Featured Testimonial

I feel it's critical to be a part of and give back to an organization which promotes the values of community. San Francisco is built on diversity — it's the very ideals of dedication to the community that JCCCNC promotes that makes San Francisco the culturally rich city it is today — every single individual contribution to a community is invaluable.

Other Testimonials

I became a member of JCCCNC for the classes. I use your email newsletter extensively to find out what's going on in the community.

I joined to support your community and Japanese heritage efforts. We also kept an eye out for your ever-growing lists of classes, arts events, crafts, and seminars. We've enjoyed a wide variety of them! Thank you JCCCNC -- great job!

I joined for the discounts on all the classes that you sponsor. I love Jimmy Biala's drumming classes (SambAsia). But also I appreciate all that you do to promote community.

My husband and I became members because we heard about JCCCNC at the Cherry Blossom festival, took a doll class there, and liked it so much that we took a print making class. Thanks for the good experiences.

I joined the JCCCNC both because of discounts on classes and because I support the organization. I was surprised to find out that there were lots of other kinds of discounts that were available to me as a member. I haven't really had a chance to take advantage of all the benefits. I figure I'll get around to it in good time.

My best friend lived in Japan for 6 years. Before that, however, she studied Japanese language and culture in high school and college. When we lived together in college we kept our condo in Japanese style. I visited her in Japan in 1996 when she lived there. Three years ago I moved to San Francisco. I became a member of JCCCNC because I am interested in supporting the Japanese and Asian community in San Francisco, as well as the surrounding Bay area. I think the history of the Japanese people in America, especially California, needs to be remembered. Being a member helps me support this goal and keeps me in the loop about events that are happening.

JCCCNC Member since 2004

The main reason I joined was due to the fact that JCCCNC is doing a very good job in keeping the community informed of the cultural sector of our heritage and the activities are plentiful, as well as enriching to all ages. The little that I contribute is my way of expressing and supporting such a program that I had experienced in my teens while living in Hunters Point after Topaz (relocation camp) and the West Coast was again opened to us - nowhere to relocate, we were placed in Hunters Point and Japantown was the place to go for us. Although I live outside San Francisco, I still feel that I can give a bit to your wonderful programs and planning ahead for things to come!

Our son became a member of JCCCNC in Spring 2000 and attended the Halloween Festival, Christmas shows, and other festivals events organized by JCCCNC (such as The 2000 Kids' Run and fund raising at Yerba Buena Garden). We've received so much support from staff members over the years. Thank you to the JCCCNC staff for their dedication.
