Greetings!
We're just a couple of weeks away from the March 19 Lunar Feast, the PA's exciting annual banner fundraiser. There is still time to donate online to the Lunar Dinner Raffle and Silent Auction and to purchase tickets -- as we note below, you can buy a whole table or two with other parents from your child's team or other activity!
If you have questions or ideas about the Lunar Feast, please contact LunarFeast2010@stuy-pa.org or one of the email addresses provided below.
Sincerely,
Florence Hutner
Corresponding Secretary

Spring Faculty Reception
The Spring Faculty Reception is on March 18th. Thanks to great parent volunteer response, we have already covered the first shift, but we need parents to help serve and clean up from 3:30-6 pm, and to contribute desserts. To sign up, please contact Jenny Cho at: jennycho_26@hotmail.com .
If you can send in a dessert for the reception, please have your students bring them on the day of the reception (March 18th) to the PA room (Room 271).

Lunar Feast and Auction Updates
Reminder: There has been a change in the restaurant that will be hosting our 7th annual Lunar New Year Dinner on Friday, March 19 at 6pm. The new location is the 88 Palace Restaurant (formerly Triple 8 restaurant; Chinese name: Yi Dong Restaurant) at 88 East Broadway, 2nd Floor, NY, NY 10002, 212-941-8886. (Note: the restaurant is located in Chinatown, right underneath the Manhattan Bridge on East Broadway; a map with directions will be posted on the PA website).
Here's a great idea! Why not buy tables at the Lunar Feast with other parents from your child's team or other after-school activity? Thanks go to the Debate Team parents, who have already purchased two tables as a group -- talk to your kids' friends' parents and sign up!
