On Thursday, February 18, we shall be hosting our Chinese New Year Dinner Reception to welcome the Year of the Tiger and to say farewell to the Year of the Bull, which has proven to be a remarkable year full of many changes. This year will also mark the 13th Anniversary of this exceptional event. The dinner will be held at the House of Fortune Restaurant in Chinatown, Chicago beginning at 5:30 p.m. In honor of the new decade, dinner will consist of a brand new menu of a traditional 10 course Chinese dinner featuring special Chinese hot pot.
In 2009, for the first time in history, Chinese investment into the U.S. exceeded U.S. investment into China, while the economy has also begun to recover. Dr. Bill Testa, Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, will comment on the current economic situation and the outlook for 2010. Consul General Huang Ping from the Chinese Consulate will also give special remarks at the event. Entertainment and performances will follow to commemorate this exceptional occasion.
A formal invitation and RSVP are hereby enclosed. As spaces are limited to 100, please RSVP at your earliest convenience, but no later than Monday, February 15. Please contact me at 312-368-9030 with any further questions. Thank you once again for your kind support, and we look forward to a successful event and year ahead.
