I wish I had time to fly down to Orange County next week to attend and help out with the fundraising dinner for DH4. But with the glooming presence of my GRE exam in two weeks, I will lock myself up in my office and study instead.
All those down south, please support this event, come out, meet old friends!

Fourth International Vietnamese Youth Conference
Sydney, 2005
October 16, 2005
Dear honored guests, friends:
We would like to cordially invite you to attend a very special dinner to fundraise for the Fourth International Vietnamese Youth Conference, to be held in Sydney, Australia in December of 2005. The International Vietnamese Youth Conference was first organized in 1999 in Melbourne. The success of the first conference was followed by a second conference in 2001 in Paris, France, and a third conference in Southern California, USA in 2003. This year, the conference returns to Australia, to the beautiful city of Sydney on December 27-31, 2005.
The conference is organized by a worldwide network of Vietnamese youths called the Len Duong Vietnamese Youth Network. The Len Duong (which translates, to Begin a Journey) International Vietnamese Youth Network is the pivotal gathering point for many youth organizations and individuals throughout the world. Here we share ideas and collaborate on projects that aim at benefiting our homeland, Vietnam, our country of residence and humanity at large. With such visions, together, we can:
"Len Duong" with consciousness of our responsibilities and cultural identity thus enabling us to work towards the humanitarian needs of mankind, promoting human rights and democracy throughout the world and within Vietnam.
"Len Duong" with a wealth of intellectual capacities and our aspirations to serve others thus enabling us to become valuable contributors to Vietnam and to society at large.
To achieve the aforestated goals, Youths must become aware of issues concerning the Vietnamese Diaspora, as well as become equipped with the resources and skills necessary to achieve those goals. Therefore, we cordially invite you to our fundraising event; to be held on October 23rd at Paracel Seafood Restaurant (15583 Brookhurst St., Westminster, CA 92683) at 6:00 pm. The cost is only $25/person. For more information, you can go to our website at www.lenduong.net or at (714) 206-6151. Your presence and support is greatly appreciated. We hope to see you there.
Yours gratefully,
Len Duong Team of Southern California
