Capital Campaign in its Final Stretch

Wing Luke Asian Museum to Honor Executive Director Ron Chew

The Wing Luke Asian Museum announced that following the completion of its $23.2 million Capital Campaign, Executive Director Ron Chew will be leaving the Museum to embark on a new journey and return to his roots in writing. To honor Chew’s more than 17 years as Executive Director, the Museum will be naming the west lightwell in the Museum’s new home, to be opened in May 2008, the Ron Chew West Lightwell and Grand Staircase. Chew will stay on as Executive Director through December 2007 to help ensure the successful completion of the Capital Campaign, the grand opening of the Museum’s new home at the East

(continued on Page 19)

Together with your support, we have raised $21.5 million or 93% of the capital campaign goal!

However, as we approach our final three months of the campaign, every gift counts in order to successfully complete our $900,000 Kresge Foundation Challenge Grant by November 2007. This means that every $3 donated will bring in $1 toward our Kresge award. Please continue to help spread the word to push us to our final goal of $23.2 million!

Artwork to showcase donor names

In addition to the Donor Staircase Art Installation designed by artist Susie Jungune Lee recognizing gifts from $10,000-$99,999, a second art installation proposal submitted by local visual artist Saya Moriyasu has been selected to permanently acknowledge gifts in the $5,000-$9,999 range.

While still early in the design process, Saya’s “Celebration” is a windchime inspired by the inviting and relaxing sounds of water and bells and the lively colors shared by many community festivals. It is meant to evoke a feeling of welcome, warmth and the nostalgia of past celebrations. The work will consist of colorful ceramic balls, ceramic faces and metal, with fans for gently moving the chimes and bells.

According to Saya’s vision, “The artwork tells a story of a collective immigration and celebration of our cultures…the ringing of the bells honors those who enter the building and those who donated to the museum…the balls are life, energy, abundance and harvest. The people are us, our ancestors and our friends.”

We look forward with great anticipation to experiencing this vibrant and graceful art installation in the Welcome Hall of the new Museum.

Please consider how you can help and encourage others to be a part of this once in a lifetime Museum project! Donations can be made online at www.wingluke.org and multi-year pledge forms are also available. For more information, please contact Charlene Mano Shen, Capital Campaign Manager, at (206) 623-5124 ext. 110.

Fall 2007 Newsletter Edited by Joann Natalia AquinoDesign & Layout by Hua Design

As we near the end of our historic capital campaign to build

a permanent home in the Chinatown-International District, I’ve

decided to step down as executive director of the Museum.

Change and renewal are healthy. Seventeen years, I’ve decided, is long enough

to be working at a single institution, especially if the organization has a robust

support base and other talented and effective leaders—and future leaders—already

in its midst.

For me, it’s time to find out what life is like outside the museum walls while I’ve

still got passion for new work-life adventures.

Sadly, there isn’t space here to separately acknowledge the hundreds of

individuals who’ve made my past 17 years at the museum so memorable. The

collective I call the Wing Luke Asian Museum “family”—the staff, volunteers,

board members, activists, students, artists, elders, neighborhood advocates, museum

colleagues, educators and historians—have changed my life forever.

More importantly, the “family” has—through their idealism, hard work and

creativity—helped build and bring to life the community-based institution that

exists today, anchored at the historic East Kong Yick Building, scheduled to open

next year.

I will continue to support the Wing Luke Asian Museum—and its new

leadership team, with Beth Takekawa, our current CEO, rising to the helm as the

new executive director—as they continue to grow the vision of a community-based

museum in its new expanded space. The best is yet to come!

(“RON CHEW” continued from Cover Page)

Kong Yick Building, and a smooth management transition.After more than 10 years with the Wing Luke Asian Museum,

Beth Takekawa, current CEO of the Museum, will transition into the role of Executive Director. As part of the Museum leadership team, she has been instrumental not only in the success of the Capital Campaign, but also the internal operations and program growth. Viewed by her colleagues as a strong and passionate leader, Takekawa will continue the work that has made the Wing Luke a highly recognized and touted institution nationwide.

