On May 2nd - 3rd, CNSC successfully held the 2008 Radiothon/Telethon on Sing Tao Chinese Radio and KTSF TV26, and fundraised over our $100,000 goal!

CNSC specially thank the following organizations and people for supporting our 2008 Radiothon/Telethon event as well as the community: Diamond Sponsors (above $30,000) Sing Tao Chinese Radio, Sing Tao Daily, KTSF TV26, Asia Television Limited, and Wells Fargo Bank; Gold Sponsor (above $15,000) Cathay Bank; Jade Sponsor ($5,000) Lifemark Group; and more.

The purpose of this fundraising event is to allow CNSC to provide beneficial services to the community. Our center provides multilingual services that help Chinese immigrants adapt to life in the United States. CNSC’s services mainly serves as a bridge between the two cultures, enhancing the physical, mental, social and economic well-being of immigrants, thus facilitating their efforts to become self-sufficient, contributing members of the community.

CNSC Board President Bill Lock, Executive Director Anthony Ng and staff is, again, thankful for all supporters to our 2008 Radiothon/Telethon!

Starting October 1st, CNSC will launch another citizenship program called the "Naturalization Stipend Program". Our goal is to continue our previously launched "Citizenship & Naturalization One-Stop Service", which turned out really popular, and to assist low-income seniors and people with disabilities with their U.S. Naturalization Application fee.

CNSC successfully received funds from the Asian Pacific Fund to launch the “Naturalization Stipend Program.” Through this program, all qualified low-income seniors and people with disabilities may be eligible for a $275 stipend check to help reduce their payment for the U.S. Naturalization Application. There are only 48 spaces available for this program, and will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

For more information and/or appointments, please come to our center in Chinatown (777 Stockton St. #104, San Francisco, CA 94108), or call (415) 421-2111 ext.693.
