* Crane House, The Asia Institute, Inc., is hosting an Asian Health Fair - Demonstrations and information available include Tai Chi, Acupuncture, Dance, Martial Arts, Qigong breathing and Yoga. Instructors and practitioners will be available to answer questions during the event. Also, a Kroger Pharmacist will conduct blood pressure checks and hepatitis screenings will be available. Humana will provide computerized health information. Free and open to the public.
** Asia Experience – Participants receive a tour of Crane House (including the Asia Gallery of traditional artifacts), a brief history of Crane House, and an introduction to the Chinese tea ceremony. Asia experience is free, but reservations are required.
*** KET will air "Citizen Kentucky/Citizen China: Hope for a New Century" Based on a forum at University of Kentucky last year, the show maps Kentucky connections to China across commerce, education, the arts, religion, adoptions, health care, and news and sports. It's a great conversation starter, as the Olympics in Beijing ramp up. “Campaign” is a sometimes tragic and often comic Japanese version of Tammany Hall as an inexperienced, unsupported and reluctant candidate is plucked from obscurity and forced to run for a seat on a suburban city council.
