Chinese Club Kicks Off Plans for Mid-Autumn Fest

The Chinese Club of San Marino held its Mid-Autumn Festival Kickoff party last Saturday, marking the beginning of the official countdown to the annual event. Performers on stilts and dressed in Venetian-style costumes moved among the more than 100 guests, including donors, civic leaders and longtime supporters, who gathered to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year and discuss plans and fundraising goals for the annual dinner gala. The Mid-Autumn Festival, chaired by Alan Chen, will be held Saturday, Nov. 4, at the San Gabriel Hilton and is the Club’s largest fundraiser of the year. This year’s event will be a masquerade ball celebrating the diversity of the club and the entire San Marino community with the theme, “The Diversity Within.”
