323 Hakka Gathering in Guan-Si, Hsin-Chu, Taiwan

Dear Hakka Taiwanese:
We have done this one...together!
60 plus friends met with passion, with love of our Hakka language, culture and our urgency of Taiwan identification.
It is an unforgetable experience. 
For sure, there are plenty rooms for the improvement, especially it seems that most friends are not used to control time of speaking.  We believe this could be better with more practices. But the high spirit of our participation is unsurpassed!
Thanks to the host (Lou Family) for offering us a first class venue - TaiHon Tea Museum. Most of all, their strong supports in many respects, including a delicious lunch treat with fine tea service... they are just super !Their generosity is highly appreciated by all of us.
Thanks to Dr. Chiuto Chen and Mr. David Lai for Co-Chairing this Gathering. Good job!

Our 4 designated speakers are excellent.
Mr. CS Lou might have enlightened many Hakka elite to work on preserving their own home towns' History and Culture. Tai-Hon Tea Museum has set a perfect example for all.
Mr. Azen Yang did a great review of his campaign in 2009 Election, he has made a few key points in Political and Social movement within Taiwan. His long time dedication in Hakka's social movement enhanced with his stepping up to the political campaign.
Dr. Changchi Lee shared with all What is Hapa-Na, and What kind of activities had been done in the pat 20 years...plus his own visional thinking for What overseas Hakka Taiwanese can do in the near future.
Ah Kuen Goh, as usual, we all need such a talent in a big gathering. He showed his own observation about how Hakka express our exclamation with our mother tongue. He really knows how to get all audience to be interactive as a group.

Two of our good volunteers, Mr. John Huang and Ben Liu did a good reception desk. They showed up early to set up the reception desk and make sure that every one have name badge and keep a very complete information of the registration.

So excited to see many faces with expectation that Hakka can meet and exchange our onw viewpoints in a format of Toastmasters Meeting.  Boy oh boy, as a coordinator for this 323 Hakka Gathering, I found easily that we can have 60 speakers, one for each month...
Maybe, pretty soon, in different Hakka town, we all shall meet again.
