MLCCC 2017-02-10 news letter
Dear Parents,
Hope you all are doing well during yesterday’s snow storm.
It is with great regret to announce that Sherry Wang, our PTO president, along with the graduation of his son Kenny Yang from our school, will move on at the end of this school year. Sherry has been instrumental in forming and defining MLCCC PTO six years ago. Since its founding, Sherry has lead the PTO to implement many of the activities and events that we are enjoying everyday now, for example, school store, Easter egg hunt, parents tea party, parents picnic day, and sports day. As PTO president and also as part of admin, she spent countless hours to serve our school and community without any compensation. The enthusiastic passion and the creative ideas she brought made our school better and strong. We are also very fortunate to be able to benefit from her great organization and leadership skills. She will be missed greatly. Please join us in saying “Thank you” to Sherry Wang. It is with warmest regards that we wish Sherry and her family happy, healthy and success!
We also want to take this opportunity to ask anyone who is interested to step up and serve the MLCCC community. Please let us know if you are interested.

We would like to give a big THANK YOU to our parent Lu Li and our high school student Jack Lee for putting together a video of our Gala!! Jack Lee is the son of our flu shot doctor Dr. Weiguo Li. He is an active member of his school’s TV station and volunteered to video record our entire Gala. Mr. Lu Li then volunteered tons of his spare time and enhanced the video with tremendous speed. The video is 1 hour 26 minutes 15 seconds long, m4v format, and can now be played by iTunes, QuickTime, VLC, Windows Media Player, etc. Mr. Li also improved the soundtrack and parsed the video to about 20 chapters so viewers can select which performance to view (except on Windows Media Player). If you would like a copy of the Gala video, please bring a USB drive that is at least 6GB. Please help us thank Jack Lee and Mr. Lu Li if you know them or bump into them!!

Our Gala this year was the most successful event in recent MLCCC history. Dazzling hues, melodious sounds, laughter and applause permeated throughout! Thank you to our photographers Mr. Lu Li and Mr. Bill Zhang, who captured the moments and colors of the event forever on film. Their photos were so professional that newspapers reprinted many of them; and our parents requested that we organize a seminar to teach photography, so that we can all learn to incorporate photography into our lives and record those special moments in our children’s and family’s lives. The seminar will primarily be in Chinese.
A big Thank You to Mr. Lu Li for graciously volunteering to present and share his photography experiences!

- Seeking Chinese Translator
Hello,
I have a small international student hosting company in the Chester County Area. I work with Chinese high school students and I am looking for a Chinese translator to work with. It is sporadic work and we talk to families in China via video chat either in the morning or evening. Please share my information as appropriate.
Thank you,
