Brunch to feature Japanese internment survivor

FALLBROOK – A Japanese internment survivor is to speak at the Grand Tradition on Friday, Aug. 15 as part of the August brunch program presented by the Fallbrook Women’s Connection.

Tom Kobayashi, of Japanese descent, was born in the United States and is a citizen of this country. When WWII broke out, Kobayashi and his family were placed in Japanese internment camps across the country. He will share his story as an internment survivor and as a Hollywood motion picture executive, who found that “True Happiness is not Found in Pursuing Material Possessions, but in Unexpected Places.”

Also featured in this program, will be Don McDougal from the Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens. McDougal will tell how his family’s dream for the estate grew into a reality, through hard work, investment and vision.

The Fallbrook Chorale Ensemble will perform for this event, as well as local pianist Jeanne Dixon.

All men and women in the Fallbrook area are invited to attend this special event that will appeal to the intellect of all ages.

The cost of $20 will include a brunch prepared by the Grand Tradition. Free childcare is available with reservations. To reserve a seat, call (760) 723-3633 or (760) 731-7025, or email [email protected]. This event is sponsored by Stonecroft Ministries.
