Up Coming Event from Los Angeles Chinatown

Hi,

We're sending this event announcement because of your past participation in our Chinese New Year Firecracker event (Run, Walk or Cycle). "Firecracker" is assuming a support role for this upcoming event in October. However, we'd like you to consider adding this to your calendar. Should be fun, especially the moonlight 5K.
