The evening began with a silent auction and raffle.
To kick off the 10-course banquet, Rev. Jacob Fung, Pastor Emeritus of Boston Chinese Evangelical Church, offered a prayer for the agency and Chinatown. Two newly hired full-time program directors—Adult Basic Education Director Anna Fan and Director of Children and Families Dr. Linda Liang—were then introduced to dinner guests by James Lam, President of the Board of Directors. The remarks by Anna and Linda centered on the role of ACCESS as a bridge builder within the family and within the community.

The owners of the restaurant—Mr. and Mrs. David Wong—presented a $2,000 check to Mei Kee Wong, Executive Director. As a small token of appreciation for the owners' generosity and long-time commitment to the Chinese community, Bak Fun Wong presented them with a crystal persimmon.

The fundraising event raised a total of $24,000, which will be used to support the agency's various programs for children and adults. Special thanks go to those who attended the banquet and those who could not attend but made donations. We are also grateful to the many businesses and individuals for their donation of auction or raffle items. We could not have done it without you!
