EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!
Asian American professionals of DC's Friendship Archway Network are actively bridging cultural, digital and other divides, creating opportunities, ending suffering, preventing poverty and building community in downtown Washington DC. We do this in many ways and this event is one way to come together, work together and succeed together!
We invite you and your friends to join Asian American professionals and people of all backgrounds interested in Asian Americans, Chinese language, Chinese Americans, US-China relations, Chinatown D.C., Asian American relations, personal, economic, spiritual and community development to come together face-to face each month. There are many new contacts at each of these community events. This is a happy and fun way to bridge cultural and digital divides and strengthen harmony and unity through humor and comedy in Wash. D.C.
This is a monthly opportunity to connect with people from this Asian American group and other social entrepreneurial community groups for enriched networking purposes on the 3rd Sundays of each month 12:30PM to 3:00PM. One-on-one conversations may continue to dinner time at One Fish restaurant. These community events are held at the same time and same location each month. Please confirm and reserve in advance if you can.
Program: there is an opportunity for participants to introduce themselves to everybody in the room after people have ordered something to eat or drink, then participants can followup with those contacts they wish to exchange name cards or interact with the rest of the afternoon.
WHEN: 12:30PM TO 2:30PM on the third Sunday of each month, at the same place and time. (You can followup with one-on-one conversations even after the program has ended at the restaurant until 4pm.)
