Hey, Bay Area, Hope to see you Friday morning at the Old Oakland Farmer's Market. CalFresh members will get a matching $15 to spend on fruits and vegetables.

I had a chance to speak at the Commemoration of the USC Center for Health Journalism 20th Anniversary. Congratulations to Michelle Levander, founder and executive director of the Center. AsAmNews is proud to be a member of the Center's Inaugural Ethnic Media Collaborative. University of Southern California

Founder & Editor Randall Yip participated on a panel on collaborations in news at the Institute for Nonprofit News Days in San Diego. He joined members of the USC Ethnic Media Collaborative and Andrew DeVigal of the University of Oregon. We had an enthusiastic and packed room. Jaya Padmanabhan and Michelle Lavender of the USC Center for Health Journalism and Andrea Igliozzi of Univision all joined me for an engaging conversation.

It's been wonderful meeting our readers and community leaders in Chicago and New York (pictured here) and in San Francisco at our AsAmNews listening sessions. Now it's on to San Diego at 6:30 p.m. at the Asian Business Association on June 11th. Hope to see you there

I was both surprised and honored that I received an invitation from the President and First Lady to attend a holiday party at the White House for the Washington Press Corp. While we don't have the reach of a NY Times or Washington Post, it's great to know that our little non-profit has the attention and respect of the White House and of the public. Please support our efforts with a tax-deductible donation. Any donation made before the end of the year is being matched dollar for dollar up to a total of $30,000. We are just under 60% of our goal. Thank you for your consideration as we know you're getting a lot of requests for donations right now.
