LAS would like to thank the organizers and volunteers that put together the 2013 AAPI Legislative day at the Georgia capitol. Georgia has one of the fastest growing Asian Pacific Islander populations in the country, and by voicing our concerns directly to our leaders (and Voting!), we can all perform our civic duty and become better citizens in this great state!

LAS 7th Annual Charity Ball Photos and Recap
April 25, 2012
Dear Sponsors, Donors, Special Guests, and Supporters:
The Laotian American Society sincerely appreciates your generosity and support that helped make our 2012 LAS Charity Ball a success once again this year! We raised $13,000 from this year’s event, and we hope to raise even more next year!
The purpose of the LAS Charity Ball, our signature event every year, is to raise funds for our programs, ranging from the Scholarship Grants to our Natasinh Cultural Dance Program. Thanks to you, our performers entertained a packed house on April 14, 2012 at the Grand Ballroom in Norcross, and we are able continue our mission of giving back to the community and promoting education and the Laotian-American culture here in metro Atlanta.
Our College Scholarship Grants and Student Achievement awards are still going on strong, due to the diligence of our volunteers and generous corporate sponsors. Even in this challenging economy, in recent past years, LAS has given out more than $5,000 per year to Laotian-American college students and awards to children grades K-12. In the program’s seven-year history, the awards have totaled more than $30,000.
Our Natasinh Cultural Dance Program has performed at an average of 10 events per year over the past couple of years, for a total crowd of 20,000 plus. This successful program teaches the youth the importance of carrying on traditions, as well as learning teamwork, building self-confidence and cherishing one’s history and heritage.
We have recently added a new program named Lao 101, where we teach Lao language, culture, and etiquette. And of course, we also will be able to continue with our Senior Outreach Program and Youth Summer Program.
Our various partnerships continue to grow, as LAS is one of the pillars of the Atlanta Asian/Pacific Islander nonprofit community. We will continue to support our friends in this fast growing multi-ethnic community. Atlanta and Georgia overall have a vibrant Asian community that contributes so much to the tapestry of America.
One of the missions of LAS has always been to showcase and educate others on the Laotian-American culture. Unknown to most, the Laotian Diaspora is the result of political and economic emigration in the late 1970s. We began here as refugees and continue to help build this great country by giving, helping, and sharing.
From the bottom of our hearts, kop jai lai lai (thank you)!
Sincerely,
Your 2012 LAS Charity Ball Co-Chairs
Meiling Arounnarath
Elizabeth Vichathep