“After 17 amazing years as Executive Director of an institution such as the Wing Luke Asian Museum, I am so honored to have served this community and plan to stay very involved with the museum,” said Ron Chew, Wing Luke Asian Museum Executive Director. “The outpouring of support for the Capital Campaign has really touched my heart. I was entrusted with the task of leading this effort to build a new museum and now that the completion of the new museum is in sight, it feels right to pass the torch to a new leader for the next phase of this journey. Having worked with Beth for more than 10 years, it feels right to pass the torch to her specifically.”

Being Executive Director of the Museum was more than a job for Chew, it was a labor of love. Under Chew’s leadership, the Museum has been elevated to nationwide prominence and the leadership team viewed as experts in the industry. Additionally, the grassroots Museum became the first Smithsonian-affiliated institution in the Pacific Northwest. The highly ambitious Capital Campaign, which was launched in February of 2003, is nearing completion on the $23.2 million needed to take the Museum to a new level and has been recognized for its success on all fronts.

We extend our deep appreciation to Joy Shigaki, our fearless Capital Campaign Manager for the past three years, who is embarking on a new life adventure in New York City. When Joy entered our campaign, she both energized and organized all of us to achieve beyond our known abilities.

Her palette of community commitment and connections, her strategic vision, as well as her public sector experience and her dogged pursuit of the goals helped make possible our historic and successful campaign. We thank Joy for the legacy she has helped the Museum to achieve, and we look forward to seeing her at the Grand Opening next year!

Please welcome a familiar face, Charlene Mano Shen, who returns to our staff as Capital Campaign Manager, managing the campaign completion. Char was a longtime Museum employee who helped develop the Museum’s education tours and community partnerships programs. While more recently raising her four-year-old son Gabe, she has been a campaign volunteer, leading two key and very successful capital campaign initiatives. We are excited Char has returned to our staff in this new role!

Welcome also to Gerald Busque, our new Accounting Specialist. Gerald is a recent UW graduate majoring in

economics and communications. He is pursuing his Masters degree in accounting at Seattle University. Gerald grew up on the Big Island, Hawaii, and he coordinated the UW’s Hui Hoaloha Ulana Luau. We are pleased to introduce Karen Kajiwara, recently hired as Executive & Trustee Associate, a new staff position that was created to support our new staffing plan. Karen relocated to the Pacific Northwest from Washington D.C., where she was Administrative Manager for the Natural Sciences Collections Alliance, where she managed a national board and operations for a professional association of museums. She was previously a meetings and conferences coordinator and also worked in museum design access. Karen is a native Oregonian and her mother and uncle are volunteers at the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center in Portland.

Thank you to former staffer Tommy Lee for his great accounting work. Tommy is pursuing his career in marketing at a company in Everett while still competing as a b-boy. Best wishes to Tracy Buck, who has been assisting with our upcoming Museum collections move and is now employed at MOHAI.

Congratulations to staff members promoted to new positions as part of the Museum’s Expansion Staffing Plan, preparing for expanded operations in the new facility: Vivian Chan, Cesar Cueva, Michelle Kumata and Liz Shaiken, thank you for stepping up to new challenges and accomplishments!

Thank You and Welcome

SPECIAL EXHIBITIONSJourney to Justice: 223 Years of Asian Pacific American Labor in the Puget Sound Produced by The Evergreen College and Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA) Seattle ChapterOn display September 28 through November 30, 2007 Gallery of Contemporary Arts & Issues

A project that began in 1999 after receiving a grant from King County’s Cultural Development Authority, APALA’s goal was to counter the stereotype about Asian Americans as passive immigrants who have never played any role in the U.S. labor movement. Through photographs and interviews of Asian American labor activists, this poignant exhibit tells the rich story of Asian resistance to economic exploitation and racism.

