Inspired by the unique legacy of a community that welcomed their Japanese American friends and neighbors home after World War II, volunteers will gather for “service and community” by doing landscaping maintenance and making improvements at the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial on Monday, Feb. 19.

Volunteers will work at the memorial from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Everyone is welcome to pitch in and help; please wear appropriate work clothing, gloves and bring your own gardening tools.

The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial is located at Pritchard Park, 4192 Eagle Harbor Drive.
