VIP Reception for Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan

A VIP reception with author and AAJA member Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan

Friday, June 10, 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

Location: The Madrona home of Terry Tazioli, host of TVW's "Author Hour"

We'll be eating late-night snacks with Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan at a VIP reception immediately after her book reading at Elliott Bay Book Co. In Singapore, we call the midnight snack siew yeh. You're invited to siew yeh with Cheryl after her reading Friday!

You'll get personalized cooking tips from Cheryl and the New York Fashion Week style forecast straight from the one-time InStyle magazine editor.

All attendees will receive a signed copy of a new special recipe designed for Seattle foodies by Cheryl that is not in her book. You'll also be able to purchase autographed copies of her new book at the reception.

It's all for a great cause. Proceeds from the reception will benefit the Founders Scholarship program for the nonprofit Asian American Journalists Association Seattle Chapter.

We will also be selling tickets at Cheryl's book reading at Elliott Bay Book Co. at 8 p.m. on June 10.

AAJA members get in for $25. Non-AAJA members pay $40. These prices do not include Brown Paper Tickets' service charge.

A big thanks to Elliott Bay Book Co. for its support: It's donating 10 percent of sales of Cheryl's book to the Founders Scholarship.

Each year, AAJA Seattle awards scholarships to outstanding young people pursuing their dreams in journalism. For details on this year's awards reception (June 7), visit aajaseattle.org.
