Organized by many Chinese organizations, the 512 China earthquake candlelight vigil was held last night from 8 - 9 PM at three locations: Central Park in Fremont, Memories Park in Cupertino & Union Square in San Francisco.   Some of our BNU members participated at the Fremont or Cupertino site. 

At the Cupertino site, Yang Bin volunteered to purchase the candle, he and Lijuan and their sweet kids also helped on site candle distribution and other task, what a nice family!  Thank you very much!   

I went to Fremont, the service that took place at the beautiful lake in the Central Park was very successful. Nearly 400 people attended, including the mayor and council members of city of Fremont. All the presenters and MCs did impeccable works. All the presentations (songs, poems and Jiwen reading etc.) deeply touched the heart of every attendee. It is unforgettable.

Many thanks to our Fremont volunteers as well.  Wu/ Kanglong, Zhu/Yibing and Katherin Xiao arrived before 6:30 and helped to set up the stage and everything.   Zhu/Yibing's height was a huge asset for task like hang on the banner.  Kanglong's artist skill contributed to the beautiful candle heart.   Thank you all again!
