Thank You for Two Wonderful Years
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported and attended the Dumpling Tasting Soirée over the past two years. Your enthusiasm, generosity, and love for food and culture have made this event truly special.
Regrettably, we will not be moving forward with the event in 2026 due to a lack of funding. We deeply appreciate your understanding and continued support for our mission to celebrate diversity and community through the arts.
We invite you to join us for our upcoming event, Asian Harmony: A Showcase of Art, Music, and Dance, on November 30, 2025 — an inspiring evening of creativity, culture, and connection.
