November 10, 2021November 10, 2021 JANM Volunteers Leave a comment

Shop Now – during the last few days of Virtual Kokoro2021! Your purchases help JANM create current programming such as the inspiring stories of Stanley Hayami, A Life in Pieces, and Mine Okubo, Masterpiece. Remember to indicate “Kokoro2021” on your orders!

We volunteers are motivated by the museum’s mission “to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Japanese American experience.” You can find us volunteering as tour facilitators, librarians, store clerks, envelope stuffers and serving on the Kokoro2021 Committee!

Thanks to Kokoro Shoppers for their feedback!

Shoppers can begin viewing vendor’s products from November 1st for two weeks at our new website, www.kokorocraftshow.com. During this special shopping period, shoppers buy products from the vendor directly and write “Kokoro2021” on their orders. Kokoro2021 proceeds benefit JANM’s educational and cultural programs.
