At the same time, it joins hands with the Chinese Students and Scholars Association of Arizona State University and other Chinese and overseas Chinese groups in Alberta to celebrate the National Day of the People's Republic of China and the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. The organizers are all volunteers who work during the day and squeeze out their personal breaks in the evenings and weekends to participate in the preparations for the celebrations. In the list of donations, you can see: there are respectable old overseas Chinese, energetic new overseas Chinese, AVNET, a large enterprise ranked among the world's top 500, and the ASU Confucius Institute, which greatly supports community activities. Throughout the preparation and fundraising process, we received active participation and strong support from volunteers from various social groups and Chinese groups. Everyone’s only wish is to work hard to successfully organize this series of activities to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and provide a satisfactory answer to the community and overseas Chinese! Thank you all for your participation and support! Everyone is welcome to wear formal attire and attend the Sino-US Cultural Forum (3:00-5:00), National Day Reception (5:00-7:00) and Mid-Autumn Festival Dance (7:00-9:00) on Sunday, September 18th.
