The Northwest China Council "offers a variety of services: language classes, language tutors, a translation referral service, interpreters, and workshops to develop basic 'survival skills' necessary for success in China trade and China travel." Their mission is "to increase public awareness of culture and contemporary affairs in Greater China; i.e., mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Chinese diaspora."
Their Mandarin classes start 1/8/07.
Their China Business Network provides meetings and speakers to assist "the local business community with information and tools to help them succeed in the China market." The next CBN program is Wednesday, 1/10/07 from noon to 1:30. The program is "the Business of the Environment and the Environment for Business in China" featuring Dave Einolf, Partner, ERM, Portland.
They are sponsoring a "Chinese Breakfast & 'First Emperor' Opera Extravaganza" on Saturday, 1/13/07.
