Dear friends of China Institute:

I hope this message finds you well as we approach the end of Fall 2024 and the joyful holiday season. As we gear up for the festive spirit, we're excited to announce our upcoming 2025 Chinese New Year Banquet. Mark your calendars for a memorable evening on Saturday, February 15, 2025!

In 2025, the Year of the Snake in the Chinese calendar symbolizes wisdom, elegance, and transformation. It encourages personal and professional growth, focusing on long-term plans, creativity, and intuition.

Please take a moment to reserve this date on your calendar. More details about the event will be shared in early Feb., 2025. Your early commitment to attending our Chinese New Year Banquet means a lot to us, and we can't wait to share the joy of this festive occasion with you!  

As the semester comes to a close, we want to extend our warmest wishes for a well-deserved break and a joyful holiday season. May this Christmas be filled with love, warmth, and cherished moments with family and friends. We also wish you a Happy New 2025 filled with new opportunities, success, and happiness!!
