Chinese New year Celebration!

Stacy is now an FCC board member. (Families with Children from China) All of us who know Stacy are not surprised at that... Nor will anyone be surprised at the amount of effort she put forth in helping prepare for the FCC's Chinese New Year celebration this past weekend. As you can imagine, it was a huge success!

The FCC celebration was in downtown Phoenix at Heritage Square. There were Chinese dancers & drummers, face painting, balloon animals, rock climbing, a cake walk, bake sale, craft table, etc. It really was a great time for the kids and the adults. (Note to self: recommend a beer tent for 2009!) Stacy was in charge of the bake sale, which did more than double the business of last year, as well as the cake walk & vendors. There was also a raffle, and Stacy secured donations of free room stays at local hotels, etc... Christine, Sascha's Mom, coordinated the food for over 500 people, and it was great! Megan, Maya's Mom, handled all the crafts & activities, which were a huge hit! The Mom's on the board really worked hard, and it showed!

Mia is so proud of her over achieving Momma! We can't wait for next year...

What an incredible time we had. Special recognition to Stacy and all the parents that took the time and effort to make this fantastic event a reality. We had a great time and I still can't believe that I won the first two cake walks I was in. In retrospect, the real highlights of the day were the incredibly beautiful, talented, and happy kids and the overwhelming love of their parents.
