Want to talk about something about something besides the
usual “What’s your name?” and “What do you do for a living?”? Join
us for this series of informal chats over coffee (or the beverage of
your choice) in Orange County where you can share your opinions and
experiences and ask anything that’s on your mind in a casual setting.

This month we’re talking about two topics:
1) As an Asian American, how do you strike the balance between your
Asian side and your American side? Is being Americanized blending in
or selling out? Are Asian culture and values trendy or backwards?
Do you assimilate or differentiate?
2) With the November Special Election around the corner, we’ll talk
about the upcoming propositions on the ballot — what do you think
about them?
