Second Annual CAPAL Ball – Classy and Fun

Washington, DC – Today CAPAL threw it’s biggest bash of the night at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC with a twist – guests were encouraged to get a “personal ride” from the start up company Uber – which takes “taxi” to the new level with it’s iPhone and Android apps.

In her remarks, Doua Thor, Executive Director of Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC) called the bal the “junior prom” for Asian american movers and shakers in the DC area – as opposed to the “senior prom” thrown by the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) the night before.

CAPAL friends and volunteers were certainly dressed in their finest tonight as they muched on hors douevers of cheese and dolmas, and enjoyed all the pleasures the open bar had to offer. The event was emceed by actor and producer Brian Yang and CAPAL Chair Emeritus, Priscilla Baek. CAPAL chair Rebecca Lee, CAPAC Executive Director Gene Kim, and Mayor of Campbell, CA Evan Low also spoke.
