Capital Campaign in its Final Stretch
Together with your support, we have raised $21.5 million or
93% of the capital campaign goal!
However, as we approach our final three months of the
campaign, every gift counts in order to successfully complete
our $900,000 Kresge Foundation Challenge Grant by November
2007. This means that every $3 donated will bring in $1
toward our Kresge award. Please continue to help spread the
word to push us to our final goal of $23.2 million!

Preliminary design of “Celebration” windchime. Rendering courtesy of
Saya Moriyasu.
In addition to the Donor Staircase Art Installation designed
by artist Susie Jungune Lee recognizing gifts from $10,000$99,999, a second art installation proposal submitted by local
visual artist Saya Moriyasu has been selected to permanently
acknowledge gifts in the $5,000-$9,999 range.
While still early in the design process, Saya’s “Celebration”
is a windchime inspired by the inviting and relaxing sounds of
water and bells and the lively colors shared by many community
festivals. It is meant to evoke a feeling of welcome, warmth
and the nostalgia of past celebrations. The work will consist of
colorful ceramic balls, ceramic faces and metal, with fans for
gently moving the chimes and bells.
According to Saya’s vision, “The artwork tells a story of
a collective immigration and celebration of our cultures…the
ringing of the bells honors those who enter the building and
those who donated to the museum…the balls are life, energy,
abundance and harvest. The people are us, our ancestors and our
friends.”
We look forward with great anticipation to experiencing this
vibrant and graceful art installation in the Welcome Hall of the
new Museum.
Please consider how you can help and encourage others to
be a part of this once in a lifetime Museum project! Donations
can be made online at www.wingluke.org and multi-year pledge
forms are also available. For more information, please contact
Charlene Mano Shen, Capital Campaign Manager, at (206) 6235124 ext. 110.

As we near the end of our historic capital campaign to build
a permanent home in the Chinatown-International District, I’ve
decided to step down as executive director of the Museum.
Change and renewal are healthy. Seventeen years, I’ve decided, is long enough
to be working at a single institution, especially if the organization has a robust
support base and other talented and effective leaders—and future leaders—already
in its midst.
For me, it’s time to find out what life is like outside the museum walls while I’ve
still got passion for new work-life adventures.
Sadly, there isn’t space here to separately acknowledge the hundreds of
individuals who’ve made my past 17 years at the museum so memorable. The
collective I call the Wing Luke Asian Museum “family”—the staff, volunteers,
board members, activists, students, artists, elders, neighborhood advocates, museum
colleagues, educators and historians—have changed my life forever.
More importantly, the “family” has—through their idealism, hard work and
creativity—helped build and bring to life the community-based institution that
exists today, anchored at the historic East Kong Yick Building, scheduled to open
next year.
I will continue to support the Wing Luke Asian Museum—and its new
leadership team, with Beth Takekawa, our current CEO, rising to the helm as the

Kong Yick Building, and a smooth management transition.
After more than 10 years with the Wing Luke Asian Museum,
Beth Takekawa, current CEO of the Museum, will transition into
the role of Executive Director. As part of the Museum leadership
team, she has been instrumental not only in the success of the
Capital Campaign, but also the internal operations and program
growth. Viewed by her colleagues as a strong and passionate
leader, Takekawa will continue the work that has made the Wing
Luke a highly recognized and touted institution nationwide.
“After 17 amazing years as Executive Director of an
institution such as the Wing Luke Asian Museum, I am so
honored to have served this community and plan to stay very
involved with the museum,” said Ron Chew, Wing Luke Asian
Museum Executive Director. “The outpouring of support for the
Capital Campaign has really touched my heart. I was entrusted
with the task of leading this effort to build a new museum and
now that the completion of the new museum is in sight, it feels
right to pass the torch to a new leader for the next phase of this
journey. Having worked with Beth for more than 10 years, it
feels right to pass the torch to her specifically.”
Being Executive Director of the Museum was more than a
job for Chew, it was a labor of love. Under Chew’s leadership,
the Museum has been elevated to nationwide prominence and the
leadership team viewed as experts in the industry. Additionally,
the grassroots Museum became the first Smithsonian-affiliated
institution in the Pacific Northwest. The highly ambitious
Capital Campaign, which was launched in February of 2003,
is nearing completion on the $23.2 million needed to take the
Museum to a new level and has been recognized for its success
on all fronts.

