CÁCH CHO HƠN CỦA CHO

Today, Alan Young, BSA district director, visited our BSA troupe 179 Bách Việt at Overfelt Garden to start the fund raising event "2007 Friend of Scouting" of program "2007 A Scout's Life" for Boy Scouts of Santa Clara County that has been serving the Youth of Silicon Valley for over 80 years.

"The gift, whether large or small will make positive impact for Scouting's youth" as Richard M. Brenner, Council President stated on his letter on the brochure. Your generous gifts are tax deductible and could be any of the following levels. You will also receive the following recognition items:

1. $5000 - Benefactor ("Legacy of Honor" book and special Reception)

Please make payment to "SANTA CLARA COUNTY COUNCIL, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA". To contribute your gift, please contact your leaders Bình Lê, Quý T. Biện or Tony Mai for your recognition items. Parents are encouraged to motivate our children the spirit of gift giving and understanding of the balance of gift giving and receiving.

Our Vietnamese culture taught us "CÁCH CHO HƠN CỦA CHO" ("The giving manner is more important than the value of the gift"). Even with 25 cents or 1 dollar of gift from our children boyscout cubs, and "chim non" to any amount from us, we all can make a difference and positive impact to our children scout's life.

Here is the growing list of "2007 Friends of Scouting".

Happy GIVING!
