USCPFA - SOUTHEAST FLORIDA CHAPTER - (formerly PALM BEACH COUNTY CHAPTER)

USCPFA - SOUTHEAST FLORIDA CHAPTER - (formerly PALM BEACH COUNTY CHAPTER)

Our name was changed at our April 30, 2011 meeting from "Palm Beach County, Florida Chapter" to "Southeast Florida Chapter" because we now have members in several Southeast Florida counties and we wanted to better reflect our membership with a more encompassing name.

We have at least 3 luncheon meetings a year to discuss projects and business activities. Our luncheons usually feature a presentation by various Chinese interests. We sponsor students with scholarships and recently contributed to our chapter member Marylou Brunetta's participation in the World Championship triathlon in Beijing, China being held in September, 2011. For several years we have sponsored a Chinese New Year GALA with performances by very talented local Chinese Artists which is directed by our chapter member, Monica Shang who is also one of the contributing artists.

2014 - CHINESE CORNER UPDATE


The ladies in attendance at the pot luck

 The Men's table

The International Chinese Corner http://www.meetup.com/intchinesecorner/ wound up the year with an afternoon pot luck November 30th at Jack and Jianying’s house filled with new friends, conversation and lots of homemade food and sweets. There were over forty members in attendance and a good time was had by all.

The year ended by having a luncheon social, 19 attendees, after the Christmas holiday (Dec. 28th) at the Japanese Ginza Buffet in Boynton Beach. An after Christmas window shop at the Boynton Beach Mall was planned by the ladies of the group following the buffet lunch but was cancelled, due to a flat tire on the primary transportation vehicle.

Our next regularly scheduled meeting (4th Sunday of the month) will be on January 26th at 2pm in the West Palm Beach Library. Free parking in the City parking garage.
