SUMMARY:July Program with China Society of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:Where are the hairpins that your grandmother and great grandmother used and loved? They might be in our speaker’s virtual museum collection of over a thousand pins. Through the efforts of Cheri Hunter of Textile Museum Associates of Southern California\, we have a summer bonus program. \nOften it takes an enthusiastic collector who takes the next step to do research and then write and publish. During the second half of the twentieth century\, Lilla Perry (snuff bottles)\, Raymond Bushell (neutske)\, and Beverly Jackson (Kingfisher feather\, Chinese slippers\, and rank badges) were enthusiastic collectors who did research\, and wrote books which brought attention to these minor arts and revolutionized the collection of them. \nOur speaker\, Yi Shiuan Wu\, is such an enthusiastic collector. She has and is doing research on hairpins. However\, she is in the digital world of the 21th Century. Instead of writing books and exhibiting in museums\, she has created a virtual museum\, www.hairpinmuseum.org\, to spread knowledge of her love of hairpins. Her program will cover not just hairpins and ornaments\, but how they were used. How they were used has been a real mystery to me over the years. Those shaped like a foot long ruler or like a squat\, flatten archer’s bow have always stumped me. \nOptional no host dinner on Saturday July 16 @6:30 at the Golden Dragon\, then to Jin Hing Co. (412 Bamboo Lane) one block away\, to see a display of hairpins. \nIf you are interested in attending the dinner please e-mail yvonnechang8@gmail.com. If you want to see the exhibit of pins but not attend the dinner\, please also let her know.

SUMMARY:10th Annual Yosemite Sing Peak Pilgrimage 2022
DESCRIPTION:Our first pilgrimage began on August 4\, 2013 with a small group who\, inspired by presentations and research by Yosemite Ranger Yenyen Chan\, organized our first trip to Yosemite National Park.  Led by state park superintendent/environmental educator Jack Shu\, we gathered at Wawona to plan trips to discover the Chinese American heritage of Yosemite and to honor Tie Sing\, the legendary mountain chef whose culinary skills contributed in no small way to the establishment of the National Park Service in 1916. \nSince 2013\, our pilgrimages have led us to many paths of discovery\, and have increased the public awareness of the important role of early Chinese Americans in the mountains.  Chinese workers built long access roads (sometimes in the winter)\, worked in timber operations\, grew food for the hotels and local population\, ran the kitchens in the hotels\, and washed the hotel and restaurant linens.  In later bulletins\, we’ll discuss more of the progress made\, such as the October 2021 ribbon cutting for the Chinese Laundry Building\, in recognizing Chinese Americans in Yosemite. \nThis years pilgrimage will be centered at the Lee Vining Community Center. On Friday morning\, July 29\, we will meet Ranger Yenyen Chan at Tuolumne Meadows Visitor Center for a history walk along an easy trail through Yosemite’s scenic high country and across the Tuolumne River. On Friday afternoon\, choose from one of the following options: Easy: John Muir Trail to Twin Bridges from Dog Lake Parking lot – 1 hour roundtrip; Moderate: Bennettville Trail from across Tioga Lake Overlook parking area – 2.5 hours roundtrip; More strenuous: Hike to the top of Lembert Dome from the Dog Lake Parking lot – 2.5 hours roundtrip. Join us for a campfire gathering hosted by Bak and Karen Jong at Lee Vining Community Center at 5:30pm. \nOn Saturday morning\, July 30\, we will meet at Olmsted Point\, located past Tuolumne Meadows to take in the glacially carved lake\, valleys\, and domes\, and a view of Half Dome and Clouds Rest in the distance. We will leave Olmsted Point and carpool to the May Lake trailhead parking lot for history of the original Tioga Road (aka “The Great Sierra Wagon Road”). Hike to May Lake and back. 3 miles roundtrip\, moderately strenuous. Bring lunch to eat at May Lake. (3.5 hours). At 3:30pm at the Lee Vining Community Center\, illustrator Rich Lo will give a talk about his artwork for the book “Mountain Chef” about Tie Sing and the Mather Mountain Party\, and about his personal journey as a Chinese American artist. At 4:30 PM\, Chef David SooHoo will give a cooking demo and history of Cantonese cuisine cooking. At 5:30 PM\, we will have a potluck\, sharing “Something I learned to cook from someone older than me”\, such as a parent\, older family member or neighbor. \nOn Sunday morning\, we will meet in front of Yosemite Valley Visitor Center for an easy walk led by Ranger Chan and learn about the Chinese who contributed to Yosemite’s early park history in Yosemite Valley. Saturday afternoon\, we will drive to Wawona to visit Yosemite’s Chinese Laundry Exhibit before heading home or out of the park for another evening of accommodations. \nThe hike to Sing Peak will begin on Monday\, August 1 and return on Wednesday\, August 3.
