MLCCC Chinese New Year Celebrations Gala

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!
