Chinese New Year Gala

This year's celebration will introduce the Chinese zodiac animal, the rooster.  The rooster is symbolic to the Chinese as a faithful and punctual animal.  Punctuality is the pride of the rooster who wakes us early every morning.  On behalf of the Chinese Student Association, we extend our best wishes for your health, happiness, and lasting prosperity!  Be sure to attend and receive a beautiful gift during the Gala.

Happy Year of the Rooster!!!
