Thank You! CAAAV's 20th Anniversary Celebration a Success!

To the over-three hundred friends, allies and supporters who attended our 20th anniversary celebration, Our Roots Grow Deep, on Friday, May 18th, we would like to express our deepest appreciation. We were deeply touched by the incredible turn-out and tremendous show of support; in one evening, CAAAV received pledges totaling over $20,000! Thanks to you, our event was an amazing success. We hope you were as inspired by our speakers, performers, and members as we were by your presence and gestures of appreciation.

With your support, CAAAV continues its community organizing and movement-building efforts with the Southeast Asian immigrant and refugee community in the Bronx, low-income tenants and youth in Manhattan's Chinatown, and Asian immigrant women working in low-wage service industries city-wide. Your support also ensures that we will be able to continue with our movement-building alliance and coalition work locally, nationally and internationally - most notably as we continue to build for the first U.S. Social Forum in Atlanta (www.ussf2007.org) which will take place from June 27 to July 1. We thank you for taking action, for joining us in this critical work, and for being a part of CAAAV's ever-growing community.

Please visit our website again in the near future for a recap of the evening which will include photos!
