I am excited about what we are working on at APCC and proud to have an organization that embraces the people of Asia and the Pacific Islands. APCC serves the general public of Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington State, National and International, about the 47 Asia Pacific countries of the world and their unique histories, cultures, languages, arts, crafts, customs, honor and respect. I encourage you to join us to build and grow the APCC. We have many plans in the making and we need all of you to help us accomplish them! It takes a community to fulfill dreams. Please join me in this wonderful endeavor, it will be well worth it, especially for the future of our young generations to come!
