Greetings All,

As we are in the holiday season, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support and participation in our community. We couldn't have had such a successful year without all of you!

The TAP community of the Bay Area is indeed a special one. We kicked off the year with a beautiful banquet, professional headshots at the shot-for-shot event and then a record breaking cultural festival. Our dragon boat team, the defending Novice champs, took home gold again this year. The first negotiation workshop was a big success. We've had some crowded and cheery TAPpy hours and are looking forward to many more to come! Volunteering events have been amazing as many of you dedicated time to volunteer at the Oakland Zoo and CAAM Fest. The season of giving continues - we will be partaking in the upcoming Giving Tree gift drive.

As we look forward to 2019, I'd like to extend the invitation to you to join us on the TAP team. Applications for chair positions are officially open, and we are always looking for committee members to help out throughout the year. Our focus as a community organization in 2019 will continue to center around social, community, health and wellness, and professional events. We are also looking for ways to increase civic engagement and be able to partner with other other Asian American groups to do so. Lastly, we want to get to know new members and focus on you. Come join us at the next recruiting event on 12/10 and complete our quick survey.

Wishing everyone a warm and blessed holiday!

Yours truly,
Vivian Liu
