FCC YOUTH GROUP WILL USHER IN THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT 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! If you were there last year, you
know how much fun this was, and it is probably Youth Group's best event of the
year. You don't want to miss it!

Each child is allowed 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 must send payment to our Head
Chef, Joni Mazer, who will purchase the necessary items for our event. This will
enable us to prepare appropriately, and have the right amount of food for the
number of guests. Checks should be made out to JONI MAZER, and must be
received by Jan. 27th so that Joni has time to plan and shop.

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 seems to have worked out well at
previous meetings, and helps to keep our costs down, as well as provide you with
the beverage you prefer.

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

*** IF ANYONE HAS A CONNECTION WITH A LOCAL CHINESE RESTAURANT
AND CAN GET A DONATION OF CHOP STICKS AND TAKE OUT CONTAINERS,
PLEASE LET US KNOW.

*** IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO HELP WITH THIS EVENT, IT
WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. PLEASE ADVISE!

HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT!

Barbara Fischthal Gumpel, Lisa Burke, and Joni Mazer
