Please join us for this appreciation picnic luncheon and for a day of fun.
BINGO is the usual highlight of our picnics, along with games for the children.
We welcome side dishes and desserts to compliment the hot dogs and
hamburgers. Sweetened ice (flavored shaved ice) will also be provided by
NMJACL.
Donated prizes for our Bingo games would be appreciated so all of our players
may be able go home with a prize. This may be a great occasion to “re-gift” any
new gifts you received in the past and would like to “recycle” them so some
other person may enjoy them. Or, this may be a good time to “de-clutter”
and donate all those items you purchased previously and have not found the
occasion to use these new items yet.
The NMJACL Board of Directors will also provide information on upcoming
events and plans for the organization. Come out on Sunday, June 23rd,
between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. It is advisable that you join us
as soon as the hot dogs and hamburgers are grilled (or while the food supply
last). Spend a day relaxing with your family and “old” and new friends, while
enjoying some good eats.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
HELLO EVERYONE,
School is out for the summer, the
garden is planted and it’s time for
our annual picnic! I hope everyone
will be able to join us on June 23 for
some delicious food and competitive
BINGO! We are always looking for
new JACL members, so please bring
someone that might be interested in
joining our group. What better way
to introduce someone, than to spend
a day filled with food and fun!
The Japan America Society of NM
held a Hanami Party & Kimono Show
on May 5. It was a wonderful way to
spend the afternoon – learning about
kimonos and enjoying a sushi picnic
lunch!
The Festival of Asian Cultures was
held on May 19. Thank you to Lois,
Gordon, Yuuki, Cheryl and Victor for
your help with our NMJACL booth.
As always, Valliant Printing did an
amazing job with the Aki Matsuri
flyers and raffle forms – thank you
Keiko! We had a new member signup during the festival – welcome
Vinod Mehta!
The board continues their hard work
with plans for Aki Matsuri. Many of
our boards members are extremely
busy this year (busier than normal!),
therefore, I am asking for additional
volunteers to come forward early in
the year to help with the planning
and organizing of our festival. Please
contact any board member if you
would like to volunteer.
Enjoy your summer and hope to see
you soon!

AKI MATSURI 2013
NMJACL’s annual fundraising AKI
MATSURI (Japanese Fall Festival)
is just around the corner ~ Sunday,
September 29, 2013, at the National
Hispanic Cultural Center (1701
4th St. SW, on the corner of 4th &
Avenida Cesar Chavez Blvd.) from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m.
to help us “execute” our plans for a
successful Japanese Fall Festival.
The theme this year is, “Tako: The
Way of the Kite.”
The Board of Directors is usually
busy as soon as one festival ends and
plans for the next Aki Matsuri begins
~ by incorporating comments and
feedback from those in attendance
to improve or keep certain aspects
of the program, coming up with a
new theme, getting the contract,
“paperwork,” permits and other
details lined up to host the biggest
event each year to share the Japanese
culture with New Mexico. We offer an
educational, cultural and FUN festival
for the entire family, young and old.
Because of all the hard work that goes
into planning this huge fundraising
event (for a proposed Japanese
Cultural Center in Albuquerque) by
a small group of Board of Directors,
we rely on the generosity of donors,
sponsors, participants and volunteers
THE WAY OF THE KITE
ALL proceeds from the festival
go into the building fund for the
proposed Japanese Cultural Center.
There is a committee of dedicated
volunteers who are investigating,
researching and crunching “numbers”
for possible locations to consider
for this center. Our goal is to obtain
a facility/structure, even if it may
be small to begin with, of “our very
own.” When various options have
been thoroughly investigated, the
committee will present their findings
4
to the Board of Directors, who in turn
will present their recommendations
to the general membership. New
Mexico has so much history and
contributions by individuals of
Japanese ancestry who settled in
this state or were incarcerated in
the camps during WWII. We hope
to share this history and wealth of
information with the community,
along with our unique culture.
NMJACL membership is open to
anyone interested in the Japanese
Culture, and currently, approximately
50% of the membership is nonJapanese, just as the volunteers during
Aki Matsuri are.
We welcome anyone who would like
to volunteer their time, talents and
general assistance to Aki Matsuri
2013. We will have a sign-up sheet
at the picnic on Sunday, June 23rd at
Snow Park (Indian School Rd. NE,
just west of Eubank).
In addition, you may help with our
fundraising efforts by purchasing
raffle tickets (applications are
included in this issue of the Sagebrush
Shinbun, and will also be available
during the picnic). Tickets are $50
each, for a CASH Grand Prize of
$5,000, followed by a 2nd Prize

