History
In the year 1939, the eleven founders elected their officers and Board of Directors to formally help establish the American Civic Association, Inc.
The Founders had both practical and idealistic aims to integrate all immigrants in the community and to foster the appreciation of their diverse cultural heritages.
For nearly 100 years now, it is our promise to their goals that have kept the foundation & our founders’ dream alive.
