Dear Robert Janik:

It was really nice talking to you regarding sharing our Educational Trips to China with your Agawam Education Association members.  Per our conversation I am emailing the trip information below.

We are the Chinese American Cultural Bridge Center (CACBC), a non-profit organization promoting cultural exchange since 1992.  We organize educational tours for educators, and would like to share this information with the Agawam Education Association, hoping it can be passed on to your members through email, newsletter, or other forms of communication vehicle you use to share information with your members. 

For 2013 & 2014 we have three very special trips that are created for current and retired educators alike, they can share the knowledge they will learn on the trip (such as learning how to speak everyday Chinese language, visiting a Chinese school and socialize with students and teachers, visiting historical sites, learning how to make Chinese dumpling, and more) with their students and fellow educators, and at the same time earn 50 CPDU's issued by the state of Illinois at the completion of the trip.  The details are highlighted below.  Two of the itineraries is planned at a time when educators are off in the summer time, one of them is the Dynasty Tour to China, and the other one is the Silk Road Tour to China that follow in the foot step of Marco Polo.  The other one is for retired educators called the Land and Cruise Tour to China.  You can find all the information on our website at http://cacbc.org/Educational_Tours/
