"We extend our condolences and in keeping with our tradition of community outreach as we did for the victims of the South Asian Tsunami in 2004, Katrina Hurricane in 2005 and in 2008 we raised and matched over $167,000.00 for the China's Earthquake victims." Mr. Lee continues, "Coming off a strong second quarter with a profit it is only right for us to share our blessings with those suffering and less fortunate by matching every dollar donated by our employees, local businesses, individuals and organization up to $50,000. We strongly believe that the generosity of our community will make this drive more successful than previous ones."
