Like a tree, one needs roots to thrive.

Our Taiwanese heritage will always be a part of who we are, but we hold a unique perspective because we soak up the culture and qualities of the American environment around us. We aim to share in the self-discovery of Taiwanese Americans reaching their roots, both in Taiwanese and US soil. But while reaching down, we must also branch out to cultivate a united Midwestern community.
