Dear Members and Friends,

The Chinese Culture Foundation would like you to join us for what promises to be anextraordinary journey to spark intercultural discovery.

Over 60,000 people came to experience thought provoking art and history come alive

this year. 7 million visitors joined us in a global dialogue online. The community isparticipating in the art and cultural renaissance in an unprecedented way.

One of 2013s milestone is the establishment of the Him Mark Lai Learning Center endowed by Laura Lai andDr. Rolland and Mrs. Kathyrn Lowe. As the communitys engagement and education hub, over 120 Bay Areafamily members journeyed to Locke and in the Sacramento Delta in an inaugural Roots California expedi-tion. We met the family of Wallace Chan, whose family have grown and distributed Bartlett pears and otherproduce in Courtland since 1880.

Another 2013s milestone is seizing the opportunity to spark discovery on national and international levels.Recent exhibitions, The Moment for Ink, WOMEN and Curiosity Box represent a remarkablecollaboration of arts organizations to connect the City with Miami, New York, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Hong

Kong. We have also expanded beyond traditional art spaces, participating at the Madrid LGBT film festival.We are extremely proud of our historical collaboration with ARTstor. Art scholars all around the world are nowable to access work on Chinese American artists at the same level as Picasso, Jackson Pollock and others.

Your support also enables youths and immigrants from low income families to connect by participating indrumming, silk screening, digital story-telling and ballroom dancing.

The success of the Chinese Culture Foundation belongs to you and the community. Thank you for being apart of history making.

Please consider making a year-end contribution by returning the donation form.All proceeds will go toward the community programs that you designate.

We thank you for your past support and your consideration today. Happy Thanksgiving!

Mabel S. Teng

I was born into, and I am privileged to supportthe foundations important work as an adult!

I was first introduced to the Chinese Cul-ture Foundation, in my teens, by my parents,Howard and Kay Seeto, who was one of the

early founders of the Foundation. I am glad tosee how the Foundation has grown in impor-tance over the years, not only to the ChineseCommunity at large, but is known worldwidewith traveling art and culture exhibits. I amhonored to join the board and to continue thelegacy and vision that my parents started overforty years ago.

Michael Sullivan, dear friend to the Chinese Culture Founda-tion, passed away in September 2013. This year, Sullivan gavehis last public US lecture, and took part in a tribute dinner forthe Moment for Ink exhibition here at the Center.

As Professor Ling Chi Wang asserts, Sullivan introducedthe history of Chinese art to the Western world and foreverchanged the writing of the history of art. Before Sullivan, theWestern world did not know nor understand Chinese painting

Michael Sullivan was a trailblazer in the arts and we at theChinese Culture Foundation are indebted to his work andlegacy. We will honor his work, paving the way for interculturadiscovery in the arts. We will truly miss him.

I am astonished at the achievements of the Foun-

dation. I could see you are attracting far more

support and involvement in the community.--Michael Sullivan, about his visit

to the CCF in March this year
