Kimochi San Mateo Capital Campaign Update
一年半前、気持会はサンマテオの土地購入を発表し、資金調達キャン
When we announced the acquisition of our Kimochi San
Mateo site and embarked on the KSM Capital Campaign 18
months ago, we faced a $2.5 million fundraising challenge
($2.0 million for construction, $500,000 for equipment and
furnishings). But we kept an eye to the end goal: a home
in San Mateo County to support Peninsula seniors and their
families and caregivers, a new kitchen for home-delivered
meals, a family caregiver support program, and day services
for seniors -- all in the Kimochi tradition of care.

Since that kick-off, it has been gratifying that so many of you
have rolled up your sleeves to help. With collective support
from friends and families, community and corporations, we
have gotten closer to raising the necessary dollars to start
construction. As of midsummer, the KSM Capital Campaign
has reached the $1.66 million mark under the leadership
of Capital Campaign Honorary Chair, Steve Okamoto, CoChairs, Sandy Mori and John Noguchi, and Kimochi senior
management, Steve Nakajo, Executive Director, and Anna
Sawamura Higaki, Program Director.

A Message from the Executive Director
2014年夏、事務局長から
Summer is here and brings a wonderful, new energy to our Japantown community. School is out,
tourists abound, and I enjoy old friends coming back to visit with me -- to talk about family, life,
and for many, their retirement plans and life after work. These “Baby Boomers” are who I now
think about as we plan for Kimochi’s future. I am also a Baby Boomer and find myself seriously
contemplating life as an aging Sansei.
Steve Nakajo MSW,
Executive Director
I also see many new faces -- young students of all ages, from grade school to college graduates,
who are looking for a connection to Kimochi. They are genuinely interested in hearing my
story and Kimochi’s vision for developing a meaningful, inter-generational approach to support
families as they face the aging of their parents and grandparents. They are our future and their
involvement in our programs and services is essential. Without them, our mission and philosophy
loses meaning. But summer always brings them to visit and volunteer, and it is wonderful that our
services continue to be valued and respected.

Mrs. Takahashi and her late husband, Henri Takahashi, have
been long-time supporters of the community and Kimochi,
in particular. They were guardian angels when Kimochi first
built the administration building, in 1999, at 1715 Buchanan
Street. The Takahashi’s generous gift helped us establish our
home-base of operations, a site which was purchased from
Masateru Tatsuno, owner of the Nichi Bei Bussan department
store in the Buchanan Mall.

Easy Tips to Keep our Seniors Summer Ready!
シニア世代が夏を過ごすためのヒント
From Kimochi Nutritionist, Natalia Covacha
気持会栄養士　ナタリア・コバーチャ
Hello, Summer! Beach weather and vacation season are here
and this is the perfect time to remind and educate ourselves
on how we can keep our family, especially our elderly,
hydrated, healthy, and happy during warm weather months.
夏です。心地よい気候と休暇のシーズンがきました。
ここで、暑

しっかりと
水分を補給する方法を考えてみましょう。
まずお水です！
H2O is the way to go! Keep hydrated.
水分の補給を忘れずに。熱気から身を守るのには身体が十分
It is imperative to keep your body hydrated to beat the heat.
Try to drink at least 5-7 glasses of water a day. Water intake
is highly recommended – but some seniors may also prefer
a glass of cold flavored waters, teas, and juices which counts
toward the glasses-a-day goal. A little variety makes everyone
happy.
に潤っていることです。毎日グラスで、少なくとも5-7杯のお水を

たフレーバー入りの水、お茶やジュースを好む方もいるでしょ
う。水分が取れるのでかまいません。ちょっとしたバリエーショ
ンで、みんなが水分の補給ができればよいと思います。
Limit intake of caffeinated drinks and alcohol.
カフェインやアルコールの摂取量を抑えましょう。
Avoid or limit your intake of caffeinated drinks such as
soda, coffee drinks, and cocktails. Minimize your alcoholic
consumption. Fresh fruit drinks such as lemonades and iced
tea are advisable as good alternatives. Try Smoothies and
light yogurt as well for energy.
フルーツドリンク、例えばレモネードやアイスティーなどをお勧め

ります。
Eat or snack on seasonal fruits such as watermelon,
cantaloupe, strawberry, figs, blueberries, mangoes, and
oranges. These fruits can replenish one’s Vitamin C daily
intake. Vegetables like celery, carrots, cucumbers, which you
can now buy in To Go and bite-size packages from your local
grocery stores and markets, are ideal for on-the-go snacking.
Healthy snacking is beneficial to our elderly to provide
needed vitamins and nutrients. Daily consumption is highly
recommended.

Staying Active and Young at Heart
Kimochi programs and services always stress ‘to live a
genki life.’ Something that is important as many of us
have embarked on the “Golden Years.” Getting together
with friends and even making new friends, having a
tanoshii (fun) time together = staying young at heart.
Here are some photos of recent outings of the Senior
Center Activities.
All these smiling faces tell you that you’re never too
old to have fun and that there is so much to discover
together!
For more information about the many Senior Center Activities
