It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of the DISKOVERY CENTER at the Little Tokyo Service Center. After 14 great years, due to financial reasons, we close our doors and say goodbye to all of the wonderful programs and staff that helped to make this community center successful and help to change lives. From Japanese and English basic and advance computer classes, senior-based digital media filmmaking and writing courses, to youth-based DIY Media Productions, our students have helped to make the work motivating but also meaningful to all involved.

Please join us in saying a farewell to DISKovery CENTER on May 18th from 12noon-3pm at Diskovery Center. 353 E 1st St Los Angeles, CA 90012 It's a potluck!!

Thank you to everyone who has supported our efforts, our mission and our work throughout the years. We couldn't have done this without you.
