January 27, 2009

The Night was a HUGE success! Thanks to all of those who participated and who attended our Chinese New Year celebration! We had around 400-450 people in attendance! It was outstanding! Without a doubt some of the hightlights were the Lion Dancers (see the videos below) and the student performances!

Listed here is an outline of the night's entertainment!
