(formerly known as Vietnamese Community of <br />Orange County) , I am pleased to submit this letter in support of the Orange County Children's <br />Therapeutic Arts Center's (OCCTAC) application to the Investing in the Artist Grant Program. <br />OCCTAC's proposed project, "Santa Ana Multicultural Family Festival" is a great opportunity <br />to celebrate cultural diversity and educate the Santa Ana community about the diverse cultural <br />and ethnic traditions in Santa Ana! <br />We are excited to partner with OCCTAC to support this Multicultural Family Festival in Santa <br />Ana and feature musical and dance performances from the Vietnamese community living in Santa Ana. <br />This unique venture is an exciting opportunity to expose diverse segments of Santa Ana's <br />population, as well as to educate the community as to the value of world music and dance, and <br />the role that the arts plays in contemporary cultural identity. <br />Also, the proposed project will serve to educate others and bring awareness of the cultural <br />richness in Santa Ana, as well as educate the Santa Ana community about the power of the Arts <br />to bring diverse communities together! <br />As a partner in the proposed project, Southland Integrated Services is committed to assisting <br />OCCTAC with the event promotion and community outreach in Santa Ana and Orange County. <br />Southland Integrated Services expresses full support for the Orange County Children's <br />Therapeutic Arts Center. We think it has the potential to reach a large, diverse segment of Santa <br />Ana's population, and to bring together diverse communities to celebrate the Santa Ana <br />Multicultural Family Festival! Thank you for your consideration of OCCTAC's proposed <br />event/project. <br />Sincerely, <br />lAwtc-� - <br />Tricia Nguyen <br />Chief Executive Officer <br />Southland Integrated Services, Inc. <br />
