The event attracted a diverse group, ranging from alumni who graduated in '82 to a current UMD undergraduate student, and included alumni from various backgrounds such as education, medicine and business.

On Saturday April 16th, APAAN participated in the 7th Annual Charity Wiffle-ball Tournament hosted by the Asian American Student Union. Eight teams participated with over 16 APA organizations on campus, including the Gray Phantoms team comprised of UMD alumni from classes of 2006 through 2010. APAAN raised $450 adding to the total of over $4,400 to aid the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief efforts.

As the 4th seeded team, the Gray Phantoms played every game with spirit, sportsmanship and teamwork. Although we did not make it to the semi-finals, every game was a nail-biter to the very end. Pictures from the event will shortly be posted on our website.

Thank you to all the supporters and team players who helped make this year's tournament games and fundraising efforts a success!

2011 Team Roster:
Bobby Truong (Co-Captain), Eric Chai, Junoh Brian Kim, Kumudha Kumarachandran, Silvy Song, Tommy Tang (Co-Captain), Aaron Chan, Shannon Liu, Sandra Vuong, Haomin Xu, Cathy Lin, Loretta Lee

On Thursday, March 3, 2011, the UMAA, AASU and APAAN sponsored the UMD APA Community Networking Event at the Riggs Alumni Center. Dozens of students attended and seized the opportunity to network with local organizations for volunteer, intern, and career opportunities via information tables and the "speed networking" portion of the evening.
