After
twenty-five years, we, the Vietnamese have been settling in the United
States, the Vietnamese community still is expanding rapidly, especially
in Washington State. It
is time that we need to establish an activity center for our community
to maintain our culture and traditions, unifying the Vietnamese
communities in the United States, and to provide assistance to our
community members in special need.
In
able to establish this objective to serve our Community, we, the
Campaign Committee, have established a center named the Vietnamese
Community Activity Center. Our
Vietnamese community needs to be united so that we can be an example to
the next generations and to share our pride in our culture and
traditions with other ethnic communities and engage successfully into
new society.
The
objectives of the Center will be:
1.
Organize
all the activity of the Community (including social activity)
2.
Act
as a central meeting place to exchange information between the
different ethnic communities in Washington State and also across the US.
3.
Create
and help to unite the larger Vietnamese Community in the US.
4.
Preserve
all Vietnamese cultural documentation and artifacts. The Campaign
Committee will establish a guideline while the Administration Committee
will lead and manage the funding of the Center.
The responsibility of the Campaign Committee
will be completed once the Vietnamese Community Activity Center was
built. The
Administration Committee, which will be voted by Vietnamese residents
in Washington State, will preside over the operation and management of
the VNCAC.
5. Introduce to
the American public Vietnamese culture, art and literature.
With these objectives in mind, the Campaign
Committee is asking for your help, support and contribution so that we
will soon have the Vietnamese Community Activity Center instituted to
preserve our culture and traditions.
With your help, we can make the VNCAC a part
of the Community. We
welcome all suggestions.
Sincerely,
Seattle, August 30, 2000
