Dear Friends and Members:
I hope you are not discouraged at recent news that has tarnished Chinatown and our communityThe Chinese Culture Foundation remains optimistic there is another vision of Chinatown as aplace that imagines art, challenges stereotypes and nurtures philanthropy. We are a transforma-tional community at the intersection of art, education, philanthropy and community service.
Visit Chinatown now and see three new outdoor murals on Wentworth Alley and Walter U LumPlace. These murals are just the beginning of our efforts to foster dialogue and to transformChinatown into a public art space that celebrates diversity and innovation. Participate in our newArt Walk and be inspired by Chinatowns evolving identity through the lens of art!
We are encouraged by the enthusiasm of the youth being mentored by artist-in-residence XuTan, an international artist highly regarded for his interactive style of art making. He is leadinglocal teens to create art that is trans-disciplinary and cross generational. Please visit our pop-upstudio on Ross Alley to witness the making of Keywords and discover an old neighborhood wita new vision.
This summer, get ready for Summer Lees trailblazing exhibit at the CCC and Yerba Buena Cente
for the Arts galleries. Sign up for our inaugural Mandarin Summer Camp, and celebrate our big-gest party of the year, the Chinatown Music Festival on August 16. Along with our colleagues incommunity service, we are working for a vision that represents innovation, creativity and a breathof fresh air. I sincerely invite you to be part of this journey.
Warmest,
Mabel S. Teng

Wells Fargo has a long history of partnering with the ChineseCulture Foundation through the participation of their executivesand generous sponsorship. The Chinese Culture Foundation(CCF) recently had a conversation with Mario Diaz, Vice Presi-dent of the Wells Fargo Foundation, and Maggie Mui, Senior Vice
President and Director of Diverse Segments for Wells Fargo.
Q: How important is it for Wells Fargo to support theChinese community?Mario: The Chinese Community is one of the manydiverse pillars that sustain and support San Francisco.The Chinese Culture Center is a vibrant part of the SanFrancisco community and we have a rich history together.Wells Fargo values the Chinese Communitys contribu-tions over the long term--from the gold rush era to thepresent day.
Q: Which is your favorite program?Mario: Choosing a favorite program is difficult as all theprograms you offer the community are worthy. If I had tochoose, it would be educational programs for youth. The experience of discoveryis always enlightening. To see children focused on painting, drawing, and readingcan only be a positive experience for them.
Q: You have made your mark in mentoring young profes-sionals and strengthening CCCs visibility. What moti-vates you to volunteer on the board?
Maggie: Thank you for your leadership in creating somany meaningful programs to benefit Chinatown andthe greater Bay Area. The Center creates a senseof wonder and changes people lives through art andcultural education. I am honored to be on the board andinspired by all of you.
Q: How does the art inspire?Maggie: CCC has the reputation of creating innovativeprojects that are high impact. One of our artists, Hou
YuMei, a non-English speaking woman from Manchuria, won the national compe-tition to design the Central Subway Landmark Art. Justin Hoover, Jin Feng andGold Mountain Society created three public art murals transforming Chinatownsalleyways into a museum without walls.