Founded in 1992, APALA, AFL-CIO, is the first and only national organization of Asian Pacific American union members. It organizes and works with Asian Pacific American workers, many of them immigrants, to build the labor movement and address exploitative conditions in the garment, electronics, hotel and restaurant, food processing, and health care industries.

TeensWAY, an art-based program that engages youths in Asian Pacific American history and culture, is gearing up for its fourth year at the Wing Luke Asian Museum. This year’s program will reflect the transitions of the Museum’s move to the East Kong Yick building. Local Asian and Pacific Islander American artists will work with local youths to create visual pieces that reflect the identity, legacy and community history of their neighborhoods. The youths’ art will premier in May 2008 at the Frank Fujii Youth Space in the new museum.

We are currently recruiting youths, ages 12-16 to be a part of this art-based community program. In addition to the art projects, the program also engages the youth in leadership development and community building. Application deadlines are due by October 31, 2007. For more information, please contact Ammara Hun, TeensWAY program coordinator, at (206) 623-5124 ext. 116 or at ahun@wingluke.org

TeensWAY Cookbook Project Update: The recipe cards will be completed and available for purchase in September. All proceeds will benefit the TeensWAY youth program. All recipes

were supported and taught by local community members. To purchase the recipe cards, please contact (206) 623-5124 ext. 116.

Museum Adds Takano Negatives to its Collection

The Wing Luke Asian Museum Community Heritage Center recently was given the negative collection of the former Takano Studio.

Consisting of primarily 8”x10” negatives, the subjects of the photographs are people and events of the Seattle Japanese American community in the 1920s and 1930s. Included are sporting events, weddings, families, churches and farms. The collection was saved by Henry and Yuki Miyake, and then kept and shared by Sadie and Frank Yamasaki and the Betsuin Archives.

The negatives, many of nitrate film, will be cleaned, prepared for storage and then scanned to preserve the image and make them accessible to the community and Museum patrons.

This collection coincides wonderfully with the Nippon Kan Heritage Association collection recently received from Ryo Tsai. Ryo Tsai and members of the Nippon Kan Heritage

Association collected originals and copies of photographs of the early Japanese American community of Seattle in 1985 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Nippon Kan Theatre. The fruits of this effort was the exhibit “The Way It Was: Northwest Issei and Nisei Before 1942.” Information regarding the creation of this exhibit and its contents will be available in the Community Heritage

Center, in addition to Mrs. Tsai’s personal library.

Recently the Wing Luke Asian Museum also received a selection of leather hand stitched gloves from the Jerauld Manufacturing Company of Seattle. According to the donor, her aunt ran the company prior to and during World War II and employed a number of Japanese American women to sew the gloves. With internment, the manufacturing continued for a while at Minidoka. Does anyone have information to confirm this story? We would like to know more about the women who sewed the gloves and if they continued to work at the camp.

For more information about Community Heritage Center and our collections, please contact Bob Fisher, Collections Manager, at (206) 623-5124 ext. 117 or email bfisher@wingluke.org.

Sincere Thanks to Our Generous Donors & Members

New Ways To SupportWing Luke Asian Museum

Ammara Hun: Empowering Youth with Knowledge

Ammara began as an intern at the Wing Luke Asian Museum in the summer of 2003 after finishing her first year at the University of Washington. She was assigned to help with the youth program, KidsPLACE, and was later hired to be the youth program coordinator in 2004. The youth program, now named TeensWAY, fulfills one of Ammara’s passions: teaching youth about Asian Pacific American history and contemporary issues through art-based projects and community service.

Through college courses, involvement in local Cambodian American organizations and the Wing Luke Asian Museum, Ammara has begun to more fully comprehend and appreciate her own family history and of her mother’s ordeals as a refugee from Cambodia. As a child, Ammara witnessed her mother’s post-traumatic stress, but also heard stories of her mother’s life in Cambodia before the Khmer Rouge regime. Not until her high school years did Ammara begin to piece together her Cambodian (or Khmer American) heritage, by doing her own reading and research to understand why and how her mother and other Cambodian Americans found a new life in America.

