The
Bohua Chinese Language School, the Chinese Student and Scholar
Association of CU Boulder and the Shaolin Hung Mei Pai Kung Fu
Association held the first-ever joint holiday party on Sunday,
December 19, 1999 at the Creekside Senior Center in Boulder. Party
goers packed the Senior Center. Party organizers, Jiyang Xu, Bohua
Principal; Alan Lun, CSSA President; and Shifu Howie Solow, Hung
Mei Pai, were pleased with the response to the party and plan
on more joint activities in the future.
 Over
250 people enjoyed food catered by China Gourmet restaurant followed
by a variety of activities. The menu included Beef Tenders, Duck,
Peppered Shrimp, Rice Cake with Shredded Pork, Black Mushroom
with Chinese Vegetables, Hunan-style Chicken and Steamed Rice.
 Following
dinner, there was a choice of doing Karaoke, playing games, viewing
movies or simply visiting with old and new friends. A highlight
was the seminal movie "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li in one
of his first film appearances.
