Chinese Culture Group of Greater Grand Rapids

The 3rd annual silent auction is scheduled for Tuesday, November 13, 2007 from 6:30-9pm at Ming Ten Restaurant located at 2090 Celebration Dr. NE Suite 215 in Grand Rapids, MI 49525

The event format will be similar to past years in that we will be donating the proceeds to a charitable organization in China. This year we’ve selected Grace and Hope for Children which is a non-profit organization that seeks to place as many kids as possible with foster families in China. For more information on GHC please visit their website at http://www.grace-hope.org

Ming Ten has generously partnered with us this year and is offering our group a reduced rate in addition to waiving the fee for the banquet room. The reduced rate for the buffet will allow us to donate $5 for every adult price to Grace and Hope for Children. The buffet is fabulous, and they even have an all you can eat Sushi bar which is the best deal in town. Cost includes all you can eat buffet, soft drink and tip.

• Children under 10 are just $4
• Ages 11 and above are $15 ($5 of the each adult price will be donated to GHC)

Space is limited to 70 people so we ask that families RSVP via the form below.

At the end of March an invitation to serve on the board was extended to all members. To date, the executive committee hasn’t received any responses. Fortunately, several board members have stepped up and plan to run for another two year term, but we need your help to make these next two years our best ever. This year we plan to re-institute sub-committees to ensure meeting are planned and run smoothly. If you can’t commit to a two year or one year post please consider serving on one of the sub-committees (Education, Communication, Facility & other major event committees)

Serving on the board can be very rewarding and is a great way to get connected with the group. Please contact a board member if you are interested in one of these positions. For a list of board member email addresses go to http://ccgggr.org/content/contact-us/