A recent graduate and now working

full-time at the Museum, Ammara chose to donate $1,000 to the new museum because it will offer a larger space to continue to educate and preserve not only the history and culture of Khmer Americans, but of other Asian Pacific American ethnic groups as well.

“There is no other place where I can share and learn about my history as a Khmer American. I want to see the museum grow with its new space, programs and exhibits, especially when there are still many histories and narratives to uncover,” said Ammara. “The new space will also provide a place for other underrepresented groups to share their history and culture, and be a permanent and prominent place for future generations to learn about the past, and use that knowledge to deal with the present.”

Molina Kaur and Jasmit Singh Kochhar: A Community Place that Welcomes Dialogue

Molina was born and raised in Seattle, but her father immigrated here in the 1960s as part of the wave of South Asian professionals who came to pursue their American Dream. But on September 11, 2001, Sikhs all over North America suddenly became targets of misplaced hate because of their turbans and unshorn

hair and beards. It was then when Jasmit, Molina’s husband, became involved with the Sikh Coalition, an organization that aims to educate the state and federal authorities, as well as the general public, about Sikh Americans.

Molina and Jasmit became the link between the Wing Luke Asian Museum and the Sikh American community, mobilizing other members of the Sikh American community and their friends and family members to work with the Museum on the various projects that were to follow over the past 6 years. These projects included a candlelight remembrance of Vincent Chin and Balbir Singh Sodhi (the first Sikh American post 9/11 to be killed in a hate crime); a traveling art exhibition created by Sikh American youth; and an exhibition and programming that documented the 100 year history of Sikh Americans in the Pacific Northwest.

“The Wing Luke Asian Museum helped us raise awareness, educate and honor those who had fallen to hate,” Molina noted. “The connection that we made with the Museum and its staff will last our lifetime.”

Because Molina and Jasmit believe in the vision of the Museum, they have given a generous gift and have agreed to work on various projects that support the capital campaign.

“To us, the Wing Luke Asian Museum represents the ideal of the Sikh principle of ‘Sarbat Da Bhala’ which means “take a stand in the world for the good of all people,” reflected Molina and Jasmit. “Our hope is that it continues to give voice to communities that do not have the resources and creates a warm place to welcome dialogue for construction of a more understanding and respecting world.”

Nhien Nguyen and Richard Cranor: A Central Hub for Community

Nhien’s journey has taken her from Vietnam to Guam, Camp Pendleton to Spokane, and finally to Portland where she was raised. But she calls the Wing Luke Asian Museum her second home.

Nhien’s involvement with the Museum began in 1999 when she was hired as a grants writer and development associate. She was also trained as a docent and loved working with the kids and youth. Nhien also had a hand in exhibit and program development as well as helping to re-start the annual art auction. Even though she is now editor of the International Examiner, Nhien feels that the Museum connected her to the Asian Pacific American community and immersed her in the culture of the Chinatown/International District neighborhood, providing a great foundation for her current job.

Though not Asian, Nhien’s partner, Rich, became interested in issues related to the Asian Pacific American community when he had the opportunity to do a script reading focused on Japanese American veterans and after making two films on the Asian American experience. When Nhien asked him about making a stretch gift for the new museum, he immediately agreed.

“As a Vietnamese American, I think it’s important to have a dedicated significant space that includes the experience of Southeast Asians and also newer

immigrants. As the flow of immigrants from Asia continues, it is important to reflect the pan-Asian experience fully and completely,” said Nhien. “The Museum’s mission serves to educate and involve not only Asian Pacific Americans but also the wider public. I think the Museum has the potential to be a place that binds the community together-- a central hub for community, friendship, culture and support.”

Christina Rockrise: A Place of Personal Discovery

Christina was delighted to discover the Wing Luke Asian Museum when she moved to Seattle in 1983, a museum that would link her personally to her own family heritage.

