2.28-73rd Commemorative Concert (Promotion)

This is the poem that I will recite in my mother tongues, Hakka and Holok, at this upcoming Friday,
2.28-73rd Commemorative Concert.

台灣，你个身分
作者 邱一帆
—————-
台灣，你个身分
你出世在地球
原住民為你安名台灣
自古以來
你拿著个身分證
毋係國家
歷史同你講
你逐擺就做人个奴才
荷蘭喊你Formosa
想望你身項个經濟利益
還有重要个貿易位跡
鄭氏王朝到你這位
同你看做反清復明个基地
清國統治212年
同你變做生存打鬥
無反無生个所在
日本人來這位
共樣殖民統治，共樣經濟榨取
原來
你共樣係殖民个奴才
國民黨來這位
共樣反攻大陸，共樣聯共制台
無安你做國家个名姓
共樣
分人管治
你，安到台灣
你，安到台灣共和國
你，安到樣般
自家做自家个主人
自家決定自家个前途

Big Day of TEA

12.28.2019 Saturday

Today is a big day for TEA -

Taiwan Elite Alliance (優社）

Josephine has established this non-profit organization, 20 years ago. TEA recognizes the elites, and tries to pull the resource from our community to support the elites to achieve their goals.

Over the years, www.TaiwanEliteAlliance.blogspot.com has put up good efforts with our volunteers and sponsors for its commitment. 

Today, we invite our good old friends from our “Hakka Toastmasters Meeting Group” together for the last meeting of 2019.  This should be a lot of fun!

(After the event...)

What a gathering with our “old” Hakka friends! We used to do Hakka toast master program every month... it stopped and we don’t get to see each other often any more! Now we have yearly gathering! Good Hakka food! And the smart and beautiful Mrs. Huang will be 100 next year! Most of our guests are in their 70s and 80s!!

客家好友的聚餐，笑聲連連！健康的黃老太太明年要一百歲了，頭腦清晰，山歌唱不停！

2019 L.A. River CleanUp (4.27.2019)

Two thumbs up for my friend, Shelly Perry Backlar，Friends of LA River, all volunteers, and Taiwan Elite Alliance, Taiwanese United Fund for this great project! So many have turned out. Shelly , you are a great leader with devotion....so happy to see you today! I am extremely touched to see groups of students, parents with young kids, dedicated citizens spreading out to Clean this beautiful river! Few 1st timers shared their feelings and told me how much they’ve enjoyed this good cause! I think The most important concept of this is to make us “rethink” while using/buying/trashing ..!!

一年一度的清河圓滿落幕！感動很多年輕父母帶著孩子一起來。這個活動的主要目的是要提醒大家寔際寔踐環保。你家平日還在買瓶裝水嗎？去超市時是不是不必一直拿塑膠袋？我感受到目前外賣食品的包裝是一大問題⋯⋯加油，朋友們，使用物資時，請，「想」一下，能省則省，一張紙、一個塑膠袋、一根筷子，都會積少成多的！

 It is always fun to gather up all volunteers at the end of our River CleamUp...and having some IMEI’s wafers and join the raffle. (Thanks to Peter and Stephanie donate the Toys, JT & Tea donates the tea and gifts...) We are a Big Family and River is the Mother of our City!

Thank you all and look forward to seeing everyone again in 2020.   
For those missed out today,  mark down your calendar when the 2020 River CleanUp Day set and announced...
