2nd Annual Hike & Brunch at Piestewa Peak
The morning hike at Piestewa Peak followed by a brunch at Vincent’s
Camelback Farmers’ Market was a worthwhile experience for
everyone. We had a dynamic and fun group of 20 people that participated
in the event. The hike was a moderate difficulty level, and everyone
motivated each other to reach the top of the resting area. Once
we reached our destination spot, it was time to wind down and
mingled with other members and non-members. Afterwards, we had
brunch at Vincent’s Camelback Farmers’ Market. There
were fresh produce, pastries, and delicious food made to order.
We were like one big family sharing our meals, talking and laughing
– everyone was in good company! On a personal note, it was
my day of discovery since I have never hiked on one of the trails
at Piestewa Peak nor have I shopped at Vincent’s Farmers’
Market. For me, it was a well spent Saturday morning doing the
scenic hike at Piestewa Peak and making new friends.
I first heard about NAAAP through Jason Wong, the President
of NAAAP about six months, and this year I finally have time
to attend some of the events organized by NAAAP. The first event
that I had attended was the Kick-Off Celebration at C-Fu Gourmet
Restaurant last month. I was impressed by the professionalism
and dedication of the board members for making NAAAP a wonderful
organization to join for the like minded individuals that are
looking for something more than just doing business to business
networking; more importantly to establish friendships and camaraderie
within the Asian American communities. I am a first generation
Vietnamese, and although I grew up in the states since I was
6 years old, I never forget my roots that I was an immigrant
and my parents have made many sacrifices for my siblings and
I to have a better life. For this reason, I want to volunteer
my time to help those that are in need, and NAAAP is a well-balanced
organization that not only focuses on our career developments,
but they also focus on doing philanthropic projects for the
community.