Arriving at the turn of the 20th century, Christina’s paternal grandfather had come from Japan, spending a few years in India and finally settling in New York. He adopted the surname Rockrise, which was a translation of his first name, became an architect and married a woman of English descent.

Christina’s father also married a European American woman. Since her mother passed away when Christina was only 6 years old, she identified most with her Japanese ancestry. Not growing up within the Asian American community, she noted that the Wing Luke Asian Museum has been a valuable source of information and connection for her and a window into

the larger world of Asian Americans.Christina and her husband, David

Brown, have been Museum members for years and with great excitement have been following the development of the expanded space. Wanting to be a part of the new museum, she is working on the Museum Marketplace, the new museum store, to make this a wonderful element to the Wing Luke Asian Museum experience.

Christina’s gift has enabled her to “honor my grandfather, Iwahiko Tsumanuma, a remarkable man who I was never able to know except through my father’s stories.”

“The Wing Luke provides a place of pride and identity for so many Asian Pacific Americans young and old, and brings new awareness to those not Asian Pacific Americans,” said Christina. “Not only will the new space be able to tell our story in many exciting and varied ways, but it is also a new cornerstone that will bring attention to the International District in such positive ways. I am proud to be part of the effort.” Ann Fujii Lindwall: A Museum Supported by Family and Life-Long Friends

Ann Fujii Lindwall’s “career” within Seattle’s Asian Pacific American community began when she was a volunteer writer for the Asian Family Affair and the International Examiner. Since Ron Chew was the editor of the International

With husband Alan Lindwall.

Examiner for many years, it was natural that she would support him and his vision when he moved to the Wing Luke Asian Museum as its executive director.

Ann’s father, Frank Fujii, had also been involved with the Asian Pacific American community as a teacher, coach, artist and volunteer over the years. When the idea came up to honor her father with a naming opportunity in the new expanded museum, Ann and her family were generously supported by the many life-long friends and community members they have had over the years.

“I believe the foundation for my support of the museum stems from the relationship between the Fujii and Chew family on many different levels. I have personally known Ron for about 30 years,” said Ann. “I introduced Ron to my father, who was then working at Seattle Central Community College, and who later befriended both of Ron’s parents.”

“I look forward to the opening of the new museum and the dedication of the space named for my father. I am glad both my parents set such a good example of being committed community leaders,” said Ann. “I know that my community involvement will be the legacy I leave to the Museum and the great people that support it.”

Bob and Carol Givens: Remembering Wing Luke’s Legacy

Bob and Carol have been regulars around the Wing Luke Asian Museum for many years. In 1992, after retiring from a 37-year career at The Boeing Company, Bob became a Museum volunteer, coming in on Tuesdays for his shift with fellow volunteer, Ed Suguro. Over the years, Bob and Carol could be seen at many of the opening receptions, educational programs and the annual dinner and auction, supporting the Museum in many capacities. More recently, Bob was asked to be on the Inside the Vision Team, a capital campaign committee that hosted several receptions for current and former volunteers to raise money for the new museum.

“I am adopted by a Chinese family. I love them and they love Carol and me. Seeing them as immigrants making a new home in the United States made me reflect on the story of new Americans,” Bob noted. “As a young boy growing up in the South and realizing the restrictions placed on people of color, I didn’t want others to have to go through that same experience. It was timely that a former board member, Cynthia Rekdal, referred me to the Museum shortly after I retired.”

“I also remember how Wing Luke was attacked when he ran for public office and how difficult it was back then when people were so divided. I admired him for having the guts to stand up to the system, and then for him to win,” he added. “At that time, Seattle was a city that practiced

closed housing. Wing Luke was the person that attempted to change that situation and behold, he did.”

When asked for a personal gift, Bob and Carol talked about how much they could give and decided together on a $5,000 gift, plus an additional 50 percent match from Boeing that Bob was able to obtain.

“We hope the enthusiasm, dedication, hard work and love will forever be remembered by those who will have the opportunity and pleasure to visit the Wing Luke Asian Museum at the new larger building.”
