Lunar New Year's Greetings - Dave Cortese, County Supervisor
Chúc Mừng Năm Mới
Dear Vietnamese-American Community,
In celebration of the Year of the Dragon, I wish you and your family a joyous year of prosperity, harmony, and good health.
I congratulate the Vietnamese American community for its special and unique contributions to Santa Clara County and for enriching our cultural diversity.
What is crucial to strengthening our County? It is your participation in local events and government so your voices could be heard and your needs can be met. Please join me in improving the Vietnamese American community.
Once again, “Chúc Mừng Năm Mới” and let’s continue to work together to build a better County.
Warm Wishes,
Dave Cortese
Santa Clara County Supervisor

Tet Celebration from The Vietnamese Consulate in San Francisco
For the first few years, there were a number of anti-communist demonstrations but nowaday, nobody seems to mind any more. People of all ages come and have a great time to bring in the Lunar New Year at the expense of the consulate. It has become part of the cultural norm of Little Saigon in the Bay Area

Where: Institute for Women’s Policy Research

This fellowship will be made up of two parts: 1) participation in a two-day training program to be held in Washington, D.C. on Thursday and Friday, April 19-20, 2012; and 2) the publication of an in-depth, substantive story (or series) focusing on the challenges and/or triumphs of immigrant women in the United States, before August 30, 2012.
Two-Day Training: The two days in Washington, D.C. will consist of a series of lectures, discussions, and journalistic training related to immigration policy, the history of the women’s movement, and the intersection of immigration and gender. Each fellow is expected to bring a well thought-out story idea to the fellowship training, and information from these sessions will assist in the development of proposed articles.
Training sessions may include such topics as sex trafficking; the separation of families; immigrant women and the economy; immigrant women in the American South; domestic violence; immigrants and reproductive rights; sexual abuse in immigrant detention centers; the next generation of women leaders, etc.
Ten fellows will be chosen for the program. Former fellows are welcome to apply. New America Media will cover two nights of hotel, travel expenses, as well as lunches for the two-day fellowship training. Fellows will receive a $2,000 stipend following publication of the fellow’s proposed story.
