Program

When the Silicon Valley Lions Club was founded almost 6 years ago, the founding chartered members had one vision in common: improving our neighborhoods through promoting health, personal development, technology, and environmental awareness. We have spent our whole lives accumulating wealth and now it is time to give back.

We want to set an example for our family and friends, to show that we can come together and work towards change in the greater community.

Our first initiative came after discussing with chartered members and peers. We realized that almost everyone knows someone who suffers with hepatitis B infection, and in cases of an acute onset, family and friends who passed away from the infection. With how prevalent the disease is we knew then that campaigning to raise awareness for hepatitis B is a goal we can rally behind.

During our first fundraiser event in 2017, we pledged and became a gold sponsor for Asian Liver Center of Stanford University, a check in the amount of $10,000 was received

by Dr Samuel So, also a chartered member of our club.

Our subsequence initiate came from our current members and families suffering from diabetes. Our very own foundation member Christine Young lost her fight with diabetes right after her member induction ceremony with our club in 2016. Some were lost during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our new direction coincides with the International vision of diabetes drive which was announced in the centennial convention in 2017.

I would like to urge all attendees at today’s ceremony to support our new leadership to create a new direction and become active contributors and collectively raise awareness and funds needed for this course.

Please join me in making this new administration a success!

Dr Reuben K Chen Charter President 2015-2017 Immediate Past President 2020-2021

As a Lions member, we serve the needs of our communities and the world through 48,000 lions clubs and 1.4 million members across 210 countries. I am fortunate to be one of the chartered members of the Silicon Valley Lions Club and to serve our community for those who needed. I am honored to be the Club president for the years 2017 – 2020 and participated in the 2017 Centennial Celebration of the Lions Club International in Chicago. Together with our club members, we raise fund for the Asian Liver Center of Stanford University, and for the Hepatitis B Awareness program in the Peninsula. We donate and serve food to the homeless in the local community church kitchen regularly. During the pandemic, we donate masks and face shields to the front line professional and help deliver food to the elderly in our community.

It doesn’t matter how big or small your contributions are, what matters most is to make a difference to someone else’s life, and that should be our primary goal.

We are a Family of LIONS Our Motto is WE SERVE We serve through TEAMWORK We serve from our HEART

Our ATTITUDE determines our ALTITUDE

Asia Kan President 2017-2020 District 4-C4 Zone Chair R4-Z2 LY

Welcome to the 2021 Silicon Valley Lions Club (SLVC) installation ceremony. This past year has been challenging for all of us. The key to our Lions club success is through leadership, commitment and most importantly, team work.

First of all, I would like to express appreciation to our Founder and Immediate Past President, Lion Dr. Reuben K. Chen for inspiring us to serve the community. A special thanks to Lion Asia Kan who served as President from 2017-2020. We are also grateful for the support and guidance from Past District Governor Macy Mak, Past Council Chair, Emil Kantola, Lion Yvonne Kantola, and Lion Michael Chan.

I also like to give kudos to Lion Rose Chung and the Asian America Foundation, host of the Miss Asian Global Pageant and Imagine Talks for your love and support. SLVC has been matching the proceeds from the sale of the Miss Asian Global program book up to $1,000 to be donated to the Hep B Awareness Campaign. We look forward to more collaborations together.

Although I have been a Lion since 2015, I still feel like a Cub eager to learn from my mentors and fellow Lion members. What attracted me to Lions Club is Reuben Chen who provided me the opportunity for further leadership development by contributing to the formation of the organization. I am very proud to be part of a worldwide organization whose purpose is defined by our motto, “We Serve.” Doing the small things is as important as doing the big things.

I have three goals for my term: 1) We will triple our membership. 2) We will collaborate with other organizations to create fun charitable events. 3) We will continue promoting HepB awareness.

I am excited and honored to embark with my cabinet members, Jeff Sheibels, Annie Chen, Mary Koo, Reuben Chen, and Asia Kan. We look forward to rolling up our sleeves to serve!

LET THE WORLD HEAR US ROAR!

Mr. Vincent Ma President Silicon Valley Lions Club (SLVC) Dear Mr. Ma: Congratulations on being elected to be President of SLVC 2021-2022! We are proud of your commitment to serve with enthusiasm, compassion and teamwork.

You have been volunteering for more than two decades for Asian American Foundation. Your role as President of Miss Asian Global Pageant led to greater community involvement and collaborations that have brought the event to a higher standard. We also appreciate your role as Co-founder of Imagine Talks to extend the pageant’s women empowerment program with a focus on entrepreneurship, innovation, technology and the arts which have made a significant impact in the lives of our participants.

We appreciate that SLVC matched Miss Asian Global Pageant’s funds to support the HepB Awareness Campaign over the years. We have confidence that your leadership of SLVC will be successful and continue to make a positive difference in our community. As the motto of Lions Club is “We serve,” Asian American Foundation believes “We rise by lifting others!”

Vincent, We Support You! Sincerely,

Rose Chung Founder

We strive to inspire the leaders of tomorrow to serve local and global communities, by promoting health, personal development, technology, and environment awareness

through volunteering for the benefit of the general public.

Our focus is how we can use medicine and technology to benefit the commonwealth population. Thus far, we have partnered with the Asian Liver Center from Stanford University and are currently developing projects with them.

The Asian Liver Center specializes in raising awareness for the silent killer, Hepatitis B, within the Asian and Pacific Islander community. Hepatitis B is the most common serious infection of the liver and can lead to premature death as a result of liver cancer or liver failure and kills more people than HIV. One in ten Asian and Pacific Islanders lives with chronic hepatitis B, but most people who are infected, are not aware of the fact. One in four who is living with chronic hepatitis B will die from liver failure or liver cancer. However, preventative measures can be taken with appropriate monitoring and treatment.

Though this is more prominent in Asians and Pacific Islanders, it also affects other ethnicities as well. About 1.6 million people in the US have chronic hepatitis B, and almost half of those cases originated in America. Hepatitis B is transmitted through the same means as HIV; through mother-to-child infection, wound-to-wound contact, sharing razors or

We plan to branch out to other organizations in the future as well. Though we are a new club, we are very excited to begin helping the community through health and technology. We hope to show people that there are a lot of underrated health related issues that affect the general public, and inspire others to join our cause. We are very passionate and dedicated to giving back to our community, and we are eager to see what is in store for this club.

As a result, the Silicon Valley Lions Club will act as a platform for this cause to promote the message Asian Liver Center has to share. We plan to help by organizing fundraisers to help fund research, arranging seminars to raise awareness and educate the masses, providing screenings and vaccinations, and much more.
