Hyphen and the Oakland Asian Cultural Center (OACC) present the fourth annual Mr. Hyphen competition on November 14, 2009, celebrating the men of the Asian American community. Each year, Hyphen and OACC celebrate Asian American men who devote themselves to worthy community causes. While structured like a pageant with rounds of talent, fashion and Q&A, Mr. Hyphen turns stereotypes on their heads in front of a sold-out crowd. Striking a blow for equal-opportunity all-in-good-fun ogling, Mr. Hyphen is an energy-filled evening of fun and charity. Rounds will be decided alternately by an audience vote and by an illustrious panel of judges. The man who is crowned Mr. Hyphen wins a $1000 cash donation to his nonprofit organization.
Saturday, Novermber 14, 7 – 10pm
Oakland Asian Cultural Center

Step up and walk with the AACI team to support our HIV program and the fight against HIV/AIDS at the 2009 Walk for AIDS Silicon Valley!
The walk will take place Sunday, October 18th from 10am – 12pm in San Jose.
It’s FREE to walk, but please help us raise money if you can! Every dollar counts.
We are walking to raise funds for AACI’s HIV program, one of only two non-clinical HIV testing sites in the county and the only program targeting the Asian American community. With the current state budget elimination of HIV education/prevention funding, the program needs support now more than ever.
TO REGISTER:
1. Sign up at our AACI team website: http://tiny.cc/AACI_AIDSwalk
2. Choose Asian Americans for Community Involvement under AGENCY DESIGNATION (100% of the funds you raise will be donated directly to the AACI HIV Program. If AACI is not designated, funds will be divided among the nine benefitting agencies.)
REGISTRATION IS FREE! THE FIRST 50 ONLINE REGISTERED WALKERS WILL RECEIVE A FREE API AIDS AWARENESS T-SHIRT.
If you have any questions or would like more details, please contact:
Mark Molina at 408.975.2730 x 183 or Sedora Tantraphol at 408.975.2730 x 114.
Please see our flyer! Please invite friends & family to walk with you and thank you for your support!
