JOKE LANG COMEDY NIGHT

There will be a comedy night to benefit the International Hotel. Those living in the San Francisco Bay Area should know about the history of the I Hotel because it is an example of the collision between modernization and the social welfare of the elderly. In life, society and we as members of society make choices which are not often the best choice for those of us who do not have the financial werewithal to fight.

A BENEFIT FOR THE RISE OF THE INTERNATIONAL HOTEL AND THE MANILATOWN CENTER

The International Hotel was the home for many Chinese and Filipino elderly immigrants, and was the last standing block of a 10-block area that was previously known as Manilatown. From 1968 to 1977 the International Hotel Tenants Association led the defense of their home against eviction, for affordable housing, and preservation of their Chinatown-Manilatown community. The new International Hotel and the Manilatown Center will be opening in May 2005.
