MMCS plans to
open a Daily Chinese Class. This class is especially designed for children from non-Chinese
speaking families and Chinese speaking families that the parents do not have
time working with their children on a daily base.
The class
will not be as intense as traditional MMCS class style. It is a slow
pace learning environment. Please contact Wendy Zhang at w51893@yahoo. com if you have any questions or
suggestions.
The MMCS Annual Picnic marked the end of school year 2008-2009.
Over 200 members of the MCCC community came to the gathering at Greenfield Park
last Saturday, June 13th. Besides getting a chance to relax and
socialize, there were some favorite family outdoor activities (亲子户外活动)
including Three-Legged Hop (三脚跳), Tug of War (拔河)
and Jump-In-Pocket (口袋跳) etc. Kids' Crafts Corner was led by Shan Lu and
Aerobics (健美操) Corner was led by Ping Xu. Thanks to all
volunteers for their hard work.

Travel alert!!! Recently, a couple from Waukesha was charged with a
federal crime for importing medicine from China two years ago containing
bear bile（熊胆).
Despite the assurance from their Chinese physician, they were still charged.
Their house was raided and the outcome of trial is not yet known. It is
certain that they will be fined a large amount. The MCCC urges you to travel
safely and smartly.
Have a great summer!
