Dear CCSGN members and friends:

With a new management team striving to better serve CCSGN members and friends for year 2011- 2012, I am pleased to announce that the logistics of our 2011 Christmas Party is ready and it is time for you, your family members and friends to reserve the date and join us for a special night at the party.

WHEN: Saturday, December 17th, 2011 5:30 – 9:30 pm
WHERE: Chinese Bible Church of Greater Nashua, 45 Pine Hill Road, Nashua, NH 03063

Following our party traditions, we will have the following main activities:

Potluck Dinner: Each family is asked to bring in one of your favorite dishes to share and CCSGN will order pizzas, drinks and other delicious foods. Food contest will be held and the top 5 winners will be awarded.

Performance: There will be spectacular entertainment performed by our members and friends and no one wants to miss the show. Please contact Yu Luo(aloeluo2002@yahoo.com.cn), Qinghua Han(q_h_han@yahoo.com) or Xiaohong Zhao(sjzhang@comcast.net) to register your programs.

Raffle Prizes: There are many rounds of raffle games and each family will get 1 free ticket this year for attending the party. You, your family members and friends could be one of the many lucky winners, and CCSGN has various prizes include books, toys, gift certificates, etc waiting for you, your family members and friends.

As you already know, CCSGN is a non-profit organization and it relies on our membership fees and donations to cover costs related to foods, party supplies, facility, gifts, etc. Please remember to bring membership fees to the party ($40/per family/year or one-time fee of $15.00/family/party or $10/person/party) as you can. If you would like to donate items that can be used as raffle prizes, we’d greatly appreciate your generosity and supports.

More importantly, CCSGN could not operate healthly without your participation and voluntary help. Please give applauses to the following volunteers who have stepped up first to lead various roles.

Vice President: Xinyun Guo
Treasurer: Xiuhua Zhang, Sunny Chen
General Affair/Facility manager: Zhihai Zhang
Activity/program manager: Yu Luo(Aloe Rioux), Qinghua Han, Xiaohong Zhao
Food manager: Yongting Yang, Muchun Wan
Supply manager: Mi Long
Communication manager: Sunny Chen
Youth manager: Xiaohong Zhao, Ping Li
Website manager: Ping Shen, Zhigang Wang

We want teenagers and younger children to feel that they can play important roles of our CCSGN operation, and will provide opportunities for them to help every part of our activities. If you would like your teenagers/children to help out at the party (such as selling raffle tickets, counting food contest votes, etc.), please contact Xiaohong Zhao and Ping Li.

If you have any suggestions, questions or concerns about the operation of CCSGN 2011-2012 term, please feel free to contact myself or any members of our management team. If you could, please give them a call to congratulate them and tell them you can help them out if they need extra hands( we still need extra volunteers to fill in those positions which only have 1 person/position) to help serve our CCSGN members and friends. Any efforts, big or small, such as picking up Pizzas, buying water, setting up tables, clean up after party, etc. will be very helpful and are highly appreciated.

So, what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar, spread the words out and invite your neighbors, friends, and colleagues who may not know CCSGN, or may not attend CCSGN parties regularly, prepare the performance and think about the secret recipes for you to win the food contest!

Thanks for all your help and support, and I look forward to seeing you, your family members and friends at the CCSGN 2011 Christmas Party!

Sincerely,

Lingsong Wu President of CCSGN 2011-2012
