(News from this website) On May 8, 2013, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton and city management chief David Cavazos and a group of five people were invited by Chinese overseas leaders Deng Chaoju and Gao Zhizhong to come to the Senior Citizen Association to experience the Chinese food here. Senior Citizen Association Chairman Deng Qingfen and nearly a hundred Chinese elderly friends had a friendly exchange with the mayor and his staff about the food in the senior center. Both the mayor and the elderly members of the Senior Citizens Association think the current Chinese food is very delicious. Elderly friends say that this kind of lunch is very consistent with their eating habits.

Phoenix City Mayor Stanton praised the delicious Chinese food

Speaking of this lunch, we have to start from the end of last year. Due to tight municipal budgets, the Phoenix city government decided to let a catering company be responsible for delivering lunches to senior centers. The Senior Citizens Association was originally funded by the city government and had its own cooking team. Then elderly friends can eat Chinese food that suits their appetite. However, once a catering company takes over the food cooking and distribution tasks, it means that the Chinese cooking team will be disbanded and everyone will eat the same Western food. The Senior Citizens Association found Deng Chaoju, the overseas Chinese leader, and Gao Zhizhong came to negotiate with the city government about the lunch issue of the Senior Citizens Association. After many rounds of negotiations, the city government finally agreed to ensure that the elderly in the Chinese Senior Citizens Association can continue to eat Chinese food. So the food contractor was asked to hire a Chinese chef to cook Chinese meals and deliver them to the Senior Citizens Association. However, after a period of budgeting, the contractor felt that the cost was too high, so the contractor was willing to hire the original Senior Citizens Association's own cooking team to be responsible for the food of the Chinese Senior Citizens Association. This time Mayor Reg came to experience the Chinese food at the Senior Citizens Association. The mayor said he thought the food here was delicious and hoped to mobilize more ethnic minorities to participate in municipal management.

Sharing Chinese food

In order to express her gratitude to the mayor for being considerate of the eating habits of our ethnic minorities and continuing to support bringing delicious lunches to the elderly, the 92-year-old Qiyinghui lady also folded a big boat and gave it to the mayor, wishing him smooth sailing in his career.
