A MESSAGE FROM SWFCA PRESIDENT: Dear Southwest Florida Chinese Association Members and Friends, Over the past five years, it has been my honor to serve on the Board of the Southwest Florida Chinese Association. The last two years, in particular, have given me a deep appreciation for the responsibilities and challenges of serving as President. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and serve our community. I am especially thankful for the guidance of our past presidents and for the privilege of working alongside Vice President Anne Meyer, Secretary Lily Tang, Treasurer Wendy Kuo, and board members Yi Liu (Luo-chen), Matthew Williams, Susie Kwok, John Yee, Very Yee, Jimmy Wolff, and Apple King. Their dedication and teamwork have meant so much. As my presidential term concludes this month, I step down with confidence and optimism as I pass the leadership to Anne Meyer. With her strong leadership abilities, I am certain the association will continue to thrive and expand under her guidance. I am also delighted to share that Susie Kwok has graciously accepted the role of Vice President. Anne’s thoughtful and steady leadership, combined with Susie’s energy and nonprofit experience, will make them an outstanding team to guide SWFCA forward. I would also like to express my heartfelt appreciation to all of our sponsors and community partners who have supported SWFCA throughout our term. Their generosity has made it possible for us to host meaningful events and programs for our members. Please take a moment to visit our sponsor page: https://www.swfchinese.org/sponsors.html I warmly encourage each of you to become more involved — whether by serving on the board, volunteering, or actively participating as a member. Supporting the Chinese community in Southwest Florida requires all of us working together. United, we can create a lasting impact for both our present community and future generations. Have you considered joining our board? Now is a wonderful time to step forward. Serving on the board offers opportunities to build community connections, develop leadership skills, collaborate with dedicated volunteers, and form lasting friendships. If you are interested, please email [email protected]. Finally, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all of our board members for their dedication, time, and hard work. Every member of our board serves the association on a voluntary basis without compensation, generously giving their energy and commitment to support our community. To express our gratitude to the board members and the families who stand beside them and often volunteer as well, we will be hosting a Board Appreciation Dinner at 11:00 AM on April 4, 2026, at Jingdu Japanese Buffet. Community members and friends are also warmly welcome to join us by covering their own meal expenses. Seating is limited, so please RSVP to [email protected] by April 2, 2026. Thank you all for your continued support. I look forward to seeing you at future SWFCA events. Liwen Williams President, Southwest Florida Chinese Association |
