NTC Wismettac Foundation Award - CPAD was awarded $25,000 by NTC Wismettac Foundation for the construction of our CPAD Activity Center. The foundation's mission is to support the Asian disability communities. Both Vanda and Stella met with Mr. Toshiyuki Nishikawa, Vice President, on 12/23/2013 and were inspired and touched by the story of the founder of NTC Wismettac Foundation who started the plight to support those in need in Japan and extended to the United States 2 years ago.
CICPA Beijing Opera Fundraising for CPAD - On November 22 & 23, 2013, the California Institute for Chinese Performing Arts (CICPA) organized the "2013 Chinese Cultural Performing Arts Festival" Beijing Opera Show. Again, this year, the CICPA has donated the proceeds from the performances in support of the CPAD’s Activity Center Capital Campaign. In order to promote Chinese culture and to help our CPAD’s children to have their own Activity Center as soon as possible, President Rosana Hsu, though not feeling well, insisted on attending the function in person. When she saw the marvelous performance and the outpouring of donations, she smiled in joy. Total funds raised in this special event is $11,188. On behalf of CPAD, we hereby express our deepest appreciation and heartfelt thanks!

Dear Friends and CPAD Members,
CPAD Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to introduce our newly elected president, Mrs. Vanda Yung. She is the mother of Nanette (CPAD Rainbow dancer). Her husband Michael, who also provides CPAD technical support, is the ‘Creative Audio Visual Technology Class” instructor.
In 1982, Vanda received a Master degree in Social Welfare from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). After graduation, she joined the Chinatown Service Center in Los Angeles serving the Chinese immigrant community in various capacities, including 15 years of bilingual and bicultural clinical/counseling experience as well as over 10 years of other managerial experience. She has involved with CPAD families and programs since 2001. She is fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Being familiar with Chinese culture, she is particularly resourceful in servicing and training our parents and members with special needs. CPAD welcome Vanda to be our new president.
Please extend your support to Vanda and CPAD as you had supported our late president Rachel. With your support and Vanda’s new leadership, CPAD is looking forward to building our network resources, expanding member services, and completing CPAD’s new center.
Thank you,
CPAD Board of Directors
