Florida Chinese Community Leadership Retreat

Dear Chinese community leaders of Flouida, UCA (United Chinese Americans)planned a statewide “Florida Chinese Community Leadership Retreat" for leaders and activists of Chinese American organizations in Florida a few months back, as part of a foundation grant. Then the Florida discriminatory land bill was Introduced and everyone was busy engaging in fighting the bill. That fight has shifted into a different direction and gear, which allows us to convene this timely retreat. The purpose of this retreat is to let leaders of Chinese community in different cities know each other better,and to share with each other what your organization has been doing, and what's our shared future as a community. The Florida land law has given us a new sense of urgency and purpose. For this first statewide retreat of Chinese community in Florida, UCA grant covers your one night hotel expenses (double occupancy),some meals,coffee and drinks, parking fee and other conference charges. We look forward to an exciting get-together and some fun time this Saturday with you from all parts of Florida!! Warmly, Haipei Shue President of United Chinese Americans(USA)
