The mission of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) is to secure and maintain the civil rights of Americans of Japanese ancestry and all others who are victimized by injustice and bigotry. The primary weapon in this endeavor is a program of education to forward the high purposes of American citizenship and ideals; To promote, encourage, and foster a feeling of good fellowship, friendship and goodwill among all peoples; To promote cultural, educational and social values, and to preserve the heritage and legacy of the Japanese American community. Our co-presidents and directors maintained visibility in the community to carry on our mission to educate the public about the history of the Japanese-Americans and their struggle for civil rights against racism and discrimination. 0 0 In 2003, our local chapter published a book about the local history of the immigrant Japanese and their native-born children titled Japanese Americans of Merced County, A Photographic Journal, 1906 to 1960. This project was partially funded by the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program administered by the California State Library. We keep an inventory of these books to resupply our local Merced County Historical Museum and/or local libraries, to educate the public about the history of the local Japanese-American experience. 0 0 0 Sheryl Okuye Sauter President 1 0 0 0 Patti Kishi Secretary 1 0 0 0 Steve Teranishi Past President/Interim Treasurer 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Steve Teranishi 3144 G St Ste 125-158 Merced CA 95340 2097227815 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 1014 80 724 1408 1099 4325 2368 0 140 20 150 2678 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3382 80 864 1428 1249 7003 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7003 383 395 431 477 503 2189 0 0 0 0 0 0 383 395 431 477 503 2189 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3765 475 1295 1905 1752 9192 0.76186 0.81290 0.23814 0.18710 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Meeting expenses;148|National dues;50|Calif state sales taxes;9^Total;207^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Description;Amount^Unrealized investment losses;-113^Total;-113^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^BBQ trailer;750^Total;750^ Early in 2025, several of our board members, including the Co-President, Secretary, & Treasurer resigned their posts, and other board members had to step in to maintain the small non-profit organization. Because I had been doing the tax returns for many years, I was nominated to be the Interim Treasurer, until a more permanent one could be enlisted. Unfortunately, no one else has stepped up & I have to try to recreate the books, as best I can. Unfortunately, I am self-employed & have my own business to operate, so I'm afraid my volunteer activities have to take a backseat to that and have only recently gained full access to the bank account information.
