We were very excited to be invited to Chinese New Year Dinner Party hosted by owners of Twin Dragon, the most reputable Chinese restaurant in Cheyenne. During the party, we were happy to see how owners connected with their employees at all levels and how they created a workplace that everyone felt like they were part of a family.

Also, we’d like to show our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the supporting and caring provided by our Bicycle Station. WE ARE FAMILY!

We had a great time! Thank you all!
