Report from Dr. Randall Workman: According to the UOG Endowment Foundation, SEPRS members donated a GRAND

TOTAL of $26,291 in 2017 to advance the mission of the University. Across the full year 2017, members donated $750 to the Emeritus Hall fund, and $10,620 to the SEPRS Scholarship fund for a total of $11,370 for SEPRS projects. Thus, less than half (43%) of what SEPRS members donated went to their part of UOG. Over half, $14,291 was donated to other UOG units, scholarships, and events.

SEPRS concluded its fundraising year by participating in the UOG Endowment Foundation’s “G” is for Giving Campaign, from November 28 to December 31, 2017. The 41 members receiving the BIG G appeal letter donated a total of $6,220.00. This final UOG wide event raised one-fourth (24%) of donations by SEPRS for the entire year. Among donors, half were members living “Off-island,” and half were members “on-island.” Median donation was $200, that is, half donated $200 or less, and half donated $200 or more . Report from Dr. Hiro Kurashina, Vice Chair:

Various ideas for enhancing SEPRS support for the mission of UOG have been always in the minds of the SEPRS members. One such idea is the SEPRS Scholarship Program which was conceived in 2014. The SEPRS Scholarship Committee was created immediately hereafter. The committee was tasked to define and design the SEPRS Scholarship Program. The fundraising for the SEPRS Scholarship was successfully launched with an initial goal of $20,000.00 in collaboration with the UOG Endowment Foundation. In 2017, the initial goal was met, thanks to the generous donations from SEPRS members both on and off-island. The official establishment of the SEPRS Scholarship was announced in December, 2017 to the UOG community as well as the general public. In order for the inaugural SEPRS Scholarship to be given at an Award Ceremony Luncheon to be held in April 2018, the SEPRS Scholarship Committee is in the process of selecting the recipient from the application pool of 36 well qualified and deserving applicants. The number of applications for the SEPRS Scholarship has far exceeded the anticipated number, according to the Director of the UOG Financial Aid Office.

Sally Y. Tsuda, M.S.N. Professor Emeritus of Nursing

SERVICE Continued to serve as an active member of the Hawaii United Okinawa Association (HUOA) and the Okinawan Genealogical Society of Hawaii (OGSH). Two major accomplishments in 2017:

1. The OGSH data base which contains information of Okinawa immigrants to Hawaii from 1921 to 1925 was completed. The information was translated from kanji, a combination of Ryukyu and Japanese characters documented in the 4 books of the Immin Meibo (Immigration) series. The data base serves as one of the basic references in Okinawan genealogy research.

2. The joint project between the Okinawan Prefectural Library (OPL) and the HUOA-OGSH for providing genealogy services to Okinawans in Okinawa, Hawaii and other countries was show-cased at the September 2017 Okinawan Festival in Hawaii. A 4-member OPL team worked along-side the OGSH team to promote genealogy services to the public.

Follow-up cases for approximately 150 families resulted from the Festival with additional requests from Okinawa, Brazil and Peru. OPL was given the Regional Creation Reference Award from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for the work of this joint project. This project has added to the goal of creating an “International Center” at the soon-to-be completed new Okinawa Prefectual Library scheduled for early 2019. The enormity of this project and award reflects the fact that OPL was created in 1910 and serves as a mainstay of Okinawan culture and history.
