According to DCCA records, two more long-time Lin Yee Chung Association (LYCA) Trustees have resigned under the tenure of LYCA President Charles Wong.  Of note, both these now-former LYCA Trustees previously provided campaign donations to Councilmember Calvin Say (perhaps in violation of LYCA Bylaws). LYCA is now down to only eight remaining Trustees.
