MLCCC Chinese New Year Gala 2013
On February 10, 2013, MLCCC ringed in the Year of the Snake with its annual free
Chinese New Year Community Gala at
Great Valley High School in Malvern. The celebration drew nearly 1,000 attendees
from numerous communities in Greater Philadelphia. The Gala began with a Show in
the auditorium comprised of Peking Opera, Chinese folk dancing, Chinese instrumental
music, martial arts demo, and songs and poems by local artists and MLCCC Weekend
School students. The Show was then followed by a Culture Fair in the cafeteria with
a dozen game/craft stations and prizes for children, and cultural exhibits for adults.
The festivity was further enhanced by a variety of Chinese snacks, foods, ice cream,
and merchandise. "Wonderful performances!" "Beautiful costumes!" "Felt like I was
back in China!" were some of the exclamations of merriment. Everyone had a fantastic
time!
