Young Asian Professionals Happy Hour at Gua Rapo! January 31, 2008

Let's kick off 2008 with a bang!... come January, I always get a good case of cabin fever... and feel the need to get out... sooo hopefully, this happy hour will help!

My new year's resolution is to get more involved with Asian charities, so we'll be benefiting the Sunflower Mission... www.sunflowermission.org ... an organization committed to improving lives in Vietnam through educational assistance programs.

So spread the word, mix and mingle with new and familiar faces, have some fun, and help support a good cause!... suggested $5 donation. Also, the following groups will be co-hosting so far!

. 20s & 30s Asian Going Out Group
. Vietnamese Professionals
. OCA-YP (Org. for Chinese Americans)
. JET AA-DC (Japanese Exchange Teaching)
. CCCCDC (Chinatown Community Cultural Center)
. DC APA Film
. AAA-Fund YP (Asian American Action Fund)

(If you know of any other groups that might be interested in joining, just let me know.)

For those that haven't been there before, Gua Rapo is a sleek lounge with international flair, hookah pipes, and "guarapo" (meaning sugarcane juice) cocktails, for which the place is named after. WE'LL BE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. See www.latinconcepts.com/guarapo

To help continue the friendly tone of this group... I'd like to again encourage each person to have a GOAL OF MEETING 3 NEW PEOPLE at this event.

Courthouse metro (RECOMMENDED) is within walking distance (Orange line), just 2 stops outside of DC, yet still in VA for you NoVA peeps. WE'LL BE ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
