Dear Union Chinese School,
Hello! We are the Taiwanese-American Student Association from Rutgers University (RU TASA). As a student-run association that spreads awareness of Taiwanese culture at Rutgers, we have a big event called Night Market that emulates the popular night markets on the streets of Taiwan. This year will be our 14th annual Night Market! We also have performances throughout the night, fun games, and authentic Taiwanese deliciousness served fresh by local eateries.
This year's Night Market starts at 6:00 p.m on April 14th at Morrell St., New Brunswick, NJ 08901 between the Rutgers Student Center and where Au Bon Pain used to be. The rain date will be April 16th. The theme for the Night Market will be Kawaii Avenue! This means that there will be cute cartoon characters scattered down the street. This event is not limited to Taiwanese people; everyone is welcome to experience Night Market and learn about Taiwanese culture and cuisine. It would mean very much to us if the students, parents, faculty, and administration of Union Chinese School could support us by attending our event and spreading the word.
If you are interested or have any additional questions, please reply to this email and we will give you more details.
Thank you so much and hope to see you soon,
