[HoChie Tsai]

Hello!

 

Just one last reminder about a couple of events that TaiwaneseAmerican.org is supporting this Saturday! Hope you'll come out in support of the Taiwanese American and Asian American communities! I'll be at both events, so come and look for me!

 

Also, check out our recently updated Spotlight on some emerging Taiwanese American filmmakers! And look for the CD Giveaway posted on the main page! 

Take care,
Ho Chie Tsai
