49th Anniversary Celebration

Join Us for the 49th Anniversary Celebration
Passing the Torch – Remembering Our History; Reimagining the Future.

The Association of Chinese Americans, Inc. (ACA) is proud to announce the organization’s 49^th Anniversary Celebration to be held virtually on Zoom:

1. Friday, December 10, 4pm – 11:59pm EST: “Far East Deep South” Film Screening
2. Saturday, December 11, 2pm – 4pm EST: Celebration Gala

The Anniversary Celebration is ACA’s signature annual gathering to celebrate the year’s accomplishments and refuel for future success. This year’s event is also the kick-off of the organization’s 50^th anniversary in 2022, which is themed “Passing the Torch – Remembering Our History; Reimagining the Future.”

WHAT MAKES THIS GALA CELEBRATION TRULY SPECIAL?

To begin the celebration, ACA will be screening the documentary Far East Deep South on Friday, December 10 from 4 pm to 11:59 pm, in the hopes that the film will help commemorate the Asian American presence in the U.S. as well as the ACA’s own organizational history.  Baldwin Chiu and Larissa Lam, Producer and Director of the well-known documentary, will join the Celebration Gala on Saturday, December 11 at 2pm, to share their experiences of making this film. The virtual celebration will also feature state and city officials, cultural performances, and recognition of our outstanding community partners and sponsors.

After a second year of fighting the pandemic, we have a lot of stories to share with you. We look forward to meeting new and old friends, colleagues, partners, and community leaders in a renewed spirit of collaboration and community service.

Join us for an afternoon of networking, fun, and celebration on Saturday, December 11, 2021, 2pm on Zoom.
