Half a year has went by quicker than a blink of an eye. If you haven’t notice already we have a new logo which sports a cool new cape to represent our growth (and our newly found powers muhahaha). We also briefly discuss getting new T-shirts that have capes attached to them. But that idea was quickly shot down when someone mention the Incredibles.
We started the year off with the banging of drums and cymbals of the Lion Dance at the Annual RCCS TD Lunar New Year Celebration at Lansdowne Centre on February 16. Traditionally, the Lion Dance performance was supposed to ward off evil by pretending to something more terrifying than evil itself. However as the years goes by the Lion grew less and less fearsome and became more and more friendly to the point where kids runs towards them instead away from them. Some would say that this modern Lion Dance has loss all meaning, but I like to think of it as there just isn’t any evil left to ward off. Besides the Lion Dance, we also have many other exciting programs on stage and we were in charge of bringing good fortune to others by giving out lots gold (chocolate) coins away.

It really isn’t Chinese New Year unless you feast till you can’t move. That is why we took part in the 14th Annual RCCS Community dinner on February 27, shortly after the event at Lansdowne. It was an evening was about getting some of most influential people from different local community groups to coming together to celebrate Chinese New Year and to do some important networking.

After the fanatic pace of running a tournament (you can read more about that on our previous post), we proceed to celebrate the Asian Heritage Month with the RCCS Asian Heritage Fair on May 5th. It was a day fill with music and dance performances as well as exhibitions that showcases the vast diversity of different Asian cultures here we have in Canada.

We hosted our first (hopefully annual) Richmond Youth Fair on June 1st. You can read more about that on our future post.
The following 2 events happened all in 24 hours (in my Kiefer Sutherland voice). The first one was the RCCS Karaoke Fundraising Dinner and Dance on the night of June 8th Saturday. And the other one was the RCCS Chinese Opera Performance in the morning of June 9th Sunday. We have great turn outs for both events and were very pleased with the results. Thank you for all those involved, especially those who volunteered for both events.

We are always looking for more help, so please don’t hesitate if you want to contact us.

This year we went all out with more teams, bigger venue, and more prizes. Besides featuring some of the best teams in the lower mainland, we also cater to the rest by having a lower division where teams with similar skills can compete and have fun. This was also the first time we introduced our mascot Mr. Bear. According to some, it was a miracle that he is alive because of his strange heart condition. Thanks to Gabriel and Sherlock for putting this year’s event together and all the volunteers that put up with the long hours. We would also like to thanks Lucky from Memory Express for hooking us up with all the cool prizes and swags to give away, and former MLA Rob Howard and RCCS for sponsoring us. And finally a shout out to our friends form Seattle Kallen “Paddo” and Joe “Highwind” for coming up here to cast the event live. We shall meet again in battle next year.

RCCS Youth Group AGM 2012

For those of you who miss the 2012 RCCS Youth Group Annual General Meeting (AGM), you have missed one of our most exciting events of this year. I would like to compare our AGM to the Oscar Academy Awards. Big blockbuster movies who usually get nominated 5 or 6 times don’t usually win any major prizes (if any), but is it still fun watching them try (and fail).

For those of you who hasn’t figure it out already, Nicholas Lee has crush all opposition and has been re-elected as the President of RCCS Youth Group.  Besides the fact the Nicholas has made one of most moving and inspirational election speech in this year’s debate. The other two candidates have also strangely expressed their fondness and support of Nicholas as president in their own election speeches to help Nicholas (not that he needed any) clench his third year presidency. Some believes that there are some foul play involved, while others believes that it is some sort of clever ploy that the other candidates try to use Nicholas popularity to gain more votes or set themselves up for next year election.  Whatever the case maybe, I don’t think we will ever know the truth behind their decisions.

I would also like to congratulate our new cabinet members Vice President Melissa Ng, Secretary Christy Liu, and Treasurer Stanley Li.
We now fast forward to a few days later at this year’s RCCS AGM & Volunteer Appreciation Dinner and Dance (Not to be confuse with the Youth Group AGM). Every year RCCS treats their volunteers to a dinner and dance to show their appreciation.  This year wasn’t any different, we got ourselves a table of our own and eat then dance the night away. When I said dance I really meant dancing. For those of you who didn’t know, our President Nicholas is good not only at speeches but he also has some killer dance moves (that could of have killed disco) and we have video proof of that if anyone is interested.

Quick reminder: We have our Christmas party coming soon (as the exams are over).  A facebook event will be up as soon as we can lock the date down. Thanks Melissa!
