FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: October 12, 2009
MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER
Residents across Hampton Roads' Hispanic, Chinese, Asian Indian, Africa American, and Filipino communities are joining together to host a meet and greet reception for 83rd District House Delegate Joe Bouchard on Saturday, Oct 24th, 2009, from 5:30pm-7pm, at DanceSport VA, 5721 Arrowhead Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23462. Everyone is invited. Admission is $25. Sponsorships are also still available: Host - $250, Sponsor - $100, Friend - $50.

Delegate Joe Bouchard has been reaching out to the multi-cultural communities since he won the election in 2007. Now, the communities unite to host this event. The objective is to provide an opportunity for residents in the Hampton Roads, to meet Delegate Bouchard, raise some funds and have some fun.

In the planning of this event is local NAACP Prez Georgia Allen; Beatriz Amberman who serves on Virginia's Latino Advisory Board; Louisa Strayhorn, the first African-American woman to serve on VB's City Council and School Board; Shewling Moy Wong who serves on Virginia's Asian Advisory Board; Henri L. Parks, CEO of marketing, advertising and PR firm, Titanium Productions, Inc.; artist Sylvia Nery Strickland whose work blends her Filipino, Cherokee and Caucasian heritage; Past President of Asian Indians of Hampton Roads' Association Jyoti Pal; Jenny Wong-Slaughter; and Joanne Truong.

An international smorgasbord of food delights is provided along with a ballroom dancing demonstration. Numerous area businesses are making donations for an exciting line up of Silent Auction items. And as these items are donated, 100% of your dollars spent at this event go to Joe Bouchard's re-election campaign. Many community leaders are expected to attend; some Republicans are supporting this event either with their attendance or with their donation. Congressman Glenn Nye will be the special guest. No small feat considering how busy our congressman is - a testament to Nye's regard of Joe Bouchard!

The Hampton Roads multi-cultural communities are excited to display their unity, stand up for a cause, network and have a good time.
