2026 is The Year of the "Horse".
The Horse is the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac, and is associated with energy, independence, and strength.
Recent Years of the Horse are 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, and 2014.
Let’s celebrate the Chinese New Year (The Year of the Horse 2/17/2026) together by wearing something red and eating delicious Chinese food at the Asian Palace restaurant in Columbia. The restaurant is next door to Mad City Coffee.
The dishes are served FAMILY STYLE. You share every dish with other guests at your table.
We have reserved a private dinning room for 40 guests. This popular event was sold out last year. Register NOW.
PROGRAM:
4:00-5:00PM: Slideshow (optional activity) - "My Aunt Laura" by Joy Cheung.
Laura Yu (1921-2017) was Joy's mother's younger sister. This is a story of a first generation Chinese immigrant who grew up in China, survived the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1953. Joy gave the same presentation to TVIH members in 2020 on Zoom.
