Asian American Journalists Association

Mark your calendars for Saturday, Sept. 18 and join us for a fantastic
fundraiser to raise money for student journalism scholarships!

AAJA SF and Comcast will present East West Clicks, a silent auction
featuring images produced by our talented local photojournalists and
photographers. The event will include other silent auction items such
as hotel packages and jewelry as well as food, wine, entertainment and
the debut of a new cookbook featuring recipes from some of the Bay
Area’s top Asian chefs.

It's all for a good cause. East West Clicks raises money for the
chapter's scholarship program, which this year is awarding a combined
$10,000 to five outstanding student journalists.

East West Clicks is 6-9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18 at SOMArts, 934 Brannan
St. in San Francisco. For more details including tickets, click on the
"East West Clicks" page on the right.

Summer is here and what better way to celebrate than with AAJA SF!
