AAJA Seattle Lunar New Year Banquet and Silent Auction

Please join us in celebrating the Year of the Horse at our annual Lunar New Year Banquet and Silent Auction!

Each year, AAJA Seattle holds this banquet to celebrate the start of a new year. The banquet is the chapter's largest fundraiser.

Silent auction proceeds will go toward the Northwest Journalists of Color scholarship, which has supported more than 100 college students since the mid-1980s.

The silent auction will feature great items from the Seattle Symphony, Teatro Zinzanni, a one-of-a-kind photo of rock legend Eddie Vedder and much more! We'll also be auctioning off some delicious cakes and pastries in our annual Dessert Dash.

This year, the banquet will be held in Seattle at *O'Asian Kitchen.

Here's a look at our menu:

O'Asian Appetizer Plate
Pea Vine Seafood Soup
Wasabi Prawns
Spring Water Poached Flanks with Julienne Vegetables
Supreme Fried Chicken
Braised Whole Fish
Satay Baby Bok Chop
Fusion Fried Rice
Fresh Fruit Plate

In addition to all of this, Seattle singer/songwriter Susy Sun will also be performing! Sun is a classical pianist and writes and composes all original music herself. After its release in October, her album, Wanderlust EP, caught the attention of national music media that have highlighted her as a shining up-and-coming artist to watch with her refreshing sound and music talent.
