Greetings from President Jeanie Lee
With the support of our sponsors, our members and our community, CACS enjoyed another successful year in 2008. Most notable is the completion of our first ever recorded history and lives of the Chinese immigrants in Sacramento during the Gold Rush days in our book—Canton Footprint authored by Philip Choy. It debuted in early 2008, and has been enjoying a phenomenal success in its sales.
CACS continued to donate school supplies and sports equipment to schools in low-income districts in the Sacramento area. CACS is also proud to have sponsored 135 low income families during the 2008 holidays by providing them with a holiday meal certificate and gifts for the children.
The success of our programs was due largely to our community support, the help of many, many volunteers and our hard working board members. I would like to publicly acknowledged them for their continue support and service.

Canton Footprints Wins Award
In March 2009, CACS's Canton Footpints book was awarded the prestigious Sacramento County Historical Society
"Publication Award 2008"
|
The community's response has been overwhelming and positive. CACS has sold almost 1500 copies of Canton Footprints during the first 3 months after it was released.
Our book has been purchased by the Sacramento Public Library, Colleges and Universities, museums, and historical societies, in California and other states. We filled orders from individuals and companies from other states as well as most of California . Many of our customers are people who used to live in Sacramento or, know someone who did. Others are interested in the history of the region. All feel Canton Footprint is an interesting and accurate account of the Chinese history in Sacramento .
CACS would like to thank the Sacramento community for the outstanding support of this first historic account of the Chinese in Sacramento .
