ORGANIZATIONS WILL PROVIDE A FORUM FOR GREATER
APPRECIATION OF CHINESE CULTURE THROUGH EDUCATION AND
SOCIAL INTERACTION AND OFFER RESOURCES AND NETWORKING TO
MORE FULLY INTEGRATE CHINESE INTO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY;
AND
WHEREAS, CITIZENS OF CHINESE ANCESTRY AS WELL AS OTHER
HERITAGE WILL BENEFIT FROM THE FRIENDSHIP AND PROGRAMS
OFFERED BY THE CHINESE COMMUNITY; AND
WHEREAS, THE "GLOBAL VILLAGE" IS BECOMING SMALLER IN
SCALE, BUT LARGER IN IMPORTANCE IN ALL OF OUR LIVES AND
IT IS CRUCIAL FOR ALL OF US TO STRIVE TO BETTER
