On March 14, 2009, Discover Nikkei invited attendees of the Target Free Family Saturday "Say Cheese!" event at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles to participate in a special activity.
Participants were invited to help create a Discover Nikkei Community Collage by sharing a picture, text, or item and then posting them up themselves. Our own real-time board/wall to share something with our community.
The majority of the participants were young children who enjoyed the opportunity to draw and add their creations to the collage. Their drawings included flowers, pets, Pokemon characters, and pictures they drew of family members. For the adults, we asked them to share their ideas about community. Here are just a small sampling of the fantastic contributions that were posted.
