LOVE FROM AUSTIN
Benefit Event for China Earthquake Relief
The Chinese Society of Austin co-sponsored a fund raising event on June 1st, 2008, organized by the Love of China Dance School in Austin to help the quake victims of Sichuan, China. It was a very successful event which raised a total of about $8000. We opened our hearts from half of the world away to express our love and care and will continue our efforts to aid the China's quake disaster areas.
