Japanese Women’s Society Foundation celebrated 60 years in July, and it continues to raise awareness about and assist Hawaii’s elderly.<\/p>\n

Board member Cathy Iwai has been with the organization for the past five years. Current president is City Councilwoman Ann Kobayashi.<\/p>\n

According to Iwai, Japanese Women’s Society Foundation’s primary purpose is to support community efforts in the field of gerontology, as well as foster appreciation of Japanese cultural traditions.<\/p>\n

The organization hosts programs that focus on the elderly, funds scholarships for students in the fields of social work, nursing and other health-related fields specializing in geriatrics, and awards grants to nonprofit organizations supporting Japanese culture.<\/p>\n

To continue its work to promote Japanese traditions and foster relationships within the community, the foundation invites the public to its first social event,”Wine & Baubles,” Oct. 23 from 5 to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

The event is intended to bring together people from various businesses and communities to learn more about Japanese Women’s Society Foundation.<\/p>\n

“This event is just letting people know about our organization and what we’re about,” says Iwai, who co-chairs it. “People can come do some shopping in October for Christmas.”<\/p>\n

Guests will have the opportunity to sample special wines, enjoy ono pupus and start their holiday shopping while networking and meeting new people.<\/p>\n

Mini Christmas trees created by various business leaders will be on display and offered as door prizes.<\/p>\n

Advanced sommelier and certified wine specialist Charles Fredy will conduct an educational wine tasting featuring 40 fine wines from Chambers & Chambers Wine Merchants, which is now celebrating 41 years in business.<\/p>\n

Tickets cost $50 per person and must be purchased by Oct. 20. For more information, tickets and location, visit JWSF.org<\/a> or email Iwai at cathy.iwai@hawaiiantel.net, or Patty Matsuo at pattymatsuo@gmail.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
