Chinese Embassy Picnic a Whopping Success

The Maryland-China Business Council’s annual picnic was an unqualified success and a great time for families and attendees all. Under a pavilion at the wooded Seneca Creek Park in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the food, fun and frolic brought out the best in camaraderie and strengthened the ongoing bond between MCBC and the Chinese Embassy.

We were fortunate to have a day that included weather of all kinds, a mid-day summer rain did little to dampen the spirits of the gathered, as there was much to celebrate and consider as our mutual good fortune.

Mr. Steve Drake, Vice-Chair of the council presided over the event, which featured American and Chinese fare, refreshments, music, a mini-Olympics for the kids and pleasant, relaxed get together. Mr. Xie Feng, Deputy Chief of Mission of the Chinese Embassy provided official and friendly remarks.

Thanks to Kristin Mowry, Tasha Wood and Laura Ding of Mowry International who put the event together, Bo Xuan of the MCBC, who provided the liaison with the Embassy folks and all the MCBC members and supporters who came out to celebrate our friendship.

Let’s do it again next year!
