I would like to thank the J-Sei board for giving me this opportunity to work with them and for such a meaningful organization. 
Matthew Fujikawa is the newest member of the J-Sei Board, and he is looking forward to helping continue the mission of the organization and seeking ways to expand and enrich our services. He is a long time member of Sycamore Church, a past participant of the Japanese youth league basketball, and a past player, coach, and club member of the Golden Gate Optimist Club baseball league. Matthew is a life-long resident of the East Bay, except for a few years in Los Angeles for college, and he is eager to give back to the senior community where he has spent most of his life.
