Thank you for supporting our Lunar New Year Luncheon

Over 720 people attended our Lunar New Year Luncheon on Friday, February 21 at New Asia Restaurant. We honored Reverend Norman Fong for his 30 years of service with Chinatown Community Development Center where he has paved the way for community engagement and leadership development as vehicles in fighting for improved quality of life, affordable housing, open space, and safer communities. At the event, we had a special presentation to Mrs. Anita Lee for the induction of Mayor Edwin M. Lee into the Affordable Housing Hall of Fame for his lasting contributions to affordable housing and advancing the cause. Under his leadership, San Francisco created more affordable housing than any other Mayor in the City's history. Thank you to our sponsors, donors, supporters, and guests for joining us to celebrate the new year!
