APALSA's inaugural Lunar New Year Festival was a huge success, with over 150 people in attendance. Performances by the Columbia University Liondance Troupe, Nitchaya Vannasaeng and the Ho Heup Drum Troupe captivated the audience.  Five pairs of movie tickets and a grand prize iPod Nano, courtesy of LexisNexis, were raffled off to lucky guests.  After feasting on Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai food, we capped off the evening with soju cocktails and karaoke.  Thanks again to all of our sponsors, performers and guests!
