A special thank you to our esteemed guests, Mayor Pro Tem Dante Anderson and Councilwoman LaWana Mayfield, for spending the evening with us and helping honor our community leaders.
To our honorees—Lena Chun (on behalf of Dr. Ki-Hyun Chun), Dr. Nini Bautista, Dr. John Chen, and Pauline Chan—your dedication laid a strong foundation for CAACC. We also extend our gratitude to the Asian ethnic community organizations in attendance, whose tireless work is truly commendable.
