Dear Mayor Daley,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to celebrate the 4707th Chinese Lunar New Year with the Hip Sing Association and the Chinese-American community. Please join us for the Annual Chinese Lunar New Year Parade at Argyle Street Saturday, February 5, 2011.
Hip Sing Association is a traditional Chinese association that was established to support Chinese immigrants in Chicago . Since 1900, not only has the Hip Sing Association been fulfilling the needs of the Chinese-American community but it also has been bringing awareness of Chinese tradition and culture to the community. It has chapters in Chinese-American communities throughout major cities in the U.S. including New York , Seattle and San Francisco .
With the Chinese Lunar New Year approaching, Hip Sing Association proudly presents the 4707th Chinese Lunar Year parade in celebration of the Year of the Rabbit. The parade will take place on Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 1PM. The parade will include a fantastic fireworks show, traditional dragon and lion dances, beautifully-decorated floats, and enthusiastic high school marching bands. We would love to see your attendance and participation at this culturally-important event to the Chinese community of Chicago .
Prior to the parade, we invite you to a traditional dim sum lunch and tea at the Hip Sing Association office at 12PM. The parade will then start promptly at 1PM at Argyle Street and Broadway Street heading East on Argyle Street . It will then make a loop by going South on Sheridan Road , then West on Lawrence Avenue , then back North on Broadway Street before returning to Argyle Street .
We sincerely hope that you can join us for this special event as we promise it will be a fun-filled day of celebrating Chinese heritage and culture in Chicago .
Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions about the day’s activities, please feel free to contact me at (847) 852-6223.
Kind regards,
