Haisai, David! It would be fun to meet up with you as our OAA will be
in Okinawa for the "Uchinanchu Taikai" for some time both before and
after the festival. I am not 100% sure of going..but planning as of now!!!
Hokubei Okinawa Kenjinkai began in 1909 and the earliest Okinawan
immigrants came to the L.A. area in 1906 as survivors of the San Francisco
earthquake. _Okinawa Association of America History_
(http://www.oaamensore.org/about_us/about_history.htm)
Here's the website: _Okinawa Association of America_
(http://www.oaamensore.org/) and a list of 'kenjinkai' all over the world: _The Overseas
Network_ (http://www.pref.okinawa.jp/ied/html/english/html/overseas/kenjinkai.html)
I am happily active in the OAA...in the senior citizen's group
("Kajimaya"), history committee, and all of the social events.
MENSORE!!
