Yesterday the CDR’s lunch and dinner guests were treated to special meals in honor of the Chinese New Year. Local restaurants Dragon East, Ho Sai Gai, Lion City Chinese, and Moon Star Restaurant helped sponsor the event. We thank them for sharing their delicious foods and decorating the dining room with traditional red lanterns.
A big thank you to our CDR Board Members as well who added the finishing touches to our dinner celebration…check out that table and those stunning outfits!
Last night was also the launch of our “Passport Program”, a collaboration with the Branford Early Childhood Collaborative. On the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month, each child between 3 and 8 years old is invited to come along for a journey to learn more about the world through books, crafts, songs and activities. Participants are given a “passport” and for each night they attend, they receive a stamp. Each child who collects 12 stamps will receive a small prize at the end of the 3 month program, and all are invited to a Global celebration at the end. Dinner follows the activities! Thanks to the BECC for bringing an innovative program to the CDR.
