JodoMissionofHawaii 1429MakikiSt. HonoluluHI96814 AddressServiceRequested JodoMissionofHawaii Bulletin-OCTOBER2015 (#1227-10145 Bazaar Bazaar will be held on Sunday, October 18, 2015 (8:00am –1:00pm) Bazaar preparation: Your help is needed on Sunday, October 11 at 11:00 a.m. to bring out all the stored Bazaar items to the Social Hall.

- 2. Social Media Communication Have you heard your chil- dren or grandchildren talk about Facebook, Insta- gram, Twitter and Vine, Snapchat, etc. These are forms of social media which are computer gener- ated and a form of internet communication. Did you ever wonder what is this new way of communicating? If so, please come to hear our guest speakers on Sunday, October 25, 2015 at 10 a.m. The guest speakers are Ryan Ozawa, Burt Lum and Ian Kitajima. They will try to explain the various forms of social media communication and maybe you will be able to better communicate with your children or grandchildren or great grand- children. For example, if you are unable to go to an event, i.e. a soccer game or baseball game that your grandchild is playing, you might be able to see the game if someone is taking pictures or videotaping it. So instantly you are also seeing the game. Also, even if there are no photos taken, someone may still communicate what was happening through their cell phone. Cell phones are also a form of social media communication as the person calling does not have to go to a land phone to call you but could instantly contact you. There are so many types of cell phones, smart phones, which have cameras, internet access, etc. They may be able to describe the various choices available. Ryan and Burt have their own radio program each week and are on Hawaii News Now each week and are called “the Geeks”. For parents, you may want to know how do I keep up with the latest social apps and sites teens are using? At what age should my children be for me to allow them to use Face- book and Instagram. Twitter and Vine, and Snapchat, and other social medias? What are the basics my child needs to know about social media? If you have questions, please write them down and bring them with you on October 25. After their talk and also during their talk, there would be a question and answer session. So please join us on Sunday, October 25, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Keiro Seniors with Sunday School Students on September 13, 2015. Junior and Intermediate YBA and Sunday School treated every- one to a delicious Ha- waiian food luncheon. Page 2 Table Decorations
- 3. On August 23, 2015, Rose Nakamura, Project Administrator for Project Dana was our guest speaker who spoke about the many services offered by the Project Dana volunteers.. She did stress about having volunteers from our temple to assist our temple members. Are you willing to be a volunteer for Project Dana? Project Dana trains all volunteers. Some of the services this program offers are listed on the flyer on the right, i.e. home visits, telephone visits, family caregivers support, home safety assessments, transportation for medical appointments, grocery shop- ping, religious services. If you did not attend this talk on Project Dana and are interested, please check the Jodo Mission office and there are extra materials that were left. Also attending the Project Dana session as a guest of Rose Nakamura, was Jan Nakamura of Hakalau Jodo Mission who sometimes lives in Honolulu because of family. Jan Nakamura talked about how at Hakalau Jodo Mission a former restaurant owner (Miyo’s Restaurant) and her friend cook for the seniors who gather each week at Hakalau Jodo Mission. Pro- ject Dana assists the elderly to come to Hakalau Jodo Mission. The seniors who are homebound look forward to going to Hakalau to socialize and to meet others and also for Miyo’s home cooking. There is a woman by the name of Akiko who is the outreach person at Hakalau Jodo Mission who arranges the various groups. This is such a wonderful program! Do you have any comments? We would love to hear from you. Thank you. Page 3

The oldest woman Yoshiko Kitagawa (96) and oldest man Teruto Soma (88) were given leis. Others honored were Akiko Nishiyama, Doris Soma, Tomoko Hisamoto, Joyce Yoshikawa, Peggy Miyamoto and Clifford Miyamoto. Naginata Japanese Martial Art On Sunday, August 30, 2015, we were fortunate to have Hanae Miura Sensei as our guest speaker at our Sunday Service. Miura Sensei teaches Naginata every Saturday afternoon at Jodo Mission. Also assisting with the English was Ken Sato. At this service, they explained the origin of Naginata. In the early days of 1603, women used Naginata as self- defensive arms with beautiful gold lac- quered handles. Miura Sensei and Ken Sato left some informational materials. If you are inter- ested, please check with the Jodo Mission office. We are working on a demonstration session the next time so you can visually see Naginata in action. Please look for- ward to a future time. Two ladies in their nineties: Mrs. Yoshiko Kitagawa (96) and Mrs. Joyce Yoshikawa (93) are regularly seen at Sun- day Services. Left: Each Keiro received a box of chocolates with an impressive cover!

The sound of the taiko drums cannot be felt by photos. You must come next year to hear the taiko drums. Above photo shows the big drums which need lots of muscles to beat to the rhythm. The taiko drums played by children (photo at right) need their tiny muscles as they play to the beat as the Sensei leads them. People watched with umbrellas as the taiko group played on Friday night in the rain. We really appreciate the taiko group playing each even- ing to begin our Bon Dance! What a wonderful way to begin our Bon Dance!
