August 21, 2022 Summer Potluck at Lakewood Park was another successful event, bringing together families and friends of the Chinese Women Association of Cleveland (CWA). There was much to celebrate under the Pavilion, where everyone congregated. This was the second- round potluck after last year, which was the first potluck event, a long overdue social gathering after a long hiatus from the pandemic. If there was one thing among many things the pandemic taught us, was, don’t take gatherings for granted. Somehow this was felt that afternoon. Everyone treasured every moment, enjoyed the food, exchanged conversations, caught up with old friends, as well as made new ones. Anna and her team did it again! They pulled off a well- organized event serving about fifty plus members and their family and spouses with sumptuous food and drinks, music, and dance. Food kept showing up, brought in by members who came later. Laughter, smiles, a chatty crowd and popping balloons from the games played. Some members checked out the Solstic Steps at the park, overlooking Lake Erie, and Cleveland at the park’s lookout point. Everyone enjoyed the day, eating and talking, along with other diverse community groups under the Pavilion. The pictures said it all, that members had an unforgettable day. Thank you organizers for putting this together.
