The 2nd Annual Asian-American Cultural Festival of Long Island

Saturday, March 29th, 2008
at
Charles B. Wang Center in Stony Brook University

Thank You All for Making

the 2nd Annual Asian-American Cultural Festival of LI So Successful!

The festival drew thousands of people to the Wang Center at Stony Brook University to enjoy live performances, interactive workshops, lectures, movies, cultural displays, corporate displays, raffle drawings, face painting, art exhibits, lion dances, a tea ceremony, taiko drumming and more.

The Asian-American Cultural Festival brought together cultural representatives from Korea, China, Taiwan, India, Thailand, Japan and the Philippines to showcase their traditions and share their heritage with all who attended. The Wang Center was filled with Asians and non-Asians alike who had traveled to Stony Brook to enjoy the festivities. In the evening, awards were given out after feasting on a sumptuous buffet, complemented by some delicious wine. It was a memorable and joyful event.

Here are a couple of messages from our guests:

Drew Nearly 1,000 Attendants

Thank you all for making this event a great success!

Stella Shieh, AACFLI Event Organizer
"The event turned out very well, we were on channel 12's nightly report, and Newsday was there taking pictures. Also Legislator John M. Kennedy showed up without notice...what a surprise. Virginia Huie was a glamorous and warm host. The excellent exhibition, talented performers in the afternoon, relaxing lobby music entertainment and the evening performances, what a day! I know you were exhausted and so was I, however we made it possible, and after 6 months worth of effort, it produced some very satisfying feedback.

Thank you!!!"

Karen Bomzer, AACFLI Public Relations Director
"I think the attendance and the enthusiasm exhibited at the festival exceeded our expectations....at least in my case. I was delighted to see so many people. Some that I had invited came...but it was so crowded they couldn't find me! "

Ramon Villongco, AACFLI Events Coordinator Philippines
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the Asian American Cultural Festival of Long Island. We have been preparing for this event for so many months and I am very proud to say that I am fortunate to work with all of you especially Stella and her entire team who made this evening's events a success. The people who attended today's events were so impressed with the Asian American Cultural presentation. The presentations from each of the countries were all beautiful. The Auditorium was packed with people and was very well attended. The food also was great!

Congratulations to all the committee members and the volunteers for a job well done! More Power To All! See you all next year!"
