Hey John -
Thank you to everyone who came out to our Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month Social Hour! It was great to hear from DAAV Chair Praveen Meyyan as well as participate in an engaging rendition of AAPI-themed Jeopardy put on by AYD Community Service Director Shivani Saboo. Shivani also put together the incredible AAPI Recipe E-Book that we collaborated on with the Arlington Dems AAPI Caucus. You can check out these recipes here.
Don’t forget to join us for our House of Delegates Primary Debate for the 49th District this Tuesday, May 25th at 7 pm!
