As most of you know, Asians & Friends Chicago is hosting our parent group’s International Friendship Conference or IFCON this Labor Day (www.ifcon2016.org). We are expecting over 200 people from across the globe to converge here in the Windy City. It’s a proud moment.
Help us out by taking this survey on how we can best communicate with you going forward:

Also in preparation for this and for our Chicago Gay Pride Parade float entry in June, we’re hosting a fundraiser for Asian Pacific Islander Month on Sun. May 22, 2016 at 1 p.m. at Sidetrack, 3349 N. Halsted in Boystown. Tickets will be $20. You’ll get a drink ticket and we’ll be doing a “Loony Lunar” musical review called “No Business Like Monkey Business.”
More importantly, as we meet over the coming weeks, we’ll need for you to actively consider volunteering, donating or supporting us in any way you can. That means clearing your schedule, getting out your checkbooks and sharing our events online with everyone you know. The more you get involved, the greater our power in gathering energy, talent and resources. Please consider all we as a community-based organizing group offers the city of Chicago and decide what all that history and energy is worth to you. Thanks and see you at our upcoming events!
