May is Asian Pacific Islander month!  

Asian Pacific Islander month  isn’t about going to the nearest Chinese restaurant and watching an old Kung Fu movie at home (although those are always fun!)- it’s about learning about the history, traditions, and people who make up this part of the American people .  Every person’s story and experience is different, and that rich history has helped to make the USA diverse and strong!

 To help celebrate, we’ll be featuring each active team member this month, starting today.  We’ll also have some trivia and links to other sites posted.

 To kick things off, here is the Presidential Proclamation for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (dated April 30, 2013):
