The City of Charlotte's Contractor Development Program is a comprehensive program to better prepare small, minority and women owned firms to compete on City projects. Resources include technical assistance, business development, financial guidance and assistance obtaining bonding for those who participate.

Join the kick off event and learn more about this Program and how to participate!

Refreshments will be provided; Parking information will be sent via email.

UNC Chapel Hill Viet Night: “Bi Thuong”

UNC Chapel Hill Viet Night: “Bi Thuong”

Hosted by Vietnamese Student Association at NC State

We will be holding our annual Viet Nite showcase, “Bị Thương - Wounded Love.” From skits to live entertainment to delicious food! You wouldn’t want to miss the biggest VSA event! TICKETS ARE ON SALS! For members, presale tickets will be $8 and for nonmembers it will be $10. The showcase will be held in the great hall and doors will open at 5 pm!

Ticket Link: https://www.etix.com/.../unc-vsa-vietniteb%E1%BB%8B-th%C6...

This year, our theme is “Bị Thương.” “Thương” translates to love, by simply adding the word “Bị” changes its entire meaning to be injured.
Our show’s storyline will represent how oftentimes, our parents may showcase their love by pushing and comparing us to our peers, setting an indebted pressure of satisfying their high expectations. Albeit in our best interest, this love can hurt us. As an English translation, we decided to use “Wounded Love” because it shows the flaws and duality of how love can be interpreted.

Come with your family and friends for a night you won’t regret!
