Yesterday, we celebrated CISC's 40th anniversary. Some of the original members of CISC got together for the first time in decades. Coming from as far away as New York and Hong Kong, they toured the new offices, learned about how CISC has grown over the years, and joined other returning board members for a special VIP reception just prior to the Friendship Dinner & Auction. Check out the photos:

Our first corporate sponsor for the 40th Anniversary Friendship Dinner & Auction is Tai Foong USA! Many thanks to owner Davy Lam for his long time and generous support as a Gold Level Sponsor!

And if you happen to see some of their products at Costco, please try them! They're sold under the Northern Chef, Northern King and Royal Asia brands. Delicious and healthy frozen seafood of the highest quality. Dine well, feel well, live well! 

39th Annual Friendship Dinner and Auction

Over 350 guests and supporters attended CISC's 39th Annual Friendship Dinner and Auction held at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue on June 4. Guests enjoyed a plated dinner while participating in both live and silent auctions throughout the night. Through generous donations and gifts, we raised nearly $140,000 during the event for CISC programs! Thanks to everyone who came out and supported CISC, making this a very successful night for us.

Cathay Bank

Monday, CISC received a check in the amount of $15,000 from the Cathay Bank Foundation to support programs that reach across the generations.

Programs with multi-generational impact such as our preschool and youth programs that enhance academic achievement and bicultural identity, bilingual parent education and family counseling, and elder services and caregiver support.

Pictured here with Executive Director Alaric Bien are Cathay Bank employees Thomas Ng and Kenyon Mayeda.  Thank you Cathay!
