The Chinese Culture Connection (CCC) marked a milestone weekend with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, opening reception, and community Open House at its new location, 75 Pleasant Street, Suite 403. The celebrations honored 40 years of service, 25 years in Malden, and the start of a new chapter focused on community connection and expanded programming.
The ribbon cutting on Friday November 21included Mayor Gary Christenson, Malden Chamber of Commerce representatives, and CCC Board members. That evening, more than thirty guests enjoyed the opening reception and a live guqin performance by Shin Yi Yang. Executive Director Mei Hung said, “This new space represents not only our past achievements but the possibilities ahead. It gives us the room to dream bigger, serve more deeply, and welcome more people into our community.”
CCC’s new headquarters offers space for early literacy activities, cultural workshops, Taichi classes, a Bilingual Family Library, and the weekly Malden Resident Meetup, fostering dialogue among newcomers and long-time residents. Sunday’s Open House welcomed more than 80 guests, who enjoyed children’s rhyming time, crafts, Chinese games, and cultural demonstrations. Attendees also shared ideas for future programming, which CCC is reviewing.
