Details:

1. 24 Game First Round Starts This Sunday in Room 166 - Still Need Volunteer Judges
   All registered players should have received by now the email about pairing and gaming info.  Please remind your kids show up in room 166 on time.  A no show will be considered giving up and the opponent wins the round automatically.
   To those who haven’t registered yet, you are still welcome to participate in the game, but will not receive the $2 school dollars.  If non-registered players advance to the final rounds, they will still be eligible to receive the final winner school dollar prizes.
   We still need a couple of volunteer judges. If anyone can help, please come to room 166 at recess time!
   Below are the rules again:
   - If there is a grade gap between the two players, the younger student starts the game with the number of points equal to the grade gap.
   - Whoever reaches 8 points first wins the game, unless the grade gap is greater than or equal to 3. Then, whoever reaches 10 points first wins the game.
   - If you motion to answer but do not give the correct answer within the allotted time, your opponent receives the point.
   
   The awards are:
   Grand Champion: $50 school dollars
   Runner-Up: $30 school dollars
   Champion of Each Grade: $10 school dollars
   
   
2. MLCCC Chinese New Year Gala - Call for Food Donation and Volunteers
   Our 2017 Chinese New Year Gala is on Sunday afternoon January 29, right at GVHS.  The Gala includes two parts: New Year’s Show (1pm-3pm) in auditorium and Culture Fair (3pm-5pm) in cafeteria.
   Our Gala is by far the biggest event of MLCCC!  A big event needs lots of hands to make it a success, and lots of food to make it complete.
   We need adults and older children (high school or middle school students) to help with the Show (1pm-3pm in auditorium) and the Culture Fair (3pm-5pm in cafeteria), whether it is supervising a table, opening the stage curtains, selling merchandise, etc. Additionally, our Culture Fair is so popular that many young kids start trying to play the stations at around 2:15pm. So if there is anyone who can supervise stations starting at 2:15pm, that would be extremely helpful.  The tasks are very simple.  Even 1 hour of assistance from 2:15-3:15 is extremely helpful.
   No celebration is complete without food and drink. Please donate food/drink to our PTO. The Gala is also one of our PTO’s biggest fundraisers. Food can be bought from stores or homemade, and can be sweet or salty, hot or cold!
   Sign-up sheet will be at the Admin Desk. Thank you so much in advance.
   
   
3. Adults Chorus for Gala, 1pm in Room 146, Practice Together, Gala is Very Soon
   To those people interested in joining, the Gala is right around the corner!  Come and practice with other members so you are completely ready for our Gala!.  The songs will be in Chinese.  Please stop by Room 146 at 1pm. Thank you to our Chorus teacher Ms. Wen Li.

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday!
