Chinese Club’s Mid-Autumn Masquerade

Nearly 250 guests gathered last Saturday night at the San Gabriel Hilton for the Chinese Club of San Marino’s annual Mid-Autumn Festival. This year’s theme “Masquerade Ball — the Diversity Within” highlighted the cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity of the San Marino community. Like the past three decades, proceeds of the fundraiser go to operate the Chinese School of San Marino, to support educational endeavors such as local schools’ sports and music programs, to host community seminars for new immigrants, community safety, parenting skills, and to promote cultural programs, such as floral arrangement, calligraphy and traditional Chinese cooking. The event was chaired by Alan Chen.
