Avenidas Chinese Community Center Going Strong on Zoom

Avenidas Chinese Community Center office hours on Zoom

April 21, 2020

The Avenidas Chinese Community Center started offering classes and activities on Zoom in March. Pinki Fung shared screenshots from a few of these meetings.

Karaoke Has Not Been Canceled

Our members love Karaoke, so over at Avenidas Chinese Community Center, we tested this out on Zoom. We had fun singing along with songs together.

Live Demonstrations of Chinese Brush Painting Attract a Following

The Avenidas Chinese Community Center provided a free 6-session demonstration on the Lingnan Style of Chinese Brush Painting. This has been a popular demonstration course.

The next class meets Mondays and Fridays April 27 to May 22. Andrew Siu is an internationally recognized master of ink-brush painting who has exhibited in Hong Kong, China and San Francisco. The painting style in this class will mix Eastern and Western techniques with color. Beginners welcome.

If you are interested in participating in this class, please email Rosie Chow and Pinki Fung. Make sure to include your name, email address, and contact phone number, and put “brush painting class” in the subject.

Space is limited, so pre-registration is required. Art supplies will not be provided.

“PinkRose” Office Hours Are a Hit

Avenidas Chinese Community Center (ACCC) offers online Office Hours twice a week on Mondays and Wednesday at 1:00pm via Zoom. It has been a way for our members to ask questions or just to check in on each other.

Groceries are just one of many things we talk about during office hours. It turned out two of our members bought the same item!

Learn & Practice Cantonese Online

Teacher Ingrid Lai teaches a fun interactive “Cantonese for Beginners” online class. Shown are students who are currently taking the class. Some are learning Cantonese for the first time, while others have joined to brush up on their Cantonese skills. Each class has been filled with new learnings and laughter. Come join us!
