40 years of History

This year, Asian Americans for Community Involvement (AACI) celebrates 40 years of making a difference. Started by only a handful of community activists gathered around kitchen tables, AACI has grown to become the largest non-profit in Santa Clara County providing serving the Asian American Community.

Join SBFT, Congressman Mike Honda and Assemblymember Paul Fong, to honor and celebrate the dedication and commitment of the leaders who laid the groundwork to develop a full service community organization serving over 15,000 individuals a year. This event will bring together individuals that were pivotal in making AACI happen and young leaders who are inspired to make a change in their communities.

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP with Rabiah.Khalid@aaci.org. Check out the Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/events/411254808967206/
