Chinese New Year 2010

We celebrated an awesome Chinese New Year with our local Families with Children from China group. The night included a silent auction, raffles, yummy buffet, children's craft table, entertainment, which included 5 groups of dancers from our very own FCC group. And last but not ever least, the Lion Dance.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- About 400 members of a group supporting Chinese adoption rang in the Year of the Tiger Saturday night with a gala event.

In an event full of food, fellowship and entertainment to celebrate the Chinese New Year that included nearly 100 adopted children, the most honored guests were the youngest: 12 children united with their forever families in the past year.

Older children, from preschoolers through middle school age, dressed in silk and performed dance routines. The evening was capped with a traditional Lion Dance, which became a parade of smiling children.
