Hey Bay Area... The monthly APA community issues dinner series Third Thursdays kicks off the new year with its latest panel, "How I Helped Save the World." The point, hopefully, is to inspire people to get involved with the social causes that they care about, featuring speakers who have done just that: Le Tim Ly (liberationink.com), Alice Ng (www.animalsasia.org) and Villy Wang (baycat.org). This Thursday, January 18th at the Japanese Cultural & Community Center in San Francisco. For more information about the event, go here: How I Helped Save the World
