The Asian American Chamber of Commerce

Business After Hours at the University of Central Florida Athletics

October 9, 2008

The Asian American Chamber Commerce of Central Florida held a unique Business-After-Hours networking event last October 9th at the recently completed Bright House Networks Stadium hosted by the University of Central Florida (UCF) Athletics.

The event included a presentation by representatives from UCF Athletics as well as
a tour of the new stadium and its facilities. UCF Athletics also provided giveaways
to the attendees that included posters and game paraphernalia. Other than the snacks and refreshments provided by UCF Athletics, AACC Member Gary Lee of Boba Tease, who has a food concession outlet at the stadium, treated attendees
with samples of boba drinks.

Guests spotted at the event include Thomas Lin of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Carlos and Maria ThurdeKoos of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, new members Mark and Mary Anne Grimme of Next Care Business Services as well as new member Coco Johnston of First American Title Insurance Company. Also in attendance was Deborah Rios Barnes of the Orlando Magic, a Dragon Sponsor of the Asian American Chamber of Commerce.

For those not familiar with the UCF Athletics, it is the program that propels UCF’s Department of Athletics. Its mission is “to provide UCF’s student athletes with an opportunity to participate in quality intercollegiate
athletics and serving as an integral component of their total educational experience”.

The AACC, which serves the Central Florida community, was established
in 1986. “AACC’s purpose is to foster networking and business
opportunities, to address the unique business needs of its members,
and to promote general visibility of the AACC members,” said President Szymanski. Membership is open to all individuals, small businesses and corporations regardless of ethnic, national, religious or other affiliation.
