Hey TASCC members and friends,
Understanding that the City of Tucson's budgetary process has rendered our Sister City program a death-blow, I think now is a good time to take a deep breath and move forward in expanding our Central Asian connection with Almaty, Kazakhstan. Knowing that it takes money to run a program such as ours, I have been exploring ways in which TASCC can extend it's outreach to programmatic issues there.
The information (click here to view the PDF document) has been generated by Mia Hansen, Tucson's patron saint and 'endless-energy representative' of the changing Tucson Festival scene, "Head Chef" of Tucson-Meet-Yourself AND in conjunction with the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center,. busily trying to salvage and improve Tucson's festival atmosphere.
Central Asia, home of Tucson's beautiful sister city of Almaty, Kazakhstan fits very well into the plans for this first annual "Taste of Asia" festival.
Our committee asks your help and support for this festival, April 30 through May 1 of this year.
With proper planning, and an indication support from you, TASCC is in a position to make stay financially healthy and continue to support projects in education, culture and economic development in Central Asia. Being a part of "Taste of Asia" sounds exciting.
Please let me hear from you with indications of support in moving our sister city program forward to the next level of involvement in Kazakhstan.
Warm regards,
Jerry M. Gary,
