Successful and exciting events of the past few months kept
our Councilors very busy. It was a very productive second quarter
and a lot was accomplished with helps from our members. As I was
working out on my garden weeding, fertilizing and setting in new
plants and enjoying the lush color of summer, I cannot help but
thinking about all the time and efforts that were put in by those
who help grow IACA for the last 32 years. To sustain and grow
a non-profit organization takes a lot of selflessness and sacrifice
on personal time. As the old adage said: ‘it takes a village
to raise a kid’, we can just guess how much it takes to
administer an organization and fulfill its mission. My thank you
list is endless but I would like to take this opportunity to say
my special
Thanks to……….
Yvonne Shen and Allen Cheung who
took care of the membership, database and the IACA website administration
for the past few years.

compilation of the 2005 Membership Directory and has recently
