FCC YOUTH GROUP WILL USHER IN THE YEAR OF THE TIGER WITH A
DUMPLING MAKING PARTY!
Our next YOUTH GROUP meeting will be a celebration of the Chinese New Year and
we will be cooking our own dumpling dinner! Each child is being asked to bring
ONE (and only one!) friend who is not from our adoption community so that we can
share our Chinese culture and our friends.

In order to adequately prepare the amount of food necessary, we request that if you RSVP that
you will be attending, you also send payment to our Head Chef, Joni Mazer, who will purchase
the necessary items for our event. This will assure we have the right amount of food for the
number of guests.*To insure we have all the necessary ingredients for our Dumpling Making
Party we are asking for payment (very minimal) in advance, as you will read below. If anyone is
wondering why we are doing this, since it is not the traditional way we have done things in the
past, the reason is as follows. Often people RSVP that they will be attending, and then do not
show up. If we ask people to bring different items, and then they are a "no-show", we might end
up not having what we need for the group that does show up. To avoid any problems, we
thought this might be a better way. I hope you will agree.

Mail to:

Joni Mazer, 2437 Fifth Avenue, East Meadow, NY 11554

*Please realize there can be no refunds if you do not show up.

Please bring drinks for your own group. This seemed to work well at our last meeting, and
helped to keep our costs down, as well as provide you with the beverage you preferred.

We also ask that you bring a red envelope for the number of children you are bringing, and fill
each one with one quarter.

HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT!

Barbara Fischthal Gumpel and Lisa Burke
