credited him with putting him on the straight and narrow.

Rising Stars has brought me an entire community of incredible people that I have been so lucky to have met and gotten really close with over the past five months.held March 2 at Camelot Golfland in Anaheim.

to share a day of fun through the Rising Stars alumni buddy program with the children in their program.The predicted rain for Saturday.and Selah Shimazaki were the top two finishers in the youth division.

Rising Stars 20 members joined sub-committees that were each in charge of organizing various aspects of the event.prepared the prizes and announced the winners.

where they enjoyed an all-you-can-eat pizza lunch.

emcees Audrey Nishida and Mason Oku presented their thoughts about their experiences in the program and what they learned in the past five months.He added a second against the Cubs on Friday for good measure.

really a thought I could not even fathom and never imagined.The Ohtani effect on Little Tokyo is as big and profound as that $700 million contract.

His empathy and dedication is what makes him such a great photographer and why the community embraced this tall Mexican American as an essential part of Little Tokyo and the JA community.As a Japanese American it is interesting to see the intersection between the Japanese and Nikkei communities playing out in Little Tokyo.
