Family Ski Trip Recap

Posted on by
Food.  Games.  Good company.  And of course skiing and snowboarding.  That’s all you really need for fun heartfelt weekend.

Jacy Chen, Chin Chih Yang, Monica Chang, David Chang, I-Shen Lin, Albert Tseng, Peihuang Chen, Yilinn Yang, Roslyn Yang, Brian Chang, Kevin Chang, Rebecca Lin, Christine Su, Jennifer Chang, Eric Chen, Emily Chen, Thomas Yu, and Godwin Chen (From left to right, top to bottom - Not shown Ray Chen)

Amid the fun and eating, Tom formally announced his resignation as Executive Director.  But it wasn’t too long before the new ED was announced.  Right then and there, Godwin Ballentine Chen was sworn into TANG’s oval office.  With the ceremonial passing of ED files from a small blue USB drive, Godwin ecstatically accepted his new leadership role as TANG’s 4th Executive Director. 

To see the rest of the photos, go to our Memories page.  If I ever find my lost camera with ski-related pics and vids, I’ll be sure to post them up.

I hope you are all getting excited for TANG Summer Camp 2010. This year’s camp theme is “Piecing Together the Future”.

2. We will be using 2 colors for Tshirt and Design (try experimenting on customink.com)
3. TANG Logo and the theme “Piecing together the future” must be on the T-shirt (will be provided to you if you email us at tangeneration.org)

Rules:
