The April Nisei Lunch featured an early Easter meal of ham, oven roasted sweet potatoes, green beans, rice, green salad and dessert. Thanks to Shiz Kaku and Mary Ann Yamaguchi for taking over much of the meal preparation duties in Jim Shinbo’s absence.
As most of our regular Nisei Lunch guests are aware, Jim has been the chef for the lunch program and is recovering from some health issues. Jim is well on his way to recovery and is faithfully doing his rehab work and is feeling much stronger. We are looking forward to the day that Jim is well enough to resume his duties in the kitchen.
The Nisei Lunch acknowledged five individuals who celebrated birthdays in the month of April. Those receiving a token birthday gift were Nancy Fujimoto, Jim Shinbo, AC Arai, Liz Olschefski, and Toshi Hayashi. Toshi will celebrate her 100th birthday this month! Toshi has been a regular guest for many years, and she looks fantastic!
At next month’s lunch we will honor NVC and NVC Foundation Scholarship recipients for 2025. These outstanding young students represent the best and the brightest in our community, and it is a privilege to host them and their families to our lunch program.
