LA WELCOMES YOU.

The LA Lodge is honored to welcome Brothers, Sisters, and families from across the globe for a weekend that reflects the energy, creativity, and leadership of our community.

Chinese Americans have significantly contributed to the fabric of Los Angeles, playing a crucial role in its history and an increasingly important part in its present and future. Chinese and Asian Americans, in general, have led in culture, entertainment, technology, government, economic vitality, and the social fabric of this trendsetting major American city. 

The activities, venues, and programs we organize for the 4-day Reunion will showcase and celebrate the impact of Chinese and AAPI communities. From featuring the best culinary talent in America and highlighting beautiful and iconic landmarks in the city, to being entertained by nationally renowned entertainers and celebrities, and visiting exclusive clubs, each event will reflect our vibrant contributions.

The LA Lodge can’t wait to welcome you. Let’s make this one to remember.

We will be staying at the Bonaventure Hotel: 404 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90071. The Bonaventure Hotel is a landmark in L.A. and its iconic design has graced the DTLA skyline for more than 50 years. It is owned by Peter Zen, a well known Chinese American business leader who is recognized business and civic leader in California.

The LA Reunion starts on Thursday, August 28th with our Welcome Reception and ends Sunday, August 31st with our Gala at The Biltmore Los Angeles. Join us on Monday, September 1st for a Dim Sum lunch.

Early bird tickets registration ends Friday, June 6th.

Frequently Asked Questions

✈️ International Guests - Read before entering the U.S

LA LODGE WELCOMES YOU TO THE FF LA 2025 REUNION
To our international brothers and their families: please review the information below to ensure a smooth and stress-free arrival in the U.S.

1. ENTERING THE U.S. –YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO BE FLAGGED

Don’t be alarmed by the headlines. The facts:

  • Fewer than 2% of total travelers are stopped at the airport.

  • If you have no criminal, fraud, or pro-Palestinian activism history, you’re unlikely to be flagged.

2. BRING PRINTED DOCUMENTATION TO REDUCE ANY RISK

Each person in your party should carry:

  • Round-trip flight confirmation

  • Hotel reservation(s)

  • FF LA Reunion event ticket(s)

  • Clear daily itinerary of your trip

  • Proof of financial means (bank statements; do not carry over $9,000 in cash)

  • Proof of ties to your home country:

    • Employment letter, business registration, property deed, or tax returns

  • Proof of family relationships:

    • Birth certificates for children

    • Marriage certificates for spouses
      (Important if one person is let in and another is stopped)

3. EMERGENCY IMMIGRATION SUPPORT
Jane Oak – FF’s On-Call Immigration Attorney

In the very unlikely case you are stopped, LA Lodge is paying a retainer for immigration attorney Jane Oak* to be available on call in case any international brothers and families run into immigration issues as they fly into LAX to attend the Reunion.

4. IN THE UNLIKELY CASE YOU ARE PULLED ASIDE: ASK FOR DEFERRED INSPECTION

If you are pulled aside by Customs Border Patrol (CBP):

  • You have the option to politely ask for “deferred inspection.”

  • This means CBP will parole you into the U.S. temporarily, and schedule a follow-up appointment at a local CBP office.

  • This allows you to leave the airport, gather documentation if needed, and receive legal help from Jane Oak.

  • CBP will take your passport and give you a notice of when and where to appear.

  • Asking for deferred inspection shows cooperation and usually reduces suspicion.

  • Once out of the airport, call Julian Chan at 310-995-9006. Julian will help you contact Jane.

Important Notes:

  • You cannot make phone calls while in Customs Border Patrol (CPB) custody

  • Lawyers cannot intervene or enter CBP areas

  • You are allowed to leave the country at any time. However, if you leave before completing the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) process, your visa may be canceled without prejudice, and future visa applications may become more difficult.

We look forward to welcoming you. Please travel safe and reach out to the LA Lodge Reunion Team if you have any concerns.

*Jane Oak is a Certified Legal Specialist in Immigration Law by the State Bar of California and has been practicing immigration law exclusively for the past 25 years. She is the principal attorney of the Law Offices of Jane Oak & Associates, which employs 5 attorneys and 9 support staff. Jane graduated with a J.D. from the UCLA School of Law in 1998. She has published many newspaper articles and has given numerous seminars on immigration law. Her law firm is one of the highest-rated and most-reviewed immigration law firms on Yelp and Google.

The hotel offers on-site parking. We've negotiated group parking rates to $38/night from the standard $52.

Event venues will either offer parking or be accessible via Reunion buses or rideshare. 

🏨 Hotel & Lodging

IMPORTANT: Although the hotel may state you can cancel up to 1–2 days before check-in, our Reunion contract is different.

Cancellations after August 1, 2025 will result in charges to the Reunion for vacated rooms. If you cancel after that date, you may be held responsible for those charges on a prorated basis.

Reunion hotel contracts require us to commit to a specific number of rooms. Late cancellations hurt the group financially — past events have seen $10K–$15K in penalties. To avoid that, we’ve negotiated a cutoff date with the hotel. After that date, we cannot reduce our room block.

Please finalize your plans before our cutoff date. Changes after that may incur charges, even if the hotel doesn’t bill you directly.

🎟 Tickets & Refunds

You may cancel your Reunion ticket for a full refund up until August 1, 2025.
