What’s Going On?

The Center for Asian American Media celebrates it’s 30th anniversary this year with a fabulous gala held at the amazing Fisherman’s Wharf location of the Ana Madera Restaurant. The evening started off with a small welcome and introduction to guests from special celebrity MCs Roger Fan (Fast & The Furious) and Tamlyn Tomita (Joy Luck Club).

Following introductions, delicious food from seven restaurants brought guests mouth watering tastes of Asian Cuisine. The tastes of Asia came from Khai Duong with Ana Mandara, Lawrence C.C. Chu with Chef Chu’s, Dennis Wong with Le Soleil, Jackson Yu with Live Sushi Bar, Peter Chan with South Sea Seafood Village, Hung Le with Three Seasons, and last but not least Jeff Hubbard and Roy Yamaguchi with Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion.

The evening’s special tribute was in honor of filmmaker Loni Ding who was one of few that helped Asians pave the way for Asian American media. Family members of Loni Ding, David Welsh and May Ying Welsh were also honored on behalf of the Center of Asian American Media who were pleased to support the idea of the Loni Ding Award which is honor of her passionate documentary filmmaking that gives voice to underrepresented communities.
