• Mochitsuki is a significant social event often taking place in December leading up to the New Year. It is a way for the community to come together work and celebrate the traditions of our heritage. Eating mochi is associated with gaining strength and good fortune for the coming year. In 2024 over 225 people attended the event and participated in the rhythmic pounding and shaping of the mochi. The process involves soaking and steaming sweet rice pounding it in a large mortar with a wooden mallet and then forming it into small cakes often for New Years celebrations.

• Every summer the JACL DC Chapter holds its annual picnic to build community cohesion and increase education regarding civil rights. Members and non-members are invited to attend and encouraged to bring a pot-luck dish to share with others. Chapter board members serve as grill masters and serve teriyaki chicken hot dogs and hamburgers. Games relays and other activities are included. At this event over 150 people attended.

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
