It's pretty special to be invited by Elizabeth Lee MLA to be part of the Canberra Liberals Lunar New Year celebrations. Special guests included a range of community representatives, including the Ambassador to China! We were excited to perform for such an exclusive group and to showcase what we love to some VIPs!
