Welcome Letter from the Executive Committee
Dear Event Supporter,
Chopstix for Charity continues its 4th year of raising funds to meet the challenges facing the Asian American community in Atlanta. This collective effort is represented by various organizations headed by the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP)-Atlanta affiliate and Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA)-Georgia Chapter. Chopstix for Charity continues to raise awareness for Asian American programs in Atlanta. We assist non-profit organizations servicing Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Filipino, Taiwanese and Indian communities.
We appreciate the continued support and participation of our sponsors. Furthermore, in light of recent tragic events, this year a portion of the proceeds will go to the American Red Cross. To ensure a successful event try your luck at the casino tables, enjoy the delicious Asian cuisine provided by local restaurants, and join us in a night of fun and festivities. We hope you all enjoy this great charity event!
Thank you,
Ken Lee, 2001 Chopstix for Charity Co-Chair
