Year of the RoosterWelcome to Cynthia Shaver Asian Art Appraiser Newsletter February 2017

Happy New Year of the Red Rooster,

The year began with a special culinary New Year dish delivered to our door as a thank you by a community business, along side a freshly cooked crab still warm. This will ensure a very healthy and prosperous year. Let’s share our special foods with neighbors. Please be active in your communities, that weaves our infrastructure.

With thumbs up,
Cynthia
