We have and will continue to use this fund to improve and expand the programs for our seniors including offering free annual flu shots, renting a room for their English class, and other benefits.

Details:
- MLCCC’s Annual Flu Shot Campaign - Free Shots for Seniors, Limited Availability, Non-Senior Adults Can Use Insurance or Pay $20, Room 159 3pm-5pm!
This inaugural year, we are proud to offer 10 free Flu Shots to our seniors of the MLCCC Asian Senior CAREs Center (明朗长青俱乐部). Thank you to the funding from a Penn Medicine CAREs Grant and the volunteer services of Dr. Weiguo Li of the Penn Union Medical Center (PUMC at www.wvlimd.com)! We already have 8 seniors signed up, so there are still 2 free-shot spots available.
Also, Dr. Li will bring additional doses of Flu Shots for those adults who have insurance coverage or those who would just like to pay for the shots. Dr. Li will only charge you for the Flu Shot vaccine, and not the syringe fee nor the administration fee that all other facilities would charge. Hence if you just pay for the shot, it is only $20, much less expensive than at other facilities.
In summary, the flu shots are for:
- Seniors of our community: free;
- Adults with insurance: bring insurance card, Dr. Li will charge your insurance;
- Adults who want to pay $20;
The Flu Shot will be delivered by Dr. Li in room #159 from 3PM to 5PM. Please bring a form of identification to indicate your date of birth and residency. A certificate of proof will be given after the shot with detailed information on the Vaccine.
Please reply to this email or sign up at the Admin Desk and get a timely Flu Shot and peace of mind for the Flu season!
- Moving from crowded classes to less crowded classes
We have several classes that are full and can not take any new students. In particular, our CSL Level 1 at 3pm is full and we have opened the same class at 1pm and now have 3 students. We would appreciate it if more can move to the 1pm class. Our 3pm dance class is also full, please consider to move to 2pm or 4pm class if your schedule allows.
We also have several very crowded classes. If you can move to a different time slot, that will be very helpful. Here is a list:
3pm CSL Level 1 (15 students) vs. 1pm CSL Level 1 (3 students)
3pm Kids Dance (16 students) vs. 2pm Kids Dance (5 students) or 4pm Kids Dance (9 students)
3pm Mathcounts (15 students) vs. 4pm Mathcounts (4 students)
3pm Drawing with Ms. Wang (12 students) vs. 2pm (5 students) or 4pm (7 students)
3pm Tennis (19 students) vs. 2pm (9 students) and 4pm (13 students)
- Free English Class for Grandparents is Now on @4pm in Room 147
This is offered to all grandparents of our school’s students. So join us to have some fun together, grandparents!
- No Taichi Class This Week
Due to Mrs. Shao’s unavailability, the Taichi class will pause for a week and resume the following Sunday.
- Mahjong Play in Room 166
It seems we have a good number of parents who are interested in playing Mahjong. Then come on, the game will start from this week in room 166. Again, no gambling nor any form of money involvement. Also, please be courteous to next door’s classrooms regarding noise level when playing.
