Opportunity to contribute to New York's largest after-work Mandarin Chinese language and culture event and lead in the effort to grow Mandarin Mondays into a distinctive legendary New York after-work weekly cultural event!

This party will be hosted by ConnectionZ Promotions, NYC's #1 entertainment and event planning brokerage network with the mission of connecting New York and the World and promoting peace, respect and cross-cultural understanding.
We partner with 1000+ venues (including Marquee and Mansion), party promoters, event planners, and event services in New York!

http://www.connectionzpromotions.com

We and anybody attending Mandarin Mondays through ConnectionZ Promotions have the whole place to ourselves! Capacity is about 150, which means that we will fill every square centimeter of this venue!

This party was just waiting to happen..and by popular demand (see reasons below):

1) Many native speakers want to make American friends
2) Many American friends want opportunities practice Mandarin Chinese in a relaxed setting
3) There has never been a large scale bridge-building weekly party celebrating Chinese language and culture

We have unlimited potential to grow the party and make a mark on nightlife history as one of the best after-work cultural parties. Our group is definitely the foundation of the party, with such a diverse mix of native speakers, American born-Chinese, and people learning Mandarin Chinese.
We will brand this party so that it will grow and attract people locally and from all over the world, tourists and visitors who are here in-town on Mondays. I will be doing outreach to Chinese organizations, groups and communities, as well as to language schools, your help in spreading the word (if you're excited about the party =)) will be appreciated!
