It's that time to save the date for our fantastic yearly picnic. August 9th 2008 at noon is the date to save until our bellies are full and we can't laugh any more. The various different types of food is YUMMY! Kids dance, adults dance and everyone has a ball. Last year we had Segways for everyone to try and learn. How cool is that? Where else can you sit in multiple police cars and try out the equipment? You can see in our past photos in the Pictures section of the joy everyone experiences.

We were lucky to experience the best tasting slow cooked tender roasted pig two years ago. This year we booked him early so that we wouldn't miss it! Who doesn't love pulled pork with that yummy bbq sauce? So YUMMY that my mouth is watering already! Don't miss it!

Please contact Robert May if you would like to have Bo come cook for you or click on the picture to view a .pdf format for more information!

Congratulations to our dear President Joe Luistro and his lovely wife on their wedding. Photos are available in the Pictures page.

The NJAALEOA participated in the Families with Children from China/ New York event which was held at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. Thanks to all who helped out Jamie Yeh, Alan Chow, Jose Raboy and Virginia Ng. Photos may be viewed in the Pictures page.

As the August 2008 NAPOA conference gets closer I will be e-mailing you folks details about the conference. In the weeks ahead I will be sending info about the R&R stuff to be had after classes, I will be sending detailed info about the training sessions themselves as well as other information that I hope will be helpful and useful.

Today I am happy to say that we will have three great people of National prominence that also happen to be of Asian background speaking at the conference.

Department of Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao will be in attendance. Secretary Chao was a speaker when we were in New Orleans and she spoke about a ton of things that were pertinent to us. I met a while ago the Secretary of Labor and her Dad in New York. Not only is she on top of her game with the issues, she is one mighty pretty lady.

next up at bat is a guy if you didn't know would be our uncle from your dad's side or your mom's if you wish. Former Dept of Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta will be present at the conference.

Secretary Mineta's demeanor and presence is such he has easily moved over the political lines with no problem. He is a people person and I hope he as well as the pretty lady I mentioned above will have the chance to meet you all.

This is almost a done deal, but I am sure he will be at the conference as he is a very long time supporter of NAPOA. Dr. Henry Lee will be in attendance and he has a new supply of pins to give out. I met with Dr; Lee on several occasions and each and everyone was a memorable one.

He is engaging, a great talker and as the other two are Nationally known. He is our NAPOA uncle.

Elaine Chao...... Norman Mineta......... and Henry Lee........ Three prominent Asian Americans will be in attendance at the 2008 training conference. The only thing missing right now is you..

The child safe network has updated its website and continues to offer free ID kits for kids. It should be noted that the listed of registered sex offenders may reside in your jurisdiction or surrounding areas or within your residence. Something to think about. You have to go through some promotions before you actually get to the offender site but well worth it. The website is www.childsafenetwork.org.
