Japantown Better Neighborhood Plan Youth/Young Adult Committee
Concerned young members of the community, including Nakayoshi members, have formed a committee to address the redrafting of the Japantown Better Neighborhood Plan in the coming year. The committee is currently undertaking an analysis of the plan in order to coordinate outreach to the rest of the community and our peers about how the plan will affect future developments in San Francisco's Japantown neighborhood as well as how our generation within the community will be affected by the outcome of the plan. This is an opportunity for young people to build consensus on the issues presented and to take action in helping shape the future of our community!We at Nakayoshi strongly encourage you to educate yourselves on the issue and get involved with this committee. The committee is currently scheduled to meet on Fridays from 6-8pm at the JCCCNC in San Francisco Japantown. To find out more about the youth/young adult committee, please contact Aya Ino at aino@jcccnc.org.

Youth/Young Adult Committee for Japantown Better Neighborhood Plan
Please join Nakayoshi and other concerned young members of the community and get involved with a youth-based community input committee focusing on the Japantown Better Neighborhood Plan, which will affect future development in San Francisco's Japantown. There will be a meeting this Tuesday, Nov. 3rd and on Friday, Nov 6th at the JCCCNC. Here's more information from Aya Ino, Programs Associate at the JCCCNC:
Hello! There is going to be a Better Neighborhood Plan committee meeting this Friday, Nov 6th at 6PM JCCCNC Conference Room 1. This is a youth-based group that we are trying to start up so we can breakdown the massive plan (huge booklet with lots of diagrams and paragraphs) and speak with merchants and younger generations about what they would like to see happen in J-town in the future. Many people are having a difficult time understanding the complicated plan and we are hoping that this committee will be able to come together and organize the community so everyone can have a collective say. We are having a smaller meeting today (Tuesday) at 6PM @ JCCCNC if you are unable to attend Friday's larger meeting. Please email me at ayaino@gmail.com if you would like to attend either of the meetings. The BNP Plan itself, highlighted versions with negative aspects identified by community leaders, agenda, and light refreshments will be provided. Hope to see/meet some of you soon!

Nakayoshi recognized for making a positive impact within the Asian American community by Asian Heritage Street Celebration
Nakayoshi was pleasently surprised this week to learn the Asian Heritage Street Celebration (AHSC) has selected Nakayoshi as one of the beneficiaries of a $250 donation in recognition for being an Asian American nonprofit organization that has made a positive impact within the community.
Each year the AHSC raises funds for the San Francisco Unified School District Raffle Program through ticket sales and a portion of those profits are presented to approximately 20 Asian American nonprofits and community groups who have made positive impacts within the Asian American Community at the AHSC Awards Reception.
It has been an amazing journey for Nakayoshi, and in as little as two years, we have grown so much. We could not have made such an impact without members like you supporting us.
As we continue to strengthen our mission to connect young professionals with the greater Asian American and Bay Area community, we are fortunate to have made so many great relationships with various community events and organizations.
To our friends at AHSC and to our community, thank you.

Nakayoshi Monthly Update - October 2009
Hey Nakayoshi, here's our Monthly Update for October!
If you've followed what's been going on this past month, we had a great time in September volunteering at the JCCCNC's annual event where we celebrated 140 years of Japanese food in America, networked and checked out artwork by emerging API artists at Kearny Street Workshop's happy hour mixer for their APAture arts festival, and got our roll on at our second sushi-making class taught by the Inaba brothers at the JCCCNC.
October may be halfway over, but we still have our monthly events for October coming up the next couple weekends! We're excited to hold our first mixer for new members this month, so be sure to come out next Saturday and get to know us if you're new, and be sure to welcome the newcomers if you're already a regular at Nakayoshi events and activities! For those of you looking for opportunities to plug into the community and get more involved, be sure to get in touch with us and join one of Nakayoshi's committees! Finally, we'll be finishing out the month where we'll don our scariest costumes and man the Haunted Hallway at the JCCCNC/JCYC's annual Halloween Carnival!

Nakayoshi Volunteer Event: JCCCNC/JCYC Halloween Carnival
Games and prizes, tricks and treats, arts and crafts and goodies to eat! Come help out at JCCCNC and JCYC's Halloween Carnival on Friday, October 30th. See all the kids in their cute costumes while helping to provide a fun, safe atmosphere for them to celebrate Halloween!
We will be at the brand-new HAUNTED HALLWAY this year -- so wear your best scary costume! (Save your funny costumes for Saturday, please.) This event takes place the evening before halloween, so it won't interfere with any of your spook-tacular plans.
Date: Friday, Oct. 30th
Location: JCCCNC (1840 Sutter St. | San Francisco)
Time: 5:30-9:30pm
5:30-6:00 -- orientation
6-8:30 -- event
8:30-9:30 -- cleanup
Please plan to be present for all three portions.
**E-mail nakayoshi.ncwnp9[at] gmail.com by 5pm on October 25th with your name, phone number, and e-mail address if you plan on coming so that we can contact you with more specifics!**
