An Extra Helping of Gratitude

Seniors from Tokyo Towers feast on turkey in the Garden Room of the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center on Wednesday. Twelve turkeys were donated by Councilmember Jose Huizar and prepared by Don Tahara of Sake Dojo Restaurant. The annual Thanksgiving turkey luncheon is organized by Little Tokyo Senior Nutrition Lunch Services (Koreisha Chushoku Kai).
