2025 Lunar New Year – 1st General Meeting – February 06, 2025

Per many of your requests, we are excited to announce our AALEA Lunar New Year Party 2025/1st General Meeting on behalf of the Executive Board. As Lunar New Year 4727, Year of the Snake, approaches, we have learned about the significance of this special holiday and how it has been celebrated throughout the Asian American communities in Chicago for a long time. This year, we have chosen our Lunar New Year Dinner to be held on Thursday, February 6th, 2025, at 1830 hours at the New Furama Restaurant 富麗華酒家 at 2828 S Wentworth Ave, Chicago, IL 60616.

We will ask for $50 per person (Members) and $60 per person (Non-Members) for this event. This package includes Drinks (soda & tea), Appetizers, Entrees, & Desserts. All are served in a Buffet-style.

If interested in attending, please respond with your RSVP to this email address (aalea@aalea.org) no later than Monday, February 3rd, 2025, so we can get an accurate headcount. Due to high demand and limited seats, it will be on a first-come, first serve. Your email confirmation will be served as your dinner ticket.

Dinner tickets are to be paid for either at the restaurant’s front entrance upon your arrival or via Zelle: payable to aalea@aalea.org.

To keep our costs low and maximize benefits, once you RSVP, please be there. YOUR ATTENDANCE AND WORDS MATTER!

We will also be having our LUNAR NEW YEAR 2025 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE.

We will offer all Probationary Police Officers “Free AALEA Membership” during their first year probationary period. Please feel free to spread the word.

We are going to have special guests coming to join us that evening!

This will be an excellent opportunity to network, mingle, and socialize in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. The network you gained through AALEA can mutually benefit all members long-term. Unlike our Annual Award Dinner, this event will be informal and only open to AALEA members, guests, and their families.
