NMCA Celebrates The Chinese New Year
Saturday evening February 9th, 20 members/guests of NMCA gathered at the Albuquerque
Chinatown restaurant on Central, to celebrate the Year of the Rat. Companions were
wonderful and the eats were an interesting combination of traditional Chinese dishes
usually reserved for special occasions. Dinner was followed by a traditional Chinese
New Year dance of the Lions. The group performing this special dance danced their
hearts out and were very entertaining.
In addition, member Steve Hopkins graciously made all members a permanent name tag
which you can pick up as you come in the door at the General meeting (and return after
each meeting please). Everyone agreed that having the name of the person you are speaking
with is extremely helpful in getting to know each other better.
We hope to see more NMCA members partake of all the fun and exciting events coming
up this year. You don't know what you're missing by not coming out to see what we have
in store. It's a fantastic way to get to know other Club members. See you all at the next
General meeting, February 15th.
