#ThrowBackThursday #TBT As we approach the end of 2019, we'll be sharing OAA Center highlights every week. June 2019 – Over 70 members gathered for our annual Kajimayaa Seniors Club Luncheon including one centenarian! We were very fortunate that four students from West Torrance High School’s Interact Club volunteered their time and service (not OAA-related, but they even helped somebody find their lost dog). #okinawaassociationofamerica #kenjinkai #okinawa #okinawakenjinkai #uchinanchu #uchinaanchu #uchinaa #うちな #Ryukyu #沖縄 #nonprofit #ウチナーンチュ #うちなーんちゅ #県人会 #創立110周年 #oaa110th #oaa110anniversary

#ThrowBackThursday #TBT As we approach the end of 2019, we'll be sharing OAA Center highlights every week. April 2019 – The Higashi Building was almost completely full during our rummage collection drive. A small group of volunteers loaded a 17-foot truck with lightly used (and unused-but-unwanted) clothing, shoes, bags, kitchenware, etc. that were generously donated by OAA members and friends. The U-Haul truck (plus three or four additional cars) then trekked to Savers in Lomita, where an even smaller group of volunteers helped to unload the donations. Thanks to everybody's help, we made $1,292.56! Ippee nifee deebiru (thank you very much) to everybody who brought in their items and especially to the volunteers who helped sift through the donations during the weekdays and loaded/unloaded the truck and cars on the final day. #okinawaassociationofamerica #kenjinkai #okinawa #okinawakenjinkai #uchinanchu #uchinaanchu #uchinaa #うちな #Ryukyu #沖縄 #nonprofit #ウチナーンチュ #うちなーんちゅ #県人会 #創立110周年 #oaa110th #oaa110anniversary
