Dear WCCA members and friends,

As you may know, southwest China was hit by a powerful Earthquake (May 12) which caused more than 40,000 death as of May 20, 2008 and tens of thousands more missing including many school students. (Please check cnn.com for details.) Millions of people's lives were adversely affected by the quake. They need help.

I know some of our members have taken actions to help those people in the epicenter while most of us are still trying to figure out how to help. After consulting our board members, I have directed our treasurer Anna Ho to use our non-profit status to accept donations from our members and their friends. We will transfer all donations to the Chinese or America Red Cross with a single check. You donations will be tax deductible and the full amount will go to the epicenter.

Anna and I will be in the cafeteria area on Saturday, May 31. Please stop by and show your support. Or you can bring your check to our year-end picnic and all parent meeting on the same day after class at Huntington Beach. You can also send your donations to our mailing address at the bottom if you can’t come to our school or picnic.

Please check with your company to see if they match your donation.

Thank you very much.
