Music of Summer Sunday! • Today
Today, we’ll kick off the season of Summer with music from the Blaine Memorial Choir, Blaine Ukulele Group of Seattle (B.U.G.S.), and special music with soloists. This will be the last day where the Blaine Memorial Choir will perform before taking a summer break!
Puyallup Valley JACL at Blaine Memorial • Today
The Puyallup Valley JACL will be at Blaine Memorial UMC with their remembrance gallery of names next Sunday, June 25. This is a name wall that honors and remembers each family who was assembled at the Camp Harmony Assembly Center in Puyallup, WA in 1942. The wall of names will be displayed in the Social Hall. Please come to see your family name. They are researching to ensure that all names are spelled correctly.
The Puyallup Valley Chapter of the JACL seeks support and endorsement of its effort to build the “Puyallup Assembly Center” Remembrance Gallery on the Washington State Fair (WSF) located in Puyallup, Wash. It will be located inside the iconic grandstands, where up to 1 million annual visitors will pass.
This project works…
- To honor the over 7,600 Japanese and Japanese Americans who were unjustly removed from their homes and imprisoned on the Puyallup fairground during WWII.
- To highlight the social injustices of this wartime experience and make comparisons to those being denied justice today to ensure this part of history is never repeated.
