In a collision of cultures and creativity, SAGE and Grand Connections hosted a New Year Celebration Party on 6th January, 2024 that left taste buds tingling and minds buzzing with excitement.  The culinary centerpiece of the celebration was expertly crafted by  Barbara Ziemann and Jing Chen. Guests enjoyed a fusion of southern USA cuisine with Hoppin' John and traditional Chinese Dumplings, showcasing the diversity of tastes that make up our vibrant community. Beyond the culinary delights, the atmosphere was one of camaraderie and collaboration. Attendees engaged in conversations that ranged from the lighthearted to the strategic, discussing plans and initiatives for the upcoming year. The event served as a platform for the exchange of ideas and the strengthening of connections within the SAGE and Grand Connections community. We extend our gratitude to all who attended and contributed to the success of the event. Here's to a year of continued collaboration, success, and meaningful connections within our community.
