Dragon Boat (Duanwu) Festival Celebration and All Member Meeting
On June 04, 2016, Peoria Chinese
community members and friends gathered together to celebrate the annual Chinese
DuanWu / Dragon Boat Festival with a successful BBQ picnic and a few fun activities
at the Moose Shelter at Detweiller Park. There were about 300 community
members, friends, and colleagues joined the event. Authentic Homemade Chinese
foods including traditional festival food rice dumpling and on-site BBQ grill,
as well as wonderful game activities of paper boat, tug of war, sand volleyball
etc. were enjoyed by both adults and kids. The DuanWu Festival picnic and all
member meeting has become an annual event that bond our community together more
tightly, year after year. The event was jointly organized by Peoria Chinese
Association (PCA) and Caterpillar Chinese Resource Group (CCRG).

appreciate the volunteers
whose hard work helped make this event successful.
------------------------
We would like to thank all participants who have attended the picnic.
As we all know that volunteers are the backbone behind all of our
events, and this year is no exception. This picnic is only successful because
of the great help from our volunteers. Volunteers helped planning the event,
reserving the place, purchasing and preparing foods, grilling the meat,
organizing the games and activities, and cleaning the place after the picnic.
While it is not possible to have a completed list, we do want to thank the
following volunteers for their great help this year. We also apologize as we
may have missed some names as so many people have helped this event in so many
ways.
