Chinese New Year 2008 -
The Year of the Rat
Join us to welcome the Year of the Rat!
FCC Chinese New Year Event - February 9th
Join the FCC-ET as we welcome in the year of the rat at First United Methodist Church in Maryville. Much planning and refining has gone into creating a special celebration. The church facility is large enough for us to have room to eat together, socialize and view performances. This year we have a larger craft room and have changed up the schedule just a bit so we won’t have as much down time. We look forward to seeing everyone- Order your tickets early so you won’t be left out- we are still restricted to only 200 tickets and no tickets will be sold at the door.
