ACRS’ night to remember

September 27, 2008 By Northwest Asian Weekly

From the left: ACRS Deputy Director Janet SooHoo, NAAPIMHA Board President Dr. Francis Lu, ACRS Executive Director Diane Narasaki, NAAPIMHA Board Member David Ja, Ph.D., NAAPIMHA Executive Director DJ Ida, Ph.D. and NAAPIMHA Board Member Chong Suh, Ph.D.

The Asian Counseling and Referral Service (ACRS) had a benefit dinner and auction at the Seattle Sheraton entitled “Faces of Community, Masks of Tradition,” on Saturday, Sept. 13. Hosted by Lori Matsukawa, the event also featured Garfield’s Jazz Combo, a three-course dinner, a dance from Long Life Association and several silent auctions. Attendees were able to pick from lavish vacation packages, to a pig roast for 40, to a Washington sailing cruise, to a sweet dessert auction.

The National Asian American Pacific Islander Mental Health Association board flew across the country to honor ACRS and attend the anniversary dinner.

ACRS raised $200,000 that night. ♦
