Greetings from President Jeanie Lee
CACS has accomplished many things in 2007.
We’ve donated $1,500 to the Locke Foundation for the restoration and preservation of the Town of Locke. Raised over $15,000 for our very own Cares for Kids Project and Operations Santa Claus, and donated a $1,000 Scholarship to the Asian Pacific Islanders State Employee’s Foundation Scholarship Program and supported many other community programs.

In 2007, CACS celebrated its 20th Anniversary by honoring all our past presidents who have carried out Frank Fat’s mission and commitment to building a stronger Chinese American presence through leadership in advocacy, civic and cultural activities and honored Jerry Chong with the Frank Fat Founders Award..
