Opening of the Him Mark Lai Learning Center
Saturday, June 22, 2013
We would like to thank Mrs. Laura Lai, Dr. and Mrs. Rolland and Kathryn Lowe for generously contributing the seed funds to endow the Him Mark Lai Learning Center. Their vision and commitment is the driving force behind this initiative.
Him Mark Lai was an inspiring, incredible historian whose insight transformed the cultural landscape and created meaningful relationships on both sides of the Pacific. It is our hope that the Him Mark Lai Learning Center will continue this powerful legacy by making Chinese American history accessible and relevant to the young generations. The Chinese Culture Foundation cares deeply about connecting people, building strong communities and inspiring youth through cross-cultural experiences.
We envision the Him Mark Lai Learning Center as the hub of our education activities, including the rebranded walking tour, From Dynasty to Democracy, In Search of Roots workshops and seminars, In Search of Roots California program and In Search of Roots China program.
Your presence and encouragement will give meaning to our vision. I hope to personally welcome you to the opening ceremony on Saturday, June 22.
Activities of the Him Mark Lai Learning Center will include: From Dynasty to Democracy Walk, In Search of Roots Seminars, In Search of Roots in California, In Search of Roots in China.
