"Yan was the right ingredient to make the fundraiser at the Janet Gray Hayes Rotunda at San Jose City Hall a success. As the capacity crowd dined on a Chinese lunch, Yan delighted them with a demonstration of his cooking skills including boning a chicken in a matter of seconds."
"It’s a beautiful library, and it really needs your support, Yan told the crowd, which donated more than $30,000 including direct donations and winning bids on a walking tour with Yan in San Francisco's Chinatown and an eight-person dinner hosted by Yan at one of his favorite Bay Area Chinese restaurants."
"Both Bourne and SJPL Foundation CEO Dawn Coppin pointed out that the library ranks 26th out of 30 library systems in the Bay Area in per-capita local government funding. That's only $55 per person annually, compared to $202 in San Francisco, $194 in Berkeley and $154 in Palo Alto."
