Thank you for being part of the SCCLA community! Happy holidays and happy new year! . . . . #SCCLA #HappyHolidays

SCCLA thanks the many donors and volunteers who supported SCCLA and Chinatown Service Center's (CSC) 38th Annual Holiday Food Basket Drive on Saturday, December 14, 2024 in Chinatown! Over 100 volunteers from SCCLA, CSC, Chinese-American Elected Officials (CEO), Bank of America, Dodgers Asian Employee Resource Group, and United Charity Foundation met on Saturday morning in the Cathay Bank parking lot. We unloaded and sorted over 400 pounds of high-quality food items, ranging from dried mushrooms to quail eggs to chocolate. By 11am, we distributed bountiful food baskets containing 26 items to approximately 300 families served by CSC. We thank the SCCLA Past Presidents, Board Members, LA Superior Court judges, practicing and retired attorneys, law students, young children, and other community members who were among the many enthusiastic volunteers! We are touched by the generosity of the community to help families in need during the holidays. Thank you to the SCCLA team for organizing a smooth and successful event: Faith Santoso, Nadine Tan, Kenny Chung, Phoebe Hu, Jeffrey Kwong, and Christina Shay. We are proud to continue our 38-year partnership with CSC on this event, and we look forward to seeing you all next year! Happy Holidays! . . . . #SCCLA #SCCLAEvents #CSC #HolidayFoodBasketDrive

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Judge Dolly M. Gee took the SGV-3 mentorship group to the beautiful Huntington Gardens followed by a scrumptious dim sum lunch. Thank you, Judge Gee, for your continued support of SCCLA’s mentorship program! The group also celebrated its baby member and former SCCLA’s law student representative, Beverly Luu, on passing the the July California bar exam. Congrats, Bev! . . . . #SCCLA #CABarExam
