Celebrate the Year of the Dragon with the Encino Chamber of Commerce

Jan. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- The Encino Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the date of the 2012 Orthodontic Office Dr. Stephen Yu, D.D.S., Chinese New Year’s Celebration Mixer. Dr. Yu’s New Year’s Celebration is the official January mixer of the Encino Chamber of Commerce and has been for many years.

The celebration will be held on Thursday, January 12th at 5pm. The event will be at the Orthodontic Office of Dr. Stephen Yu, which is 17815 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 212, in Encino.

This is the largest Chinese New Year’s celebration in the southern San Fernando Valley. In addition to tasty Chinese food, business and community networking with over 150 people, there will be prizes and Chinese Lion Dancers.

This will be the year of the Dragon. The dragon in Chinese culture has been considered one of the luckiest signs in the zodiac. Therefore, 2012 will be a very good year to get married, have children or start a new business.

Diana Donovan, CEO of the Encino Chamber of Commerce, is looking forward to the mixer and the fun that comes with it. Ms. Donovan said, “This is one of the best mixers of the year.  Dr. Yu and his office staff do a wonderful job to make this a fun event. They invite patients and associates as well as the chamber membership so it is one of the best attended mixers with between 150 and 200 people in attendance every year.”

Those interested in attending this event may contact the Encino Chamber office, or the office of Dr. Stephen Yu at 818-708-4909.
