MLCCC Chinese New Year Gala 2014

On January 26, 2014, MLCCC ringed in the Year of the Horse with its annual free Chinese New Year Community Gala at Great Valley High School in Malvern. The celebration drew more than 1,000 attendees from numerous communities in Greater Philadelphia. The Gala began with a two-hour Show comprised of Chinese folk dancing, Chinese instrumental music, martial arts demo, Taichi sword performance, and songs and poems by local artists and MLCCC Weekend School students. The Show was followed by a Culture Fair with a dozen hands-on cultural stations including Calligraphy, Decorating A Fan, Spinning Handkerchiefs, and more. Food and merchandise further added to the festivities. One attendee's feedback was "AMAZING job with the Chinese New Year Gala! It was phenomenal! My Daisy Girl Scout troop REALLY enjoyed themselves and learning more about Chinese culture. Amazing job- start to finish! What a wonderful WONDERFUL event! Thanks to everyone for all of your hard work and for putting on such a successful event!"
