Chinese New Year Spectacular - Jan. 24

Can I take a few minutes from you and introduce a show that features traditional Chinese dances, songs, music, and etc. It's called Chinese New Year Spectacular. It’s coming to the Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis at 7PM on Jan. 24, 2008.

Here are some more details on this show. http://www.shows.ntdtv.com/en/node/2246

This Chinese New Year Spectacular was ranked among top 10 shows in the US. It is truly spectacular. Meanwhile, you probably have heard that last June, the Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty proposed and the Minnesota Legislature passed an initiative for developing a statewide articulated Mandarin Chinese curriculum. I think watching this performance will be a wonderful opportunity for our kids to get some exposure to traditional Chinese culture in a fun way, which could help them get more interested in learning Chinese. (no admission to children of 3 or younger, though.) You can call the theater box office at (612) 624 – 2345 or you can call (800) 857 – 6815 for group tickets (15 or more tickets). Or you can order online at http://www1.umn.edu/umato/single.html

Please see the attached flyer for more detailed information about the show including pricing and discounts. Thank you and hope to see you at this Chinese New Year Spectacular in the Year of the Mouse in 2008! Joy
