On Saturday, Nov. 17, 2013, Bellaire Chinese Club (BCC) hosted a car wash at Firehouse Subs located near the intersection of Stella Link and Bellaire Blvd. Members volunteered for the event in order to help raise money for the club. The funds earned at the car wash are intended for the use of paying for the club t-shirts.
BCC is a club that promotes Chinese culture. It has been extremely popular not only among Chinese students but also among other students. The club, unlike any other club, covers two yearbook double-spread pages in order for all of the members to be shown because of its 100+ members. Junior Kevin Xie, treasurer and historian of BCC, shares his opinion of the club and what appealed him to it.
“It’s a club where I can not only share but also embrace my Chinese culture,” Xie said. “I like it because it’s fun to be around fellow Asians and non-Asians”
Although the car wash took place on a hot day under the scorching sun, members still eagerly participated in the club’s fundraising event. Xie volunteered and describes his overall experience during the day
