The Silk Road connects the East and the West. It has been an important channel for communication and trade since ancient times, and a place of cultural integration where many ethnic groups have risen and fallen. This exhibition will introduce cultural relics collected by museums and research institutions in Luoyang, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Dunhuang, and Xinjiang. This is the first large-scale exhibition held abroad after the successful application for World Heritage status, with a total of 44 "first-class cultural relics", which are China's most precious treasures. We will display a group of aromatic treasures from the West and the North, Tang Dynasty masterpieces with deep roots in Japan, and exquisite Buddhist art.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Abilities Tennis clinics. Abilities Tennis of North Carolina (ATANC) provides free tennis programming for athletes with intellectual disabilities ages 8 and up. Our mission is to promote fitness, foster community and champion inclusion for athletes with intellectual disabilities through adaptive tennis. Volunteers play an important role in making these clinics possible for the athletes. Spring clinics will meet on Saturdays from 3:45 - 4:45 PM at Action Park. On Sunday, February 23 there will be a Volunteer Training from 3:00 - 5:00 PM. Volunteers will go through a mock clinic on the courts. We will discuss how to work with athletes with intellectual disabilities and best practices for teaching and volunteering on the tennis court. We'll then work on ball and racquet drills to help teach our athletes the highly adaptive game of tennis. Abilities athletes range in skill level with some learning how to hold and swing a racquet to hit red-dot starter balls and others playing full court with regular yellow balls. Please take a few minutes to watch ATANC's Volunteer Overview video, which helps explain the way clinics are run and how volunteers support the program. Head coach Jessica Rigney will be in touch about registering for spring clinics. Wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes and bring water, sunscreen, and racquet if you have one. Thank you again for your support. This time on the court will certainly be the highlight of your week! Information Source: Abilities Tennis Association of North Carolina (ATANC) | eventbrite
