Christmas
Party The annual
Christmas Party was held on Saturday, Dec. 14 at Camarillo Heights
Elementary School. The Christmas Party was a success. An estimated 200
adults and children enjoyed the potluck supper and the night’s
entertainment. Thanks to Irene Sy and Lee-May Little for all their work on
the wonderful Nativity skit performed by the Chinese Language School. It
was a real treat to see the children so enthusiastically involved. The Junior
Bell Choir from the Camarillo United Methodist Church and the Adult Choir
from the Taiwanese Presbyterian Church was a great way to get us all in
the spirit of Christmas; they really added to the program with the
Christmas carols. The dance troupe under the direction of Yu-Ling Lu was
also a great success; we are so lucky to have so many talented people in
our organization. Our Santa
Claus was splendidly portrayed by Tim Fu of Camarillo. He was great and
the children all seemed to enjoy their Christmas gift of the DVD's donated
by the Technicolor Corp. Many thanks
to the sponsors, Drs. Lisa and Albert Fu, and the help provided the Youth
Group led by Juliet Kong and Tiffany Chieu, and everyone who made the
celebration a success. Charlotte

VCCAA
Historical Society The final
version of the China Alley Memorial Mural is being prepared for approval
by the City Council of Ventura. The artists, Mr. and Mrs. Qi Pang are from
the People’s Republic of China and are skilled in painting and
calligraphy. They also have considerable experience in creating large size
mural. We shall need volunteers to help with preparing the wall for their
painting. The location of the Memorial will be on the wall facing the
fountain near Santa Clara Street along the Figueroa walkway. We hope that
work can begin in February. The Ventura
County Museum of History and Art would like to feature the history of the
Chinese in Ventura County in an exhibition at the Museum. This exhibit is
tentatively scheduled for Spring of 2004 and would last for 3 months. The
Museum’s Curator, Anne Graumlich, is seeking information and objects for
inclusion in the exhibit. Anyone with information or objects (photographs,
clothing, household pieces, etc.) is encouraged to call Ms. Graumlich at
805-653-0323, ext. 19, or send email to curator@vcmha.org.
Please call or email by May 1, 2003. The Ventura County Museum will
professionally display and protect all objects borrowed for the exhibit.
We need all the members of the VCCAA to support this project since this
will be the first time that we have an entire exhibit in the Museum be
devoted to the history of Chinese in this county. Please contact Ms.
Graumlich regarding any item you may lend the Museum for this exhibit. George

VCCAA
Youth Group Hello everybody! First of
all, I'd like to say Happy New Year to everyone who is reading this!
I hope 2002 was a memorable year for everybody and now that 2003
has begun, we can begin with a fresh start and a refreshed sense of
enthusiasm. I'd like to
recap what has been going on recently with the Youth Group.
This past December, I had the privilege of co-hosting the annual
Christmas party. We had a
great turnout and I especially enjoyed the DVDs that were given to the
children as gifts. I am sure
everyone was impressed with Santa's generosity and enjoyed the evening.
I'd also like to personally congratulate Dr. H. Ling and all of the
hardworking board members who made this successful event possible. The Youth
Group is currently anticipating the next big event - the Cultural Night at
Performing Arts Center of Pacifica High School, to occur.
We will be there setting up and helping out with the other VCCAA
members. If anyone is
interested in participating with these events, who is not already doing
so, please contact me at 805-358-0676.
I will be happy to answer any questions and update you on any
upcoming events. Also, our
Youth Group is currently made up of many high school seniors who will be
graduating in the next year. We
will need the VCCAA youths to start participating in order to continue
having a Youth Group. So
please tell your friends about this opportunity.
Thank you! If you have any questions or comments please contact me (Juliet) at
(805) 988-1105, 358-0676 (cell) or at my email: JKoolcat@aol.com.
Tiffany can be reached 987-1893 or email: tiff2007@aol.com. Juliet Kong
