On July 3, the Vietnamese Youth Convention had their 3rd conference at California State University, Long Beach! This three day event that occurs only once every three years, attracting Vietnamese youths from all of the United States and many parts of the world to gather, learn from one another, share their experiences, and celebrate their faith.

Many of the shirts you see in the video were printed and sponsored by DTNtech. We’re glad to have been a part of this historic event.

In accordance with Vietnamese New Year, DTN Tech is pleased to part of the annual Tet Festival in Garden Grove. Come visit us at our booth next to Wells Fargo for some free t-shirts and goodies! For more information go to: www.tetfestival.org.

In our last blog we mentioned that DTN Tech is all about being inspired….and what better way than to learn from the Ox itself? The Ox creates prosperity from hard work and fortitude. Though quiet and caring, the Ox can also be strong-minded, stubborn, and individualistic. The Ox is not an extravagant creature, preferring not to take risks with things such as credit cards and debt.

Now that you know a little more about the Ox, come celebrate with us this weekend at the Tet Festival and get inspired! The DTN Tech teams looks forward to seeing you.  

 

On Sunday, October 19, 2008, over 15,000 people rolled out of bed in the wee hours of the morning to attend CHOC Walk. Of those 15,000 people, forty people were from the DTNtech marketing team! We strolled through Disneyland & Disney California Adventures with families who were touched by CHOC and the classic Disney characters.

With an initial goal to raise at least $500 for the CHOCWalk, I’m happy to say that we surpassed the goal and raised $2,000 in support of the Children’s Hospital of Orange County! Congratuations TEAM!!

Thank you all our supporters who came out to WALK and those who fundraised for this great cause. Amongst those walking in our team included Linh Ho, candidate for the City of Garden Grove Councilmember (check out http://www.votelinhho.com and remember to VOTE!!). The makeup of the group included Key Clubbers from Los Amigos High School, St. Callistus Church, CSULB, CHOC affiliates, and more! We were happy to see the team shirts we printed for other teams at the CHOC Walk, as we are all in this cause together. Thank you to FiveStars Dental, Royal Property Services, and OC BodyWorks for your additional contributions!

DTNtech stood out amongst the crowd in our Jade Green shirts, showing our team spirit for the Children’s Hospital of Orange County!

Each walker received a goodie bag with a fancy DTNtech water bottle, DTNtech tshirt and a CHOC shirt, $50 gift certificates, coupons, and pens inside DTNtech’s new “LIVE TO VOTE, VOTE TO LIVE” Go Green Tote Bag!

Lucy, Dominic, and Scott model the shirt designed by Liz and printed by DTNtech (of course!)

Elisa is knocked out after the Walk; having to wake up at 5:30am on a Sunday can be grueling when you’re trying to balance a social youngperson’s life!

Here’s a pose by our main benefactors, Serena & David! A post-Walk celebration luncheon was hosted by the DTNtech team. It consisted of David’s famous steak, chicken, salmon, and spicy louisiana hot dogs with the right complements to them all!

Again, thanks to the forty team members who came out last Sunday. We try to be socially responsible and together, we make a difference!
