On behalf of OCA-DC, we are pleased to invite you to attend the 38th Annual Awards Gala taking place on December 4th, 2011 at the New Fortune Restaurant. Join us as we celebrate our accomplishments for 2011 and honor three Asian Pacific American leaders for their outstanding services and achievements. The Trailblazer Award will be presented to Kurt Chew-Een Lee, a war hero who led five hundred Marines through a blizzard to save eight thousand more from certain capture during the Korean War and this greatest victory changed the way our country regards Asian Americans. The Leadership Award will be presented to Ted Gong, a member of the 1882 Project Steering Committee for leading the effort in passing the House and Senate resolutions that acknowledge the injustice of the Chinese Exclusion Laws, and reaffirming Congress' commitment to protect the civil rights of all persons regardless of race. Lastly, the Community Service Award will be presented to Edvin Chow of CCACC for his dedication and tireless effort in serving the Chinese community of Montgomery County, Maryland.
The 38th Annual Awards Gala will provide a wonderful forum for you to meet and interact with other leaders in the Asian American community, and network with various APA service related organizations. The event will also include a silent auction for the support of OCA-DC's student scholarship program.
We look forward to seeing you. Please visit our website OCA-DC.org for details and save the date, December 4, 2011!
