Renown storyteller ALTON TAKIYAMA-CHUNG will help us bring in the New Year with a special Shinnen Enkai once-in-a-lifetime performance highlighting the Japanese American story on Saturday, January 18, 2020 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at the Clubhouse (100th Infantry Battalion Veterans, Education Center). This event is suitable for all ages and is open to the public. Alton will perform selections from three of his popular pieces:
1. A yet unnamed story about early life of our ancestors on the plantations of Hawaii;
2. “Heroes” which tells the story of two brothers from Hawaii who join the 100th and 442nd to fight in Europe during WWII where they learn about courage and honor, how to be a part of a team, and the reality of war.
3. “Spark Matsunaga: Warrior Poet” which is a docudrama about Hawaii’s beloved son and 100th veteran, the late Senator SPARK MASAYUKI MATSUNAGA
