Chinese Cultural Assn. to Mark New Year
The San Fernando Valley Chinese Cultural Assn. will celebrate the Chinese New Year with a banquet Saturday marking the Year of the Tiger.
The event, to be held at the Universal City Hilton, will feature the Chinese Lion Dance and an artistic Flower Drum Dance performed by children from the cultural association’s Chinese School. There will also be an eight-course feast, karaoke and ballroom dancing.
Cultural association members are now involved in a campaign to raise funds to build a Chinese Heritage Center in Northridge, which will serve as a meeting place for members. In addition to the Chinese School, the association’s activities include a seniors’ club, drama club, Chinese music ensemble and ballroom dance club.
The keynote speaker at Saturday’s event, expected to draw more than 700 guests, will be Assemblyman Bob Hertzberg (D-Sherman Oaks). U.S. District Court Judge Ronald S.W. Lew, Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alarcon and Alfred Foung, the cultural association’s new president, are also expected to attend.
A social hour will begin at 6 p.m. followed by dinner and the program. Tickets are $40.
