January 22, 2004, brings in the Chinese Year of the Monkey 4071. Years of the Monkey include: 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, and 2004. We invite you to join the celebration.

This year is extra special as it will be the 35th annual event for the Sien Lok Society and as such we are putting on an extra effort. We're pulling out all the stops to bring in the Year of the Monkey. Enjoy a delectable traditional 10 course Chinese Banquet dinner with friends and family while being entertained by an impressive list of local talents all night! Hear about the entertaining character of the legendary Monkey King who has enthralled generations with stories of his adventures for over 500 years. Take a complimentary photo of the evening home with you to commemorate the festivities. As well we have fabulous opportunities to win all sorts of prizes all inspired by the upcoming Monkey year! Our very own Audrey Kwan and Mike Lee have consented to MC the event just one more time. And as usual our local politicians come for the fun as well.

It will be a singular experience to welcome in the Year of the Monkey! As always this event sells out quickly...before the tickets are even printed. There are very limited seats left.

Here are the event details for those interested...
