A cadre of members turned out to staff the Chinese Cultural Society of Stockton booth at the City of Stockton's Multicultural Diversity Celebration, HANDS ACROSS STOCKTON, held at Weber Point Events Center on a bright summer day, August 21 st . It was an event to acknowledge and get to know the many ethnic groups that make up the vibrant fabric of this community. Chinese cultural goods and books from the Ho Yeh Market found enthusiastic buyers among the festival crowd, who also enjoyed viewing the photographic exhibit of Chinese history in Stockton. The collection of photographs, first displayed four years ago during the Stockton's California Sesquicentennail Celebration, always generates a lot of interest in the contributions of the Chinese in the community. We partnered with Jene Wah Senior Service Agency, whose booth featured dim sum made by the seniors.
Many thanks to Ed Soon, Loreen Huey, Mabel Morodomi, Colleen and Gordon Lee and their daughters Elizabeth and Michelle, Verna Blaine, George & Fang Wang, and Jeri Wong for spending their day at the CCSS booth, and CCSS members Francis Lau, Bonnie Lew, Judy and Bevin Hong who helped out at the Jene Wah concession. |
