亞市政要對華協的祝詞

Gary Kovacic(市議員,市長)

KovacicAs a life Member of the Arcadia Chinese Association, I am very proud of the Association’s accomplishments and contributions to Arcadia and out neighboring cities. My wife Barb and I are also honored t have the members of the Association as our friends.

With a talented Board of Directors and many hard-working volunteers, the Association has become very involved in the life of our city. The Association sponsors outstanding annual events in Arcadia such as Law Day, the Chinese New Year’s Party for seniors, and the Recognition Luncheon for the city’s employees. The Association also hosts fun-filled parties and dinners throughout the year. These events, and many others, help promote inter-cultural understanding and civic virtue.

Arcadia is blessed with an exceptional diversity of residents. As a member of the Arcadia City Council since 1996, I have always pursued the goal of promoting mutual respect and bringing our many cultures together in the spirit of friendship and cooperation. The Association has helped achieve that goal.

Thank you for all your help. You have helped to make Arcadia a wonderful and friendly city.

亞市華人協會在社區與鄰近城市的成就和貢獻使我這個終身會員深感驕傲,內人Barb和我本人也以有華協這樣 的朋友為榮.

這群滿有才華的理事和義工们在社區的各項公益活動中積極投入,例如一年一度與市政府合辦的免費法律 諮詢,為社區年長者舉辦春節午宴,招待市府所有員工,各種各類的社區聯誼..等等,都促進了社區內族裔間 文化交流和相互了解與融合.

亞凱迪亞有幸是一個多元族裔的社區,自從1996年本人擔任市議員以來便在友誼與合作的基礎上致力於不 同族裔與文化的相互尊重和交流,而華協幫助我完成了這個目標.

謝謝你們使亞凱迪亞成為一個美麗和善的城市.

Gail Marshall(市議員,前市長)

MarshallI am pleased to recognize the Arcadia Chinese Association on the occasion of their 24th Anniversary. This marks twenty four years of ACA’s meaningful involvement with and for the City of Arcadia. They have contributed generously in terms of time and money to nearly every service organization now supporting our residents. They have made substantial contributions to the Arcadia Unified School District, the Arcadia Educational Fund, the Red Cross, the Chamber of Commerce, and other organizations too numerous to mention. Their membership can be found at every City event; always dependable, ever willing to assist. The ACA is a valuable asset to this community, and I am delighted to acknowledge their innumerable contributions on this special occasion.

很高興有機會在華協24週年慶時給予他們應得的表揚,這代表了過去24年來華協對社區的貢獻,他們對 各項與居民有關的活動作了金錢與義工的慷慨資助,並對社區裡各個社團,組織作了巨大的貢獻.例如:學區, 教育基金會,紅十字會,市商會等等.在社區各項活動中都可看到他們義工成員的積極投入.亞市華人協會是 亞凱迪亞重要的資產,我很高興能有機會給予他們適當的認可.

John Wuo( 亞市市長)

WuoI remember when we first presented AHS Chinese Parents’ Booster Club to the high school principal and the council PTA, we encountered tremendous resistance and opposition. At the end we were able to prevail.

Arcadia Chinese Association probably faced the same obstacles throughout the years. We had to work extra hard to have a presence in the community. Over the last 20 plus years, ACA has established itself and plays significant role in our community now.

These achievements are earned through all the hard works by volunteering officers, board members and membership at large. I am very proud to be a part of this organization. I wish you the continuous success in any of your future endeavors.

John Wuo (Mayor, September 2005)記得亞市高中華裔家長會草創之初,我們在學校及家長委員會中經過了許多折衝,終能獲得只成功.

華人協會在過去也許也經歷了許多困難,我們必須放入更多的努力才能在社區裡出頭. 20多年來華 協在社區裡已生根立足而且擔當非常重要的角色.

他們的成功是靠著所有義工,理事和全體會員的共同努力,我以是華協成員之一為榮,我祝福你們未 來繼續的成功發展.
