A Message from our Executive Director:

We can't believe we’re approaching the holiday season and end of the year! With upcoming gatherings and more contact with many people, please continue to be mindful of COVID-19 safe and best practices. If you have any symptoms of illness, even if it may be a common cold, please be considerate and protect others by being cautious and staying home if need be.

Some classes have now reopened at the GVJCI in smaller capacities. It’s been so heartwarming to see GVJCI’s halls and classrooms partially filled with smiling (masked) faces once again! Please refer to the TNK Corner to see what classes started. Some of GVJCI Member Organizations resumed their weeknights/weekend classes too, so please check with those organizations for information. GVJCI and the GVJCI Member Organizations are following the LA County Department of Public Health’s guidelines carefully and are proceeding with safety procedures for everyone's continued safety. We thank all of the organizations, teachers, and participants for their continued care in this matter.

To all of you, thank you again for your continued support of the GVJCI. Stay safe and well!

With kansha,
Alison Kochiyama
Executive Director
