1. Nancy Wang shares her journey from Taiwan to Japan to Santa Rosa in 1977 and what motivated her to found the Redwood Empire Chinese Association (RECA). Nancy describes some of the cultural activities offered at the RECA center open to the public, from dance, to chorus, to Chinese language school. RECA became a 501(c)(3) Non-profit organization and is supported by the members in the communty and donations. Nancy talks about the significance of the present Chinese Year of the Dog that is giving way in February to the Year of the Boar. Every year RECA holds a Chinese New Year Celebration and Benefit at the Veterans Memorial Building in Santa Rosa in which the proceeds fund scholarships for graduating high school seniors of Asian heritage.
About our Guest: Nancy Wang has been involved in many organizations and committees and has served on the Santa Rosa City Council Advisory Committee (CAB) for 15 years. She has been honored with various awards from city, state, federal government both personally and on behalf of the Redwood Chinese Assoc. (RECA). She is the mother of three children and six grandchildren. She is excited that her oldest grandson has started college and soon will begin a new generation to join RECA.