Thank You and Welcome
We extend our deep appreciation
to Joy Shigaki, our fearless Capital
Campaign Manager for the past three
years, who is embarking on a new life
adventure in New York City. When
Joy entered our campaign, she both
energized and organized all of us to
achieve beyond our known abilities.
Her palette of community commitment and connections, her
strategic vision, as well as her public sector experience and her
dogged pursuit of the goals helped make possible our historic
and successful campaign. We thank Joy for the legacy she has
helped the Museum to achieve, and we look forward to seeing
her at the Grand Opening next year!
Please welcome a familiar face,
Charlene Mano Shen, who returns to
our staff as Capital Campaign Manager,
managing the campaign completion.
Char was a longtime Museum employee
who helped develop the Museum’s
education tours and community
partnerships programs. While more
recently raising her four-year-old son Gabe, she has been a
campaign volunteer, leading two key and very successful capital
campaign initiatives. We are excited Char has returned to our
staff in this new role!
Welcome also to Gerald Busque, our new Accounting
Specialist. Gerald is a recent UW graduate majoring in
economics and communications. He is pursuing his Masters
degree in accounting at Seattle University. Gerald grew up on the
Big Island, Hawaii, and he coordinated the UW’s Hui Hoaloha
Ulana Luau. We are pleased to introduce Karen Kajiwara,
recently hired as Executive & Trustee Associate, a new staff
position that was created to support our new staffing plan.
Karen relocated to the Pacific Northwest from Washington D.C.,
where she was Administrative Manager for the Natural Sciences
Collections Alliance, where she managed a national board and
operations for a professional association of museums. She was
previously a meetings and conferences coordinator and also
worked in museum design access. Karen is a native Oregonian
and her mother and uncle are volunteers at the Oregon Nikkei
Legacy Center in Portland.
Thank you to former staffer Tommy Lee for his great
accounting work. Tommy is pursuing his career in marketing
at a company in Everett while still competing as a b-boy.
Best wishes to Tracy Buck, who has been assisting with our
upcoming Museum collections move and is now employed at
MOHAI.
Congratulations to staff members promoted to new positions
as part of the Museum’s Expansion Staffing Plan, preparing for
expanded operations in the new facility: Vivian Chan, Cesar
Cueva, Michelle Kumata and Liz Shaiken, thank you for
stepping up to new challenges and accomplishments!

Exhibit Walkthrough with Michelle Kumata
Thursday, October 4, 3pm
At the Wing Luke Asian Museum
Free admission/ during free First Thursday
Michelle Kumata, Exhibits Manager, will share her personal
reflections on the exhibition, items from the collections that were
used and about the artists’ styles.
A project that began in 1999 after receiving a grant from King
County’s Cultural Development Authority, APALA’s goal was
to counter the stereotype about Asian Americans as passive
immigrants who have never played any role in the U.S. labor
movement. Through photographs and interviews of Asian
American labor activists, this poignant exhibit tells the rich story
of Asian resistance to economic exploitation and racism.
Family Day at the Wing!
Family Day at the Wing with Pei Pei Sung
Saturday, October 20, 1pm-3pm
Free admission
Graphic designer Pei Pei Sung returns to the Wing Luke
Asian Museum for another creative luminary workshop.
Using castaway stemware, paper, wire, beads and other
embellishments, workshop participants will leave with a bright
new light or two. Participants are encouraged to bring their own
special knick-knacks and decorative scraps.
Founded in 1992, APALA, AFL-CIO, is the first and only
national organization of Asian Pacific American union members.
It organizes and works with Asian Pacific American workers,
many of them immigrants, to build the labor movement and
address exploitative conditions in the garment, electronics, hotel
and restaurant, food processing, and health care industries.

the artifacts, photographs and documents in the Museum’s

to commentary on the state of isolation of the immigrant
experience, the individual artworks illustrate how the collection
inspired and influenced the artists’ designs.

