Asian Pacific American Association (APAA)

In the News

APAA welcomes the "Year of the Ox"! 

Keeper of tradition, the Ox maintains a classic and sophisticated style. Iron-willed, they remain true to their beliefs. A strong leader, their hard work and dedication are an inspiration to all. Ox people never stray from their chosen path.  (Born in 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009.)

The APAA Board wishes all its members, friends and their families a Happy 4707!  May the New Year bring you and your family happiness, good fortune, and prosperity!
