||For more than a generation in South Florida, the CABA has sought to
build a permanent facility where the remarkable legacy of our Chinese ancestors
and civilization can be exhibited, celebrated, passed on to new generations
and shared in a spirit of appreciation with our non-Chinese neighbors.
To achieve this goal of both conserving our cultural heritage for our
children and grandchildren
along with sharing its rich traditions and art with our fellow American
friends, completion of such a
community meeting place is essential and will contribute to the vitality
of the area's cultural environment.
At this time, we are pleased to report that a site of 2.7 acres
has been purchased at a cost of $90,000.00, and building plans have been
completed. The need now is for approximately $300,000.00 to construct the
building and complete the project, and since our building fund must be
fiscally realistic before construction can begin, we are earnestly soliciting
your assistance at this time.
Your financial support is vital to the successful completion
of this cultural center, which will be a
lasting reminder of your generosity, and will be gratefully remembered
for generations to come.
Sincerely,
GowS. Low KC Chow President
