Tony Yunlong Sun on Fundraising: Well, most of us have been in the US for a while, most of time, we hear "money makes the world go around", as in old Shanghai "money pays the demon to push the mill around"...I definitely believe we have enough alumni in southern calif who would like make contributions to raise the name of "Baida" as a mater dei here across the Pacific Ocean. When the flag of Beida is up, deep in our hearts, we know something more important than money is up, our pride, our achievements as creme de creme of Chinese in our golden years. In the year of mouse , we'll do whatever we can to nibble up all the funds to keep the flag flying up high...
