With
2009 holiday season right around the corner, MCCC leadership team and MMCS
school board would like to thank you for your service
in making us a stronger community in serving
members and community through Chinese language education, cultural outreach,
and social engagement. You made it possible to wrap up another very
successful year for our community.
Thanks go to our capable
teachers, talented students, and our dedicated parents. We owe a great deal of
gratitude to Marquette University for providing us with classrooms. Special appreciation
goes to our devoted school board members for their leadership and service by
hundreds of hours and our parents for their contribution in parents-on-duty.
Thanks to hundreds of volunteers at the Holiday Folk
Fair, Chinese New Year @ the Domes, and other MCCC organized events. We have
just concluded 2009 MCCC at Holiday Folk Fair and we have broken our 2008
record. Congratulations to our team leaders and many thanks to all the volunteers.
Special thanks go to those who have volunteered for multiple shifts. You are
the heart and soul of our community!
Our sincere thanks also go to organizations for your
generous support. Your sponsorship enabled us to provide better service to our
community.
As we march into the New Year, we would like to hear
from you – your needs, your ideas, and your passion. Talk to us or send your
