From Ed, TAP President:
Happy Lunar New Year! Thanks to those of you who took time out of your busy holiday schedule and joined us at our December events. We had a successful month with lots of events that kept us busy; from collecting toy donations at our annual Christmas dinner (which was a blast!) to donating the toys and seeing the happy faces of the Children at the Heartfelt Foundation event, we concluded the year on positive philanthropic note!
We also had a great New Years Eve party at The Annex in the Hollywood and Highland complex that was catered by Wolfgang Puck (pictures to come soon).
This month and the next, we continue with events to help people to develop professionally, to network, make new friends, bring the community together, and promote and preserve our identity.
Just wanted to remind everyone about our annua Lunar New Year dinner this upcoming Saturday, January 31, 2009. For more details, please visit our e-vite here:

YGAP is hosting our first networking mixer of the year on Valentine’s Day!
Come join us for an exciting night of wine tasting and an opportunity to network with other members of our Asian community!
The wine tasting event will be a “blind sampling” featuring a variety of wines. Think you’re a wine connoisseur? Let’s put that to the test to see if you can differentiate between a fine wine and 2 buck chuck! Appetizers will be provided. The event will be held at Shark Club in Costa Mesa. All attendees can also stay to party at the club and bypass the normal $20 club cover charge!
DJ starts at 9:30pm and will be going full gear until 2am.
