Presentation:  Special thanks to our member Nima Baratzaden and his guest

speaker Jacky for coming to speak with us about China politics.  Jacky

is a Taiwanese from South Africa who has expertise in China and Taiwan.  He came to share his experience in those countries and knowledge about them.  

 

-Introduction to new web site/contact information/next meeting:

 

Next meeting will include a special movie on Wong Fei Hung, an ancient Chinese fighter.  The date has been changed to January 15, 2004, one week earlier than originally scheduled since January 22, 2004 is the day before exams.  That is from a suggestion made by Tracy earlier.

-Chinese New Year:

 

Chinese Cultural Club is planning to engage in the following activities for Chinese New Year celebration during lunch of Wed. January 14, 2004:

 

·        Selling of Chinese food products (donated by our members)

·        Marble/chopstick activity

·        Chinese calligraphy

 

We are also planning activities on majong and other events to raise money for our club.  $15-20 is received from SAC for events, which we believe is not enough, so several generous members volunteered to donate their time and food products to help out.

 

                        The following is a list of volunteers who plan to help out on the day:

 

2nd period:  Edward Wong, Simon Wong, Glenn Lau

3rd period:  Edward Choi, Kelvin Yung, Amanda Chan

4th period:  Edward Choi, (Roy Wong), Sam Tan, Colin Chung, Pierre Chu

                       

The following are our generous members who plan to donate the following food products to sell to raise money for our club:

 

Sam and Amanda:  tray

Ms. Reid:  tray of spring rolls

Tyra:  fried rice

Mr. Chow:  $20