winning of $2,000, and a 3rd Place
cash giveaway of $1,000. Only 600
ticket applications will be accepted,
and the drawing will then be closed,
presenting much better odds of
winning one of the raffle cash prizes
than winning a comparable lottery
prize.

colored, glossy-paged program. For a
nominal fee, you can advertise your
business, announce an upcoming
event, or send a greeting or message
in print. 2000 programs will be
printed and distributed to those in
attendance with your message inside.
The corporate-sponsorship idea of
inviting/paying the admission fee
for employees and their families was
conceptualized for the first time last
year. In view of its success, especially
the sharing and introduction of the
Japanese culture to many attendees,
NMJACL will again offer businesses
the opportunity to host a company
outing at Aki Matsuri for their
employees and family. An application
to participate is included in this issue.
An application for performers and
participants/demonstrators is also
included in this newsletter. If you
have a talent or special skills related
to the Japanese culture, we welcome
your application for consideration to
participate in Aki Matsuri 2013
Other ways to participate in Aki
Matsuri 2013 include the purchase
The success of Aki Matsuri year
after year is largely the result of
the wide variety of vendors. These
vendors play a huge role in attracting
families to our festival as there is
something for all ages to enjoy. We

NMJACL thanks a new member,
Everett Cunningham of Belen, for
another generous monetary donation

donation and his membership to our
organization.
We would also like to recognize all
the NMJACLers who represented the

for these projects as well as serve on
the NMJACL Board of Directors,
please lend us a hand to guide this
organization to greater heights.

backgrounds and possess vast
knowledge and experience in various
fields. These assets may be invaluable
to our organization, so please step
forward and lend us your help
and expertise. The small group of
volunteer board of directors manages
to plan and execute activities for
NMJACL throughout the year, but we
desperately need additional volunteers
to assist us. This is your organization
~ your voice, input and assistance will
help us to achieve our goals.

NEWS FROM THE JAPAN AMERICA SOCIETY OF NM, INC.
By Mary Burnett de Gomez
I will begin sharing news from
NMJACL’s partner organization, Japan
America Society of NM, Inc. with you
on a regular basis. JASNM, Inc. is
a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
with the mission of promoting strong
relationships and understanding
between the people of Japan and the
people of New Mexico by serving as a
resource in NM of all things Japanese.
We promote and provide educational
and cultural programs for the arts,
business, public affairs, and tourism.
JASNM, Inc. works closely with
the Consulate General of Japan at
Denver to achieve these goals. We
have recently applied for membership
with NAJAS, the National Association
of Japan America Societies in
Washington, DC.
Some of our past programs include
the Tsugaru Shamisen concert at
UNM and a film “The Makioka
Sisters” which was a gift from the
Japanese people in honor of the
100th Anniversary of the Cherry
Tree planting in Washington, DC.
Our “Taste of Japan Tour of NM”
restaurant dinner series promoted
Japanese restaurants in Albuquerque.
Our most recent event was a Hanami
Party and Kimono fashion show and
talk in a private Japanese garden
held in May 2013. Additional films,
programs, and a speaker series are
being planned. Our newsletter, the
“Kizuna Journal”, our Facebook page,
and a website which is in the planning
help to promote membership and
programs.
A very important current project
is the “Strive Program” which our
VP, Dr. Leo Gomez is participating
in as the community representative
for JASNM, Inc. The NM Asian
Family Center (NMAFC) received
a grant from the Center for Disease
Control (CDC) to conduct a survey
on the health of the ABQ Asian
community. The goals of the project
are (1) to increase the ability of Asian
community-based organizations to
implement practice-based strategies
to reduce heath disparities for the
Asian population, and (2) to ensure
meaningful involvement and input
from the Asian population in
development and implementation
of a community health action plan.
A community assessment and
policy scan by NMAFC resulted
in a prioritized list of community
needs, as well as an understanding of
policies that might impact the Asian
population in ABQ. JASNM is the
only Japanese-related organization
represented on the committee.
The project must be completed by
September 2013. For participating in
all phases of the project JASNM will
receive a donation from the NMAFC
of at least $500.

