A Night of Entertainment, Food, and Fun

An exciting night filled with memories. On May 4, CCACC held its annual club gathering, filled with energy and excitement. Many club members were eager to attend, showing off their talents through beautiful performances and delicious dishes. CCACC also used this opportunity to share current news, hoping to garner continuing support from this loving community.

At the start, Executive Director Chih-Hsiang Li gave a brief speech thanking the clubs for their participation. Next, Kate, PAVHC’s Director, talked about PAVHC’s vision and their 1st Pan Asian Clinic Charity Golf Cup on June 2nd, welcoming anyone interested in golf or anyone who wants to support PAVHC to come help.

Li-Fang Liu, CCACC’s Deputy Executive Director, shared CCACC’s latest news, including PAVHC’s Golf Cup and Do More 24, both fundraisers that will happen this month and next. Do More 24 is a 24-hour giving period that takes place from May 22nd to23rd.The money raised will go to PAVHC, helping them reach out to and help more patients. There are a lot of people in the community, especially new immigrants, who struggle to get healthcare services as a result of language and financial. It doesn’t matter how much you give; it’s the thought that counts. Give with a willing heart and together we can build a stronger community.

CCACC currently has 30 clubs, 9 of which were willing to showcase their talents and perform. The first performance came from CCACC’s DC Men’s Chorus’s Mr. Zhang who performed two touching songs.

Next, was the Washington DC Cheongsam Association who performed a beautiful feather fan dance. Their beautiful postures graced the stage like a bird taking flight.

Afterwards, CCACC Yah Jue Musical Taichi gave a musical taichi performance. Each movement was filled with both grace and strength, putting into practice the balance between power and gentleness.

The fourth performance was a tango performed by Sunny Dance. The two dancers stepped together in harmony, captivating the audience with their fiery tango performance.

Following them was a folk dance group from CCACC’s Evergreen with a lantern dance, creating a celebratory atmosphere. Their elegant steps paired with their smiling faces brought joy to the audience.

Next was a mesmerizing performance by CCACC’s newest club, Yaw-Yan Martial Arts. The father-son duo presented a fast-paced wushu demonstration, highlighting the skills and practice behind the art.

After their exciting demonstration, the CCACC Adult Folk Dance Club performed a beautiful fan and handkerchief dance. Their elegance filled the stage like flowers swaying under the moonlight.

It was then followed by another dance performance, presented by the Graceful Dance and Postures. They performed a Tibetan piece that not only showcased five beautiful dancers, but also a talented singer. The climax of the performance was when the singer reached a high note that sounded throughout the room filling it with energy.

Last but not least, the Fashion Model Education graced the stage with their presence and beautiful outfits. It was as if we’d travelled to Paris to enjoy a fashion show.

After the electrifying and elegant performances, Chiao-chiao Liu led everyone in a quick 5-minute dance known as the Five Elements Exercise. The entire audience was up and moving, adding to the already present energy. We ended the night with a delicious potluck dinner where people got to enjoy mouth-watering food while meeting new friends.
