Proceeds raised will be used to help us achieve our mission of bilingual, multicultural education and fund valuable school programs and support education opportunities for children and youth across our three programs: Preschool, Weekend Chinese School, and Wah Mei Summer Camp. Our event could not have happened without the gracious participation of our special guest emcee, reigning Miss Chinatown, Jasmine Lee, photographer, Michael Jeong, the friends and businesses who so kindly donated items for our Live and Silent Auctions; and for every sponsor, donor, Gala attendee and raffle ticket purchaser whose efforts helped to make the evening such a great success!

Guests included Wah Mei School founders, the Honorable Judges Lillian Sing and Julie Tang, former Wah Mei Board members and long-time supporters, Martin King, Gee Kin Chou, Karen Lam, Albert and Marian Ko, Karen Liu, Michael Kreutzer, Kai Ng, and Grace Leung.

It is blessed with nature’s gifts and a heritage reflecting the rich tapestry of America. Its mild Mediterranean climate, fertile earth and forest bounty defined the region’s fortunes for two hundred years and more. Gradually, major agriculture took root. And today, the Gilroy region has grown to become a cornucopia of specialist horticulture – vegetable crops, greens, seeds and fruits of the vine. In particular, Gilroy’s massive garlic production is nationally renowned, and the annual festival sees the city lay claim to the title: ‘garlic capital of the world’. Clearly visible on the region’s horizon is a future even more rewarding and more sustainable than could ever have been imagined by Gilroy’s early ranchers, horticulturists and viticulturists. 4 DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE? 5 DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE? Silicon Valley’s behemothic spread is fanning the winds of optimism throughout the valley.
