Ching Ming, or Quingming,means "Clear and Bright". A day for mourning the Dead,a day for Chinese families to visit their ancestors and relatives graves.Ching Ming falls early in April every year and corresponds with the onset of warmer weather,the state of Spring, and of family outings. This is a one day holiday in most Asian countries for the descendents to "sweep the graves" of their ancestors. It is Not a solemn occasion, but rather a time for happy communion with the family members to show respect for their ancestors.

Us Kiters are there to launch and fly kites as a symbol of the souls ascending to Heaven. This holiday appears similar to the November 1st "Dia De Los Muertos" or "All Saints Day" in Latin or Catholic culture. We may have Crown Hill or another location include a "Guatemala Style" Fly on November 1st. also.

Please RSVP by April 1st to the Asian Chamber of Commerce office by calling (303)595-9737 or email asiancc@rmi.net Please mention you're a Kite Flier and how many guests. Or just tell us here at RMKA and we can pass along the RSVP
