Malden to host fundraising gala for Chinese community
The Chinese Culture Connection will be presenting its Fundraising Gala and Awards Ceremony for the 19th consecutive year at Ming’s Seafood Restaurant in Malden next month.
This event will feature a feast with a traditional Chinese banquet of 10 courses. There will also be silent and live auctions with a selection of experiences and items that support the mission of the organization to preserve the Chinese cultural heritage in the community.

Linda Zalk, a community activist and special education teacher, will receive the Edward F. O'Connell Inspirational Service Award for her work to better the lives of others.
