Our Dearest SOAR Friends:
 
The annual fund raising party of the SOAR Foundation will take place this coming May 25^th, a Sunday at a dinner at the Dynasty in Cupertino.
 
We urge your participation with more of your friends whom you believe will be good donors and supporters like yourself to SOAR.
 
In the past 13 years, your generous donations have enabled the SOAR Foundation to change the lives of close to 10,000 young students by allowing them the opportunities for their continued academic pursuits. We urge you to exert sustained and even enhanced financial support to the Foundation this year for these reasons:
 
1)   Rapid growth of number of students puts about 2,500 students in our current year scholarship portfolio.
 
2)   SOAR has extended its operation to emphasize the support of vocational school education to further our efforts in augmenting the Chinese of their “elimination of poverty” undertakings.
 
While we know we are making even better and greater use of your funds, the Foundation will also face a budgetary deficit of about $300,000 for 2008.
 
We plan to use this dinner opportunity to conduct on-site fund raising at a low key, non-pressure mode. So as to gather more charitable funds without hurting SOAR’s humble and moderate image as a soft talk persuader that we have always been.
 
Please feel free to contact Mr. Davy Kao at davykao@ca.asatound.net telephone (925)287-0094, for any questions or suggestions that you may have.  We look forward to your strong support at the party and on going.
 
 
Sincerely Yours,
