[Bridge Mixer (Social Networking Event)] During a difficult economy, it's more important than ever to strengthen our community bonds and connections! This isn't a job fair, but as many of us know, networking opens doors for opportunities. So why not start with fellow Taiwanese-Americans? This social networking event is a function primarily aimed at the local college community in providing students with networking opportunities to working professionals within the TAP community. And it's an opportunity for our TAP members to continue connecting with each other. Taiwanese and Taiwanese American Student Associations (TSAs and TASAs) from schools such as Academy of Art University, UC-Berkeley, Stanford, San Francisco State University, University of San Francisco, Golden Gate University, and others will be participating in this mixer. To help everyone get better acquainted, we'll be leading some informal and fun ice breaker activities with the students and young professionals. Food will be complimentary of Empero Taste restaurant located in the Outer Richmond of San Francisco. There will be enough for everyone to have a full course catered meal (fried rice, fried noodles, and a variety of Chinese entrees). Beverages included. There will also be a live DJ (Evin Kepik) and live performances by Taiwanese American artists throughout different segments of the event. The event will take place on October 10 between 5-9PM at 55 2nd Street. Don't miss out! We're expecting well over 300 attendees!