Join TeensWAY!
TeensWAY, an art-based program that engages youths in
Asian Pacific American history and culture, is gearing up for
its fourth year at the Wing Luke Asian Museum. This year’s
program will reflect the transitions of the Museum’s move to
the East Kong Yick building. Local Asian and Pacific Islander
American artists will work with local youths to create visual
pieces that reflect the identity, legacy and community history of
their neighborhoods. The youths’ art will premier in May 2008 at
the Frank Fujii Youth Space in the new museum.
We are currently recruiting youths, ages 12-16 to be a part
of this art-based community program. In addition to the art
projects, the program also engages the youth in leadership
development and community building. Application deadlines
are due by October 31, 2007. For more information, please
contact Ammara Hun, TeensWAY program coordinator, at (206)
623-5124 ext. 116 or at [email protected]
TeensWAY Cookbook Project Update: The recipe cards
will be completed and available for purchase in September. All
proceeds will benefit the TeensWAY youth program. All recipes
were supported and taught by local community members. To
purchase the recipe cards, please contact (206) 623-5124 ext.
116.
Museum Adds Takano Negatives to its Collection
The Wing Luke Asian Museum Community Heritage Center
recently was given the negative collection of the former
Takano Studio.
Consisting of primarily 8”x10” negatives, the subjects of
the photographs are people and events of the Seattle Japanese
American community in the 1920s and 1930s. Included are
sporting events, weddings, families, churches and farms. The
collection was saved by Henry and Yuki Miyake, and then
kept and shared by Sadie and Frank Yamasaki and the Betsuin
Archives.
The negatives, many of nitrate film, will be cleaned, prepared
for storage and then scanned to preserve the image and make
them accessible to the community and Museum patrons.
This collection coincides wonderfully with the Nippon Kan
Heritage Association collection recently received from Ryo
Tsai. Ryo Tsai and members of the Nippon Kan Heritage
Association collected
originals and copies
of photographs of the
early Japanese American
community of Seattle in
1985 to commemorate
the 75th anniversary of the
opening of the Nippon Kan
Theatre. The fruits of this
effort was the exhibit “The
Way It Was: Northwest Issei
and Nisei Before 1942.”
Information regarding the
creation of this exhibit and
its contents will be available
in the Community Heritage
Center, in addition to Mrs. Tsai’s personal library.
Recently the Wing Luke Asian Museum also received
a selection of leather hand stitched gloves from the Jerauld
Manufacturing Company of Seattle. According to the donor,
her aunt ran the company prior to and during World War II and
employed a number of Japanese American women to sew the
gloves. With internment, the manufacturing continued for a
while at Minidoka. Does anyone have information to confirm
this story? We would like to know more about the women who
sewed the gloves and if they continued to work at the camp.
For more information about Community Heritage Center and
our collections, please contact Bob Fisher, Collections Manager,
at (206) 623-5124 ext. 117 or email [email protected].

