Hi all

We had a wonderful gathering last Sunday, with overwhelming
participation, delicious food, and wonderful piano show.

About 40~50 people showed up (including kids). We even have
vice-president of BNU Alumni joined us.

We are all impressed with the food brought in. Several dishes received
multiple votes when we vote for our favorite dishes. I hope the
recipes are well remembered. I believe more talent will show up in the
next potluck.

We had a wonderful piano show after the lunch, almost every kid played
piano for us, with amazingly high skill. I wonder if there is a second
place in the world where every kid can play piano that well.

Zhang Qiang, VP of BNU Alumni briefed us new changes in BNU. One
impression to me is, the competition and working pressure in BNU is
very high. I wonder if we can call bayarea a stressful place?

Zhang Hui Pin also briefed us their charity foundation that focus on
helping students social practices and assisting needy students. He
will post their information to this yahoo group and our website. Hope
more and more people can know their activity and offer support.

Last but not least, we had a wide range topic chatting in the afternoon.

Thanks for Zhao Hai Ying for providing the disposable dishes and milk-tea.

Again, thanks Wang Zhan for the wonderful PanHouse, makes all these
possible.

Wish everybody a wonderful and prospect New Year.
Liu Ying
