Hello members of the TACL-Bay Area Listserve!
We have recently launched a new SF Bay area group, Taiwanese American Professionals (TAP-SF), which is modeled and affiliated with the more established TAP in Los Angeles (
http://tap.tacl.org ). TAP is a subgroup of TACL, but focuses more on the young professional population. The original TACL chapter here in the Bay area has become more or less inactive over the past few years, though we have been using this list frequently. However, we feel that restarting as TAP-SF may be more appropriate "branding" to serve the interests of many of you on this list, including many newcomers to the Bay area over the years who are familiar with TAP in other cities.
While we are still figuring out what to do with this listserve (as there are many emails which are inactive on this list), you will still see small changes come over
time, from a new website, a new listserve, some integration with TAP in LA, more connections with TAP in other cities, etc.
Our first change, as some of you have discovered already is building our TAP-SF presence on Facebook as another way of communicating our events and helping people to connect with others. If you have an account on this social networking site, join us and invite your friends, networks and contacts:
If you don't have an account, feel free to start one. It's open to everyone.
Stay tuned for more changes, as some of the new organizers begin to discuss how to best build a stronger organization for the future of our community here in the Bay area! If you'd like to take an active leadership role, please feel
free to contact Jason Lin or myself.
Thanks!
PS - Save the date: May 17th for the new and improved Taiwanese American Cultural Festival at Union Square in San Francisco. 10 am - 5 pm. More info at:
