TACT members and SF State students helped children with kites, red envelope origami dogs, and paper bag suitcases.
 
Angel Island and Lunar New Year books were on display. Lonnie Chin and Nick Bartel donated many titles for teachers in attendance.
 
All participants received a flashdrive which included Angel Island PowerPoints for elementary and middle/senior high, Angel Island Detainee PowerPoint from SF State’s APIA Biography Project. Book and Resource lists, PDF selections from Chinese Americans Past and Present, Lunar New Year Activities, an updated version of Gordon Lew’s Red Envelope, and Sam Louie’s story of his family.  In addition to loading the flashdrives, TACT member Josephine Zhao has placed the information in a Google folder:

Members of the public were also invited to the event.  School Board Commissioner Emily Murase and District One Supervisor Sandy Fewer dropped by to address the crowd and to look at the exhibits and books.  The reviews from teachers, students, and the public were highly complimentary and enthusiastic.
