SCCLA NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Since 1987, SCCLA has sponsored the Holiday Food Basket program in
collaboration with Chinatown Service Center (CSC).  This year the goal
is to provide over 200 families in the Chinatown area with a holiday
food basket.  Recipients come from various ethnic backgrounds and are
pre-selected by CSC for need.  Each basket provides enough food for a
family to enjoy a holiday meal.

Please help us continue to bring hope and joy to some of our Los Angeles
neighbors by making a donation to the Program.  Donation in any amounts
is greatly appreciated.  It helps us purchase the food for the baskets.
Moreover, your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed
by law.  CSC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization - and
its Federal tax identification number is 95-2918844.

Please send donations (including the attached form) to SCCLA, c/o
Shirley Yauw, 1145 Wilshire Blvd., 2nd Fl., Los Angeles, CA 90017.
THANK YOU!!

Dear Media and Community Friends,

You may or may not know, but APALC will be one of the many teams
participating in HomeWalk LA next Saturday, Nov. 17, at LA’s Exposition
Park. This is an event to benefit LA’s homeless population–estimated to be
88,000 people per night, 15,000 being children. Our Executive Director
Stewart Kwoh was instrumental in getting this event off the ground. Many of
our staff, myself included (and my kids!) will participate in the walk. This
is a great event, in its first of hopefully many years to come, and I hope
that you will pass the word, join us, and/or become a sponsor. Please to go
www.homewalkla.org for more information. Thanks much.

Tammy
