BoardOperations From: Sent: To: Subject: TUAN HUYNH Monday, May 11, 2026 9:12 PM BoardOperations [EXTERNAL] Support for Item #105 – Empowering the Next Generation via Về Nguồn To the Honorable Board of Supervisors, I am writing as a dedicated community member and volunteer to urge your full support for Agenda Item #105. Programs like the Về Nguồn Vietnamese Language School are the heartbeat of our diverse community in Santa Clara County.

By funding these programs, the Board is making a direct investment in the social fabric of our county, ensuring that cultural heritage is not lost, but rather celebrated as a source of strength and resilience. I respectfully ask that you prioritize the funding outlined in Item #105 to ensure Viet Ngu Về Nguồn can continue its essential mission for years to come. Sincerely, Tuan Huynh MD 1 BoardOperations From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Victor Le Tuesday, May 12, 2026 1:47 PM...
