Without our MCs Julia and Kyle, our program would not run as good as we expected.
There are NJCCSF members and friends working behind the scene for the event and their dedication and supports are highly appreciated. Good spirit and team work!
I humbly thank all that involved in this great event and hope that we will have the Second Chinese Cultural Project Contest next year.
Yours sincerely,
Kelvin Yu