Wing Luke Asian Museum Capital Campaign
How You Keep A Story Going
We are pleased to share the stories of our generous campaign donors. Their commitment and
giving to the Wing Luke Asian Museum is inspiring and we hope you will be equally inspired!
Ammara Hun: Empowering Youth with
Knowledge
With mother, Montha Kimso, and brother,
Darrell Hon.
Ammara began as an intern at the
Wing Luke Asian Museum in the summer
of 2003 after finishing her first year at
the University of Washington. She was
assigned to help with the youth program,
KidsPLACE, and was later hired to be the
youth program coordinator in 2004. The
youth program, now named TeensWAY,
fulfills one of Ammara’s passions:
teaching youth about Asian Pacific
American history and contemporary issues
through art-based projects and community
service.
Through college courses, involvement
in local Cambodian American
organizations and the Wing Luke Asian
Museum, Ammara has begun to more
fully comprehend and appreciate her own
family history and of her mother’s ordeals
as a refugee from Cambodia. As a child,
Ammara witnessed her mother’s posttraumatic stress, but also heard stories
of her mother’s life in Cambodia before
the Khmer Rouge regime. Not until her
high school years did Ammara begin to
piece together her Cambodian (or Khmer
American) heritage, by doing her own
reading and research to understand why
and how her mother and other Cambodian
Americans found a new life in America.
A recent graduate and now working
full-time at the Museum, Ammara chose to
donate $1,000 to the new museum because
it will offer a larger space to continue to
educate and preserve not only the history
and culture of Khmer Americans, but
of other Asian Pacific American ethnic
groups as well.
“There is no other place where I
can share and learn about my history
as a Khmer American. I want to see
the museum grow with its new space,
programs and exhibits, especially when
there are still many histories and narratives
to uncover,” said Ammara. “The new
space will also provide a place for other
underrepresented groups to share their
history and culture, and be a permanent
and prominent place for future generations
to learn about the past, and use that
knowledge to deal with the present.”
Molina Kaur and Jasmit Singh
Kochhar: A Community Place that
Welcomes Dialogue
Molina and Jasmit with their family.
Molina was born and raised in Seattle,
but her father immigrated here in the
1960s as part of the wave of South Asian
professionals who came to pursue their
American Dream. But on September
11, 2001, Sikhs all over North America
suddenly became targets of misplaced
hate because of their turbans and unshorn
8
hair and beards. It was then when Jasmit,
Molina’s husband, became involved
with the Sikh Coalition, an organization
that aims to educate the state and federal
authorities, as well as the general public,
about Sikh Americans.
Molina and Jasmit became the link
between the Wing Luke Asian Museum
and the Sikh American community,
mobilizing other members of the Sikh
American community and their friends and
family members to work with the Museum
on the various projects that were to follow
over the past 6 years. These projects
included a candlelight remembrance of
Vincent Chin and Balbir Singh Sodhi (the
first Sikh American post 9/11 to be killed
in a hate crime); a traveling art exhibition
created by Sikh American youth; and
an exhibition and programming that
documented the 100 year history of Sikh
Americans in the Pacific Northwest.
“The Wing Luke Asian Museum
helped us raise awareness, educate and
honor those who had fallen to hate,”
Molina noted. “The connection that we
made with the Museum and its staff will
last our lifetime.”
Because Molina and Jasmit believe in
the vision of the Museum, they have given
a generous gift and have agreed to work
on various projects that support the capital
campaign.
“To us, the Wing Luke Asian Museum
represents the ideal of the Sikh principle
of ‘Sarbat Da Bhala’ which means “take
a stand in the world for the good of all
people,” reflected Molina and Jasmit.
“Our hope is that it continues to give
voice to communities that do not have
the resources and creates a warm place
to welcome dialogue for construction
of a more understanding and respecting
world.”

