This luncheon is a chance to come together as a community, honor the voices that have shaped us, and inspire the stories yet to be told. Let's come together and celebrate the threads that unite us all! 

Get ready to celebrate as we kick off our Cultural Voices series with an unforgettable inaugural event! This year's luncheon coincides with AANHPI Heritage Month, giving us an opportunity to reflect on the threads that bind our community and shape the future. CASL has long been a cornerstone of this city, bringing voices together and fostering unity through the power of storytelling. 


Reserve your seat today and be part of this special occasion!
