EVENT PREP |
It takes a village to make this celebration a success so we hope you can be part of our village. In addition to attending, we are looking for volunteers for the following:
- Cultural Table: Last year we had cultural tables representing Nepal, China, Japan, Korea, India, Hawaii and the Philippines. This is an opportunity to share an art and craft, showcasing various cultural elements (food, language, clothing etc.) If you are interested, sign up and I connect you with others who are interested as well.
- Performers: We are looking for parent or kid performers. Here are some ideas: martial art performance, singing, cultural dance, book reading, etc.
- Fashion Show: Dress up in your cultural attire and showcase your beautiful garments during the fashion show!
- General Volunteer: Come early to help us set up, help us with run of show or stay after to help us clean up.
If you are interested in participating or helping out, please fill out this survey.
See photos from last year's AAPI Celebration.
If you have any questions you may reach out to Patty Hampton or Vicki Tung.
