Dear Malden Civic, Faith and Community leaders,
We am excited to invite you to join us in the upcoming MAPAC's annual Lunar New Year celebration once again to welcome the Year of the Tiger. We are humbled by your interests in the past 12 seasons and we hope to renew our close affiliation through this annual celebration of diverse Asian American cultures in Malden. We have maintained this progressive network of visonaries, activists, educators, elected officials, civic and faith leaders, health and human services organizations serving local low income and vulnerable populations since 1997 where MAPAC celebrated its first event with the former Malden Hospital. I have
the honor to be a part of this project since. Our unweaving support jointly has been transforming this group into a model of consistent and healthful relationship and a network of progressive and robust alliance important for the survival of Malden's diverse populations and organizations serving them. Together, we are enhancing a local safety net for low income families, resilience of vulnerable populations, community inclusion for the under-served and represented citiziens and groups in Malden. This year the Asian American Club has taken up the challenge to play a key role in producing and organizing this big event. I hope you will consider join us in various ways.
