Letter from FAPA National President, Bob Yang in the Wake of Typhoon Morakot Devastation

August 12, 2009

Dear FAPA Members:

Many of you are eager to help with Taiwan's flood relief effort. FAPA is ready to facilitate this urgent task immediately. Please send in your contribution as follows:

1. Make your check payable to "TAA-USA". This is tax-deductible.

2. Write "Flood Relief" in the note section of your check.

3. Mail your check to the address below:

Formosan Association for Public Affairs

552 7th St. SE

Washington, D.C. 20003

I have been working with the leaders of a number of Taiwanese-American organizations. The Taiwanese Association of America (TAA-USA) will serve as the coordinating body for us all. The money collected will be given to the southern counties in Taiwan where the flood damage has been most severe. While the details are yet to be worked out, our assistance will be aimed directly at the victims of this disaster. TAA-USA is a 501(C)3 tax exempt entity. Therefore your donation is tax-deductible.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Our brothers and sisters in Taiwan need our help now. Please be a true friend. Send you donation now. Thank you.

Bob I. Yang,

National President - FAPA
