The picnic has been a tradition for members since its first inception in the 1930s. “It is now a place for all generations to enjoy a summer afternoon of entertainment, games/races, raffle drawings, and the only all-Okinawan bon dance in Los Angeles,” organizers said.
Call the OAA office at 310-532-1929 for more information. Bon dance practice videos available at oaamensore.org
