The last two months have been busy for our board of directors with CACS Annual Membership Dinner held on March 23rd at King’s Restaurant in West Sacramento. Eighty (80) of our members enjoyed a delicious meal and watched a wonderful slide presentation highlighting CACS events and support of the API community events over the last two years. I want to personally thank Charlie Moy, our historian and newsletter chair for putting together the slide show for all our members. In addition, we had an overwhelming response to our Annual Dinner Author Lecture on April 6th featuring Lisa See, author of “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan” and “On Gold Mountain”. Over 280 people attended this event and I want to especially thank our Historical Chairs, Dr. Douglas Yee and his wife Karun Yee for making this such a successful event.

Our Special Project Chairs, Dr. Wesley Yee and Rick Wong are planning a special trip sometime in the later part of June or early July for our members – stay tune for more to come!

Other Events that CACS will be sponsoring are the Pacific Rim Street Fest on Sunday, May 21st – look for our booth! On Saturday, June 3rd CACS will have a booth to celebrate California’s Cultural Diversity Day at the Sacramento Zoo. This day features entertainment, music, dance and information from the rich cultural diversity that defines California. Your support and commitment to the API Community is important to us. Please join us!
