This Sunday: Wing Luke Asian Museum dinner and auction
Big event this Sunday for our friends at WLAM. More information at www.winglukeauction.org.
We will be celebrating the museum's 40th Anniversary at the 2006 Annual Dinner & Auction! An expected 800 guests will be in attendance at the Washington State Convention Center on Sunday, March 12, 2006. The goal that evening is to raise $320,000 to support museum operations and valuable youth programs. We are looking forward to having the Dynamic Duo -- Jim Jungers of Stokes Auction Group and noted Thespian Kathy Hsieh -- return as our auctioneer and reader for the night.
Those who have attended the Wing Luke dinner and auction in the past know that this is where one can find exquisite, original works of art by renowned Asian American artists such as, MalPina Chan, Darlene Nguyen-Ely, Lee Sik Lim, Gerard Tsutakawa, Romson Bustillo, Roger Shimomura, and Mira Nakashima-Yarnall, to name a few. An original oil painting, watercolor, photograph, or sculpture will bring such beauty to your home! Wouldn't you just love to go home with an original Marita Dingus or Rebecca Woodhouse, or a glass piece by Benjamin Moore, or a photograph by award-winning photographers like Barry Wong, Rick Wong, or Irene Kuniyuki?
This year's Auction Committee, co-chaired by Museum Board members, Mei-Ling Woo and Casey Bui, promises many other fabulous items will be featured as well, such as a spa getaway at Semiahmoo, a river rafting trip, and yes, Oprah tickets! You can raise your bid card for airline tickets on Southwest or Alaska Air, a private wine-tasting party for ten, a romantic stay at the Galleria Park Hotel in San Francisco, or how 'bout a high-rolling stay at the Kah Nee Ta High Desert Resort & Casino in Oregon!
