Dear Gale-Bailey Pride,
Thank you to all the families that RSVP for the Family Game Night Tonight from 6:00-7:30 pm. It's really about us enjoying one another.
We have more fun events coming up to end the year. We would love to see you at the family game night. Bring the whole family and a game.

PS. A food truck will be on site.
We are celebrating! May marks Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, which celebrates the histories of Americans hailing from across the Asian continent and from the Pacific islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
This year's theme, selected by the Federal Asian Pacific American Council, is "Advancing Leaders Through Collaboration," which builds on a leadership advancement theme series that began last year.
The month was the brainchild of Jeanie Jew, a former Capitol Hill staffer, who shared the idea with Rep. Frank Horton, who introduced the legislation that formed it.
Jew's great grandfather, M.Y. Lee, left China for the United States in the 1800s before he helped build the transcontinental railroad. Lee became a prominent businessman in California and later traveled to Oregon. Unfortunately, he was killed during a period of unrest and anti-Asian sentiment.
