DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 19\, 2005\, San Mateo JACL will commemor
 ate Day of Remembrance and install its officers for the 2005 year. The pro
 gram will be held at the San Mateo County History Museum in Redwood City. 
 Tickets to the event will be $20 and include the program\, a boxed lunch (
 obento)\, and admission to the museum’s exhibits.\n\nThe keynote speaker
  for this year is <strong>historian Michael Svanevik</strong>\, professor 
 at College of San Mateo and published author\, along with Shirley Burgett\
 , of nearly a dozen books of local history. Svanevik is an engaging presen
 ter and San Mateo JACL is delighted that he will be joining us this year t
 o tell us more about the history of Japanese Americans in San Mateo County
  and to offer his perspectives on Japanese Americans’ lived experiences 
 and contributions to the community. The title of the keynote address is 
 “Between Two Worlds.” Our membership should find the remarks insightfu
 l\, as JACL negotiates its identity as a civil rights organization or one 
 that preserves cultural roots to create a living history.\n\nWe will also 
 be honoring as a Living Treasure the Asian American Curriculum Project\, u
 nder the direction of Florence M. Hongo\, President of the Board and Gener
 al Manager. San Mateo JACL has honored individuals in the past but has ren
 amed the recognition in tribute to the highest award that can be achieved 
 in the Japanese arts. In Japan\, Living Treasures are remarkable people wh
 o quietly keep the country's most precious creative traditions alive. It i
 s in this spirit that San Mateo JACL recognizes AACP as a Living Treasure 
 for its 35 years of service to San Mateo and the greater community.\n\n
