A Letter of Invitation
Due
to
the overwhelming success of the 2008
Christchurch Chinese New Year
Celebration held last year, we have
decided to hold the 2009
Christchurch Combined Chinese New
Year celebration on 24
January 2009 to usher in the
Year of the Ox. It is our great
pleasure to invite you to join us to
celebrate this auspicious occasion.
Groups participating in the 2009
Celebration are
members of Chinese associations and
communities in Christchurch,
representing Chinese residents born
in New Zealand and also those
migrated from Mainland China,
Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Taiwan, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand,
Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia.
A good turnout is expected for the
2009 event as all tickets were sold
out last year. The number is
restricted to a maximum of
about
600 diners for the banquet and Chinese cultural performances.
The 2009 function will be held in
the Hotel Grand Chancellor at 161,
Cashel Street, Christchurch. We
will
invite
the
Prime Minister,
Leader of the Opposition, Government
Ministers, Chinese Ambassador,
Mayor of
Christchurch,
local Members of Parliament, the
Governor of Guangdong Province in
China and other dignitaries.
A traditional New Year banquet will
be served followed by an exciting
programme showcasing Asian cultures
and talents. The event will provide
an opportunity to share our cultures
and tradition with the wider
Christchurch community, and to
encourage participation. We are
keeping ticket prices substantially
below cost,
at
$50,
$40 and
$30
per person.
We hope you will join us in ushering
in the Year of the Ox!!
