On July 3rd, 2016, Aylus Pearland, in coordination with Houston 80/20 PAC, and OCA Greater Houston planted American flags to celebrate Independence Day on Bellaire Boulevard in Chinatown.
Over the course of 5 hours, our members erected 100 flags under the heat of the sun in 95 degrees weather. While this opportunity was a good chance for our members to be involved in physical activities, it was perfect for Aylus members to give back to the community and recognize the sacrifices that bought us our freedom.
Needless to say, the best part of this event were the appraising honks that passersby gave as the drove past our toiling volunteers.
Each and every member was satisfied by their work and are willing to plant flags again next year.
The members were: Tony Liu, Kevin Chen, Han Lu, Peter Wang, William Li, Julie Zhu, Kevin Bai, Daniel Li, Hans Wang, Edward Qi, Eric Qi, Long Xiao Luo, Micah Yang, and Geoffrey Liu.
