The Bag and The Spear: An Immigrant's Perspective on Strength and Leadership

** RSVP Deadline: Sunday, May 1 at noon to allow the caterers time to prepare - no exceptions**
Please join us for an intimate discussion about the immigrant experience with Leisle and Vinh Chung, both immigrants to this country. Leisle's family story has been made into an Oscar-winning movie, Minari. Vinh's family story has been detailed in Where the Wind Leads. As proud Americans, they will share their family stories and the unique strengths that come from being immigrants.  

Today, they lead a thriving medical practice and leverage their platform to change the world. 
 

Huge thank you to our very generous hosts, Debbie & Ben Chong, for opening their home and catering the food for this gathering.
