I would like to send the best of wishes to everyone in our Philadelphia Chinese Meetup group, China, U.S.A, and the world. During this special season, there always is an enduring, compassionate, joyous, and loving energy pervading through the 5 elements and human spirit. I hope it is this special vibration that can unify all people, regardless of religion, culture, ethnicity or creed. This new year can offer great prosperity to the world, under the changing of solar and lunar times. It is my wish, that every aspect of society, from the most prosperous to the meager, can benefit from healthy interaction and generosity. With our humble Meetup group of 321 members we build bridges that link the world together. It truly is an honor and a privilege to encourage facilitation of positive communication, amongst a great and varied people. I thank our group, for the responsibility of overseeing the ventures of our esteemed community. Your constructive input and cooperation has been greatly appreciated. The Future of our local group, and the world depends upon our human "will" to achieve and progress endearingly. May we all be thrust into the future, with luminous open minds, and kind sincere hearts. Truly have a glorious ,festive, safe holiday season, and a blissful new year! - Xie Xie (谢谢)

Peace to all, and Season's greetings,
