Exploring Music and Visual Arts
Children in the Red Oak After School program have been busy with a new arts-focused curriculum. Our youngest students are learning Spanish through singing “La Bamba” and dipping their toes into ornithology through creating bird collages. The older elementary students are drumming along to the “Lion King,” and building houses in their visual arts class.

BCNC Portraits: Tammy Hui
In 2007, Tammy sought a volunteer opportunity where she could use her marketing skills to serve the Asian community. Her search led her to become one of BCNC’s most loyal volunteers. In the past 10 years, Tammy helped start the Bamboo Circle, assisted in marketing, social media, and event planning and served on the marketing and fundraising committees.
“When you look at BCNC’s breadth of programs, the passion of its staff, and the commitment it has for the long term health of Chinatown, you’ll easily understand why BCNC has a steadily-growing base of supporters like myself,” says Tammy. “I’m excited to watch BCNC’s continued growth from my new home in California, and I hope to see new supporters step in and be a part of it!”
Thank you, Tammy for your service and support to BCNC!
