On Saturday, August 21, 2010, approximately 350 people came to the 2010 Leadership Community Picnic, held at Lake Boren Park, Newcastle.
EDI led the Asian Pacific Alliance, comprised of ten organizations that serve Asian Americans in the Greater Seattle area, in planning for the picnic. The 20-member committee began planning for this year’s picnic back in January. Over fifty volunteers helped set up games, including dodgeball and volleyball, man information booths, and pass out lunches. Picnickers enjoyed gourmet Vietnamese-style sandwiches from Baguette Box and desert from Monsoon Restaurant.
"The planning team greatly appreciates the financial sponsorship of Microsoft, Prudential, T-Mobile, and Puget Sound Energy. They helped make this community event possible. I also am honored to have worked with representatives from our Asian Pacific Alliance partners. It’s been a lot of fun working with this group for months, and Saturday’s event would not have been possible without their energy and passion for leadership,” said Ador Yano, EDI board member and EDI alumnus 2004, and the Co-Chair of the Leadership Community Picnic planning committee.
“This has been the best APA picnic in my recent memory. My hat is going off to the leaders and all volunteers involved,” said Jiin-chiang Chen, who represented Boeing Asian-American Professional Association (BAAPA) on the picnic planning committee.
Washington State Senator 41st District Randy Gordon and King County Assessor Lloyd Hara were also at the picnic.
