Chinese New Year Celebration
The Year of the Tiger

Held on February 20, 2010


Another Chinese New Year was successfully celebrated on February 20, 2010. With new faces in the crowd and involved on the stage, this year marked the school's move to a bigger location. We would like to thank all of those involved that helped make this event what it was, and with your help, we cannot wait to see what this year will bring.

The pictures below show several participants during the annual demonstration. In the upper left hand corner, there is a picture of the Tai Chi students performing Chen Pan Ling Tai Chi. From left to right, there is Shawn Mitzel, Samantha Werner, Sifu Rick Melancon, and Sifu Scott Green. In the next picture, Shawn and Sifu Scott are preparing to perform a two man set with staffs. In the bottom left, Samantha and Sifu Rick are in the middle of another two man set where spear faces off against saber. Finally, there is a picture of some of the students about to pay homage to Master Y.W. Chang.

After the excitement of the demonstration, there was food for all. Several games and activities were enjoyed by those who came including biking, canoeing, horse shoes, and volleyball. Fun was had by all with the exception of Sifu Rick who was unceremoniously dumped in the water shown behind the demonstrators below.

Of course, there were no hard feelings, and we look forward to the next new year. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
