There are also many non-Chinese-origin members who adopted children from China and wish their children keep Chinese heritage and culture. Most of the members live in Indiana (mainly greater Fort Wayne area); a few live in Ohio. The Association is administered by volunteers. The President is elected by members. Other Officers are appointed by the President. |
