。本当にたくさんの素晴らしい人達に出会い、
ランチプ
I ended up volunteering the whole summer, and I
cannot tell you how great a time I had and how it really
was a life-changing experience. I met so many genuine
people and truly enjoyed helping at the nutrition facility
and for the Nihonmachi Street Fair.
ログラムや日本町ストリートフェアを楽しみながらサポートした。
気持会での経験を通じ、
アジア人、特に日本人としての自分を意
識するようになりました。
ここ2年ほどはパリへ海外留学するつも
りでいましたが、
日本へ留学する事にし、留学するまで学べるこ
とは全て学ぶ姿勢で勉強し、留学後は日本語を副専攻したいと
My time at Kimochi really made me think about my
Asian identity, particularly my Japanese side. While I
have been pretty set on going to Paris to study abroad
for almost two years now, I have decided to apply to
go to Japan, learn as much as possible before I depart,
and eventually come back to school and achieve a
Japanese minor. None of this would have happened if
I had not volunteered at Kimochi, and I wouldn’t have
volunteered if I hadn’t learned about Kimochi.
考えています。
これは全て、
自分が気持会でボランティア活動を
しなければ起こらなかったことで、気持会を知らなければボラン
ティアをすることもなかったのです。
学校が始まり、
また忙しい生活に戻ります。
しかし、新しい事に
挑戦し、自分が真に熱心になれるものを発見するチャンスと奨
励をくださったことに感謝します。私はまだ模索中ですし、実際、
これは一生続くプロセスだと思いますが、
自分の天職を見つけ
出したいです。
この夏中、
そのことが頭にあり、大学に戻ってから
School started, so I will be back in the thick of
things very soon. But I wanted to thank you for the
opportunity and encouragement to try new things and
discover what I am truly passionate about. I am still in
this process, in fact I think that it is a life-long journey,
but I am really trying to narrow things down and find
my calling. I kept that in mind throughout the summer,
and will continue to do so as I head back to college.
も意識し続けようと思います。
