XIN NIÁN KUÀI LÈ!

Happy New Year!Graphic with a kiwi with a fern inside it, next to a rat. With the text "Year of the rat 2020, NZ/China Friendship Society"

We hope all members have enjoyed a happy and restful Christmas and New Year and are looking forward to the year ahead.

According to the Chinese traditional Lunar calendar, this is a Rat year from Saturday, January 25 to February 11, 2021. It is regarded as the first in the 12 animal rotation. In addition to the animals, there are other factors including five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, metal) associated with the year, so, welcome to the Year of the Metal Rat.

Once again, we will be taking over the Eastern Cuisine Restaurant in Richmond for a banquet. There will be a brief Annual General Meeting before the banquet begins. We welcome you to join us for this occasion of good food, fellowship, and fun.
