NJ Earthquake Relief Fund to Help Victims of Turkey-Syria Earthquake
OCA-NJ Board President Henry Lee, Vice President Eric Chau & Treasurer Jenny Lee stopped by Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh's office on March 1, 2023 to present a $500.00 donation check from our chapter to the NJ Earthquake Relief Fund where 100% of all donations will benefit victims of the Turkey-Syria earthquake!
Mayor Sayegh worked with many local leaders & organizations to promote & coordinate relief efforts to help the earthquake victims in the past 2 months since the earthquake happened. Here are just some recent articles on his efforts: NJCDC NJ.com Tap Into Paterson

OCA-NJ Mourns the Loss of Virginia Lou Ng
It is with deep sorrow and regret that we must announce the sad news that OCA-NJ Chapter Advisor, Virginia Lou Ng, passed peacefully this morning. Our grief is buoyed by the legacy she left behind. Virginia was a longtime leader and supporter of OCA-NJ and the entire OCA national organization. She touched many lives through her friendship, her leadership, and her advocacy. She has mentored and inspired so many, and we feel blessed to have been part of her journey. Rest in Peace Virginia, you will be missed.
