	Dear WCCA Members and Friends: 龙年大吉！ Wish you happy holidays and all the best for the New Year 2012! WCCA cordially invites you to join our party on Feb 4th at Newtown High School to celebrate the 2012 Chinese New Year. As many of you who have attended the party before know, the Chinese New Year party is the largest annual event hosted by WCCA and provides a great opportunity for many west Connecticut residents (both Chinese and those who are interested in Chinese culture) to celebrate one of the most important Chinese holidays, have fun, and mingle with friends. Download the brochure with more information about the event and registration form. Please feel free to forward the brochure to your friends and colleagues who may not on our mailing list. To help us plan for the event ahead of time, we would greatly appreciate it if you can send in your registration form in advance (before Jan 22nd, 2012). Although we have a group of enthusiastic and warm-hearted volunteers for the event, we can always use more help. If you are interested in volunteering your time to help out the New Year event and/or becoming a WCCA committee member, please send us an email at: wccapresident@gmail.com with your contact information or talk to any of our WCCA committee members. We will be very happy to have you and I am sure you will make a few great friends and gain valuable experience while helping out. I also want to emphasize a few other things. First, we will not sell tickets separately only for the performance. WCCA is a non-profit organization funded by all of us and for all of us. (All WCCA spending in the past is on website for your review) The major source of funding is from our members and friends – We need and very much appreciate your support. The membership fee is your donation to WCCA and will be used to support not only the New Year party but also all other WCCA events in 2012. Second and very importantly, parents, please take care of your children at all time during the event and make sure they don’t run wild J at the event location. We know kids can get excited and hope the games and performance can keep them occupied, but we do urge that parents be responsible for their kids' own safety as we try to eliminate any possible incident during the event and we do want to show our appreciation to all of our performers as well. Lastly, on behalf of all WCCA committee members, I wish you have a great time during the holidays and hope to see you at the Chinese New Year party!
