linda ng. [applause] >> thank you, it's an honor. good morning. thank you for inviting me to be a part of today's ceremony. and the opportunity to share a few words with you. this year is a historic one, as we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of oca. [applause] thank you! oca is a national civil rights organization headquartered in washington, d.c. with 50 chapters and affiliates across the country, of which four of them are based here in the northern california. founded in 1973, as the organization of chinese-americans, oca has evolved into a truly pin asian organization, advocating for the asian and pacific islander americans. when we think about what we have accomplished over the past 50 years, the load far new year commemorated stamps stands out as a part of our efforts to promote cultural awareness and heritage. as you have all heard now, we are so thankful to jean chang of our georgia chapter and claudine chang, our former national president for their roles and visions to make the lunar new year stamp a reality over 30 so
