Our Detroit Drop-In Center has moved
We are excited to announce that our Drop-In Service Center has moved to new offices on Woodward Avenue, close to the Wayne State University campus. Our offices are located on the 2nd floor of the Hannan House, which houses twelve other non-profit organizations.

38th Anniversary Celebration Banquet was a success

ACA held its 38th Anniversary Celebration Banquet on October 15, 2010 at the beautiful Glen Oaks Country Club in Farmington Hills.

 

Included in the over 200 guests were political dignitaries, and local government officials. DTE Energy was presented the Outstanding Corporate Excellence Award for supporting ACA. Tracey Fu, Brian Lu, R.J. Quiambao, Shirley Shue, and Anna Zhang each received an Outstanding Youth Counselor Award for their dedicated work during the 2010 Youth Cultural Summer Camp.

  

Keynote speaker, Dr. John Brender (Director of the Confucius Institute at Wayne State University), gave a lively presentation on the Institute. Musical entertainment was provided by Sean Chen and Jonathan Swift sang several renditions of some Frank Sinatra standards. The evening was capped off with dancing. A wonderful time was enjoyed by all.
