On Oct. 14, 2015, Elsie Taniguchi, Cho Shimizu, and Eileen Yamada Lamphere presented a PowerPoint program about the Puyallup Assembly Center, aka Camp Harmony. This presentation was a joint effort by the Puyallup First Christian Church, Puyallup United Methodist Church, and Whitney Memorial Methodist Church, all in Puyallup, Wash. From April to September 1942, Elsie and Cho lived on the Puyallup fairgrounds before moving to Minidoka, Idaho, for internment.

Elsie is the president of the Puyallup Valley Chapter of the JACL, Eileen is the vice president, and Cho is a chapter member. (end)
