On Saturday, December 15, 2001, at 6:00pm, the doors of Sharon High School Gym opened to the public for the much-anticipated return of the Harlem Rockets, a comedy basketball team to take on the Sharon 'ALL' Stars. Team members included Sharon teachers, administrators, policeman, students, as well as local officials such as: District Attorney William Keating, and our State Senator Brian Joyce, former New England Patriot's Roland James, and Steve Grogan.

Alice Hui owner of Mandarin Taste in Sharon was there to support Sharon students with special education needs. Alice not only organized the food sales, served the food, but at the end of the event announced to the Sharon Special Education Parent Advisory Counsel Committee members that she was donating all of the proceeds to benefit SSEPAC.

SSEPAC uses the funds to sponsor workshops that raise awareness, and educate the community, about the uniqueness of every child.

In addition, SSEPAC gives two scholarships each year to high school students, has purchased Alpha smarts for all of the elementary schools, purchases books & tapes for it's resource library located in the High school, and has an Appreciation Awards evening, that recognizes any individual, who has done something unique, and made a positive impact on a child with special needs.

Alice Hui moved to Sharon and opened Mandarin Taste in 1989. Since that time she has absorbed herself in community service. If there is a fund-raiser or an event at a school, church, synagogue, library and the like, you can count on Alice to help. Alice's philosophy is “you should give back to the community; they support you and you support them. I like to give.”

Alice we are grateful to have you in our community!