TAKO KICHI: KITE CRAZY IN JAPAN
Recently, there have been various
events around New Mexico related to
kites. When NMJACL came up with
the theme, “Tako: The Way of the
Kite” for Aki Matsuri 2013, the Board
of Directors was not aware of the
public kite events scheduled in and
around Albuquerque.
“Tako Kichi: Kite Crazy in Japan” is
an ongoing exhibit at the Museum of
International Folk Art in Santa Fe,
running from June 9, 2013 to May 24,
2014.
However, these events help to provide
a background to the popularity of
kite making and flying in Japan.
The exhibit presents traditional kites
from various regions in Japan and
introduces a number of respected
traditional kite artists. It explores

museum,

cultural, historic, and artistic
perspectives of kite-making and
kite-flying in Japan. Visitors can
participate in the artistic process
of making kites through engaging
gallery activities.
If you are in Santa Fe, stop in to view
this exhibit. Admission for residents
of New Mexico is free on Sundays,
and youths 16 and under as well as
members of Museum of New Mexico
Foundation are admitted free.

REQUEST FOR URGENT TEMPORARY HOUSING
NMJACL received a request
from Crystal Williams of UNM’s
Department of Emergency Medicine
(Education Office), seeking
temporary housing for medical
school residents from Sendai, Japan,
and Mie, Japan.
These temporary housing will only
be 3-4 weeks. The resident doctors
will be going to UNM during their
residency and are in need in of
emergency housing for their short
duration. As they will most likely
rely on public transportation, and
possibly have long hours, there may
not be much that a temporary “host
family” will have to provide.
Two residents from Sendai will arrive
on June 29, 2013, and leave on July 14,
2013.
One resident from Mie will arrive on
July 14, 2013 and leave on August 10,
2013.

temporary housing, please contact:

NEW MEXICO COURTS LANGUAGE
ACCESS SERVICE NOW AVAILABLE
Greetings,
The NM Administrative Office
of the Courts (AOC) is proud to
announce the launch of our new
Language Access Services web page at
languageaccess.nmcourts.gov
New Mexico’s courts are accessible
to all residents, including those who
speak limited English and those who
are deaf or hard-of-hearing. The new
web page is part of AOC’s outreach
efforts in making the public aware of
the resources available at district and
magistrate courthouses throughout
the state. Resources include
courtroom interpreters; bilingual
staff specially trained to assist outside
of the courtroom; telephone services
in 175 languages in the clerk’s office,
and assistive listening devices, all
provided free of charge.
We are also pleased to announce
that every judicial district in NM
has created a Language Access
Plan, documenting the courts’
commitment to and procedures for
providing language access services.
These documents are the result of
intensive planning, which included
input from community partners, and
can be viewed on the web page.
We hope you will find the page useful
and will help spread the word about
this resource. You are receiving this
email because the organization you
represent interacts with the courts or
has some clients/members who are
limited English proficient, deaf, or
hard-of-hearing.
