Welcome Letter from the Executive Committee:
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 7th annual Chopstix For Charity benefit. Tonight's fundraiser was brought together to raise awareness in and assist non-profit Asian-American programs across Atlanta. Chopstix For Charity has quickly become one of the premier fundraising events benefiting the Atlanta Asian community. Last year's benefit raised over $20,000, of which 100% of charitable contributions raised through corporate sponsorship plus net proceeds were awarded to grant recipients.
The success of Chopstix For Charity is coupled with the generosity and collective efforts of our corporate sponsors, business sponsors, local food and beverage donors, dedicated volunteers, and you - our event supporter.
This year's theme Masquerade in Macau incorporates the mystique of a masquerade ball with the exotic island of Macau, renowned for its spectacular casinos. To ensure a successful event, come mingle with us and enjoy our 'Taste of Asia' buffet, test your luck at one of our gaming tables, participate in our silent and live auctions, and just dance the night away. Make sure you keep your ticket stubs handy and stay on the alert for your chance to win one of our fabulous raffle prizes, including our grand prize, a 20" Panasonic television. Lastly, in honor of our theme tonight, we will be holding a best dressed contest - So, put on your masks and dancing shoes. It's time to party!
We are delighted that you are here celebrating this wondrous event with us tonight and hope that you will have a memorable evening. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Ken Lee, Chopstix For Charity Co-Chair
Amy Lin Halligan, Chopstix For Charity Co-Chair