Wing Luke Asian Museum Capital Campaign
How You Keep A Story Going
(continued from Page 8)
Nhien Nguyen and Richard Cranor: A
Central Hub for Community
Nhien’s journey has taken her from
Vietnam to Guam, Camp Pendleton to
Spokane, and finally to Portland where she
was raised. But she calls the Wing Luke
Asian Museum her second home.
Nhien’s involvement with the Museum
began in 1999 when she was hired as a
grants writer and development associate.
She was also trained as a docent and loved
working with the kids and youth. Nhien
also had a hand in exhibit and program
development as well as helping to re-start
the annual art auction. Even though she is
now editor of the International Examiner,
Nhien feels that the Museum connected her
to the Asian Pacific American community
and immersed her in the culture of
the Chinatown/International District
neighborhood, providing a great foundation
for her current job.
Though not Asian, Nhien’s partner,
Rich, became interested in issues related
to the Asian Pacific American community
when he had the opportunity to do a script
reading focused on Japanese American
veterans and after making two films on the
Asian American experience. When Nhien
asked him about making a stretch gift for
the new museum, he immediately agreed.
“As a Vietnamese American, I think it’s
important to have a dedicated significant
space that includes the experience
of Southeast Asians and also newer
immigrants. As the flow of immigrants
from Asia continues, it is important to
reflect the pan-Asian experience fully and
completely,” said Nhien. “The Museum’s
mission serves to educate and involve not
only Asian Pacific Americans but also
the wider public. I think the Museum
has the potential to be a place that binds
the community together-- a central hub
for community, friendship, culture and
support.”
Christina Rockrise: A Place of Personal
Discovery
Christina was delighted to discover
the Wing Luke Asian Museum when she
moved to Seattle in 1983, a museum that
would link her personally to her own
family heritage.
Arriving at the turn of the 20th century,
Christina’s paternal grandfather had come
from Japan, spending a few years in India
and finally settling in New York. He
adopted the surname Rockrise, which was
a translation of his first name, became an
architect and married a woman of English
descent.
Christina’s father also married a
European American woman. Since her
mother passed away when Christina was
only 6 years old, she identified most with
her Japanese ancestry. Not growing up
within the Asian American community, she
noted that the Wing Luke Asian Museum
has been a valuable source of information
and connection for her and a window into
9
the larger world of Asian Americans.
Christina and her husband, David
Brown, have been Museum members
for years and with great excitement have
been following the development of the
expanded space. Wanting to be a part of
the new museum, she is working on the
Museum Marketplace, the new museum
store, to make this a wonderful element to
the Wing Luke Asian Museum experience.
Christina’s gift has enabled her
to “honor my grandfather, Iwahiko
Tsumanuma, a remarkable man who I was
never able to know except through my
father’s stories.”
“The Wing Luke provides a place
of pride and identity for so many Asian
Pacific Americans young and old, and
brings new awareness to those not Asian
Pacific Americans,” said Christina. “Not
only will the new space be able to tell our
story in many exciting and varied ways,
but it is also a new cornerstone that will
bring attention to the International District
in such positive ways. I am proud to be
part of the effort.”
Ann Fujii Lindwall: A Museum
Supported by Family and Life-Long
Friends
With husband Alan Lindwall.
Ann Fujii Lindwall’s “career”
within Seattle’s Asian Pacific American
community began when she was a
volunteer writer for the Asian Family Affair
and the International Examiner. Since Ron
Chew was the editor of the International
Wing Luke Asian Museum Capital Campaign
How You Keep A Story Going
(continued from Page 9)
Bob and Carol Givens: Remembering
Wing Luke’s Legacy
Examiner for many years, it was natural
that she would support him and his vision
when he moved to the Wing Luke Asian
Museum as its executive director.
Ann’s father, Frank Fujii, had also been
involved with the Asian Pacific American
community as a teacher, coach, artist and
volunteer over the years. When the idea
came up to honor her father with a naming
opportunity in the new expanded museum,
Ann and her family were generously
supported by the many life-long friends
and community members they have had
over the years.
“I believe the foundation for my
support of the museum stems from the
relationship between the Fujii and Chew
family on many different levels. I have
personally known Ron for about 30
years,” said Ann. “I introduced Ron to my
father, who was then working at Seattle
Central Community College, and who
later befriended both of Ron’s parents.”
“I look forward to the opening of the
new museum and the dedication of the
space named for my father. I am glad
both my parents set such a good example
of being committed community leaders,”
said Ann. “I know that my community
involvement will be the legacy I leave
to the Museum and the great people that
support it.”
Bob and Carol have been regulars
around the Wing Luke Asian Museum for
many years. In 1992, after retiring from a
37-year career at The Boeing Company,
Bob became a Museum volunteer, coming
in on Tuesdays for his shift with fellow
volunteer, Ed Suguro. Over the years,
Bob and Carol could be seen at many
of the opening receptions, educational
programs and the annual dinner and
auction, supporting the Museum in many
capacities. More recently, Bob was asked
to be on the Inside the Vision Team, a
capital campaign committee that hosted
several receptions for current and former
volunteers to raise money for the new
museum.
“I am adopted by a Chinese family. I
love them and they love Carol and me.
Seeing them as immigrants making a new
home in the United States made me reflect
on the story of new Americans,” Bob
noted. “As a young boy growing up in the
South and realizing the restrictions placed
on people of color, I didn’t want others to
have to go through that same experience.
It was timely that a former board member,
Cynthia Rekdal, referred me to the
Museum shortly after I retired.”
“I also remember how Wing Luke was
attacked when he ran for public office
and how difficult it was back then when
people were so divided. I admired him for
having the guts to stand up to the system,
and then for him to win,” he added. “At
that time, Seattle was a city that practiced
10
closed housing. Wing Luke was the person
that attempted to change that situation and
behold, he did.”
When asked for a personal gift, Bob
and Carol talked about how much they
could give and decided together on a
$5,000 gift, plus an additional 50 percent
match from Boeing that Bob was able to
obtain.
“We hope the enthusiasm, dedication,
hard work and love will forever be
remembered by those who will have the
opportunity and pleasure to visit the Wing
Luke Asian Museum at the new larger
building.”
