More than 200 Cerritos Chinese American Senior Citizen Association members and guests came together Feb. 12 at the Cerritos Senior Center to celebrate the Chinese New Year and to pay tribute to outgoing President Ginger Tang who had served the organization with distinction for two years. Dr. James Chang has been elected its new President.
This is the Year of the Rabbit for peace, opportunities, prosperity and hopes. Members and guests enjoyed a day full of entertainment including a Chinese Opera, a Chinese buffet lunch, Lion Dance, Song Bo Choir, Chinese cultural dances, a fashion show, mahjong contest and a dancing and karaoke party.
CCASCA was organized to serve the local Chinese senior citizen community more than 19 years ago. It is very active in the community and has more than 1000 paid members. “Mrs. Tang’s involvement with our senior activities, hard work, multiple talents and leadership in the last two years will be definitely missed. We just wish her well as we continue to bring in services to our Association,” said past President Charles Lee.
“Dr. Chang has been serving our Association for a long time and is well known to the community. We believe with his past experiences and his willingness to serve, he will bring our Association an even higher level of services to our senior members in the years to come.”
Chang thanked the Association for electing him President and promised that this year the Association will be planning many senior activities.
