Fine Jazz @ Fire Wok honoring Judge Peter Sakai, 10-21
San Antonio Asian Community Affairs is having a fundraising event on Tuesday October 21st, from 6-9 p.m. Tickets for sale at $30 per person. Includes drinks and great Chinese food. Henry Brun & the Latin Playerz Trio will be playing throughout the evening. The event will be held at the Fire Wok patio.
San Antonio Asian Community Affairs (SAACA) was founded in 2000 as a Texas non-profit organization. SAACA’s Mission is: To improve the well-being and quality of life for Asians and Asian Americans by acting as a liaison between the Asian Community and the local government to provide information and assist in other areas.
In the past SAACA has raised $80,000 to purchase 500 gas masks for the San Antonio Police Department, and 500 gas mask canisters to the San Antonio Fire Department. SAACA is hoping to raise enough money to build a one stop website to link up all the Asian organizations in San Antonio and provide access to the community.
Also SAACA would like to establish an emergency response team to provide emergency translation and assistance to the community. On this day San Antonio Asian Community Affairs is Honoring Judge Peter Sakai for “Asian Community Leader Award” and we are also celebrating Judge Sakai’s birthday.
For anyone who is interested in more information or ticket purchasing please call Michael Hu at 494-8886 or email at michaelhu88@hotmail.com
