Celebrate the "Year of the Rat"
Chinese New Year's Festival

Location: Duffys' Place
5212 Talbots Landing
(see map1, map2)

Bring a "Chinese-food Entree/Appetizer/Dessert"

The official date for Chinese New Year is February 7th. We tend to schedule this party based on our calendar and not the Lunar calendar, so we are running late. Brianna (our first child) was born on January 22nd, 2004 which was Chinese New Year, so this celebration takes on more meaning for us. Come help us celebrate Brianna's fourth Chinese birthday. Hope you can make it, and PLEASE RSVP! Note, if you were born in the The Year of the Rat, you are "industrious and hard working. Those born in the Year of the Rat are loyal and loving and are good providers for their family and those they cherish most dearly. They are also born perfectionists.

Loyal and loving, Rat people inspire loyalty in others who are close to them. They are essentially honest individuals and loath to betray a confidence. However, their quick wit and restlessness can sometimes lead to chattiness, and they can often be relied upon at large social gatherings for a good story or a juicy bit of gossip.

Their energy levels and expert organizational talents are such that it is a rare thing to see a Rat person sitting idly by with nothing to do.
