Dear
friends,
The
Asia-Northwest Cultural Education Association is moving
forward with many new and exciting projects that will
continue our mission to promote Asian culture and understanding
through the use of Japanese Animation.
PROJECT
OUTLINES 2003 - 04
Tacoma
Library

Julie Lynch-Allen/Jeff Allen
Need Volunteers
Still in the planning stages; tentatively a weekend
series of cultural
events celebrating Asian culture. ANCEA has been approached
to help provide
volunteers to talk about anime, manga and games; people
who can draw or make
origami; etc. We have discussed everything from kite
making to tea
ceremonies, to kendo demonstrations in the parking lot.
This is still in
process; more information as it becomes available. I
would really like a lot
of people to get involved; it sounds kind of fun. Contact
person: Julie-Lynch-Allen
Senior Projects Project
Spring 2004
Christopher MB Louck
Need Volunteers
Graduation requirements are changing, and one of the
changes is the Senior
Project. Seniors are required to job shadow folks and
volunteer to do
amazing things. In keeping with our education mission,
Chris has talked to
people in the Puyallup school district about the possibility
of kids working
with Sakura-Con/ANCEA people to help put on a convention.
And, guess what?
Teachers think this is a great idea!! Chris
is the contact person here. More
information as it becomes available.

PAST PROJECTS
High School Day
April 23 2004
Need Volunteers
As part of the education mission we are looking into the possibility of
having a Friday High School Day at the con. Students will be brought in with
their supervisors, offered a special admission price, given a cycle of 4
things to do, and be given guided tours through the cycle. Friday is a small
attendance day, especially from 9:30 to 1:30. We are envisioning a separate
entrance, separate badges that would give them a discount when they come
back later Friday night or Saturday, and a specially designed schedule that
would answer to our education needs as well as theirs. Contact person?
Currently we don't have one. Julie, Wally, Max, Chris, are among the
creative minds wrestling with this one. Want to help? Email the staff
mailing list. One of us will get it.
