ACAN families enjoyed camping workshop at Inks Lake State Park

[Noah Liu] Austin Chinese-American Network partnered with Texas Outdoor Family, a program under Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to host a private camping workshop for members on 9/7-8 at Inks Lake State Park. Our 18 participating families learned important camping and outdoor skills such as setting up a campsite, building a fire, and cooking outdoors. Participants also had the chance to go kayaking, hiking, fishing, stargazing and geocaching within the park. Our families all enjoyed the event greatly, especially the children! We hope that we can organize a similar event sometime in the future.

  • 《秋花明月》9-22 华盟中秋晚会 – 表演回顾

    【 撰稿 明清 西红柿 麦子;摄影 肖宁,张建辉,Hong, Linda, Derek 和锺斌】 九月二十二日中秋佳节之际,奥斯汀华裔联盟举办了一埸盛大中秋文艺晚会。晚会邀请了十二文艺团体,为观众献上了十七个集聚中华文化精髓的文艺节目。从热情奔放的《开门红》拉开晚会帷幕的瞬间,到豪情万丈的大合唱《我們就是世界》的终结演出之时,观众们几乎应接不暇。优雅的歌舞刚完,国粹戏曲就已豋场。旗袍时装表演的倩影还历历在目,时空就已穿越到婉约妙曼的古典舞之中,真是多彩多姿应有尽有。其间,观众掌声此起彼伏,而主持人(Tonya Li, Ellen Chang, Tenghis)精彩美妙的解说更是锦上添花。 这次晚会得到了奥城华人的极大关注和支持。全部入埸券预售一空,很多同胞动手晚了还得四处找退票 – 出现了’’一票难求’’場面。晚会观众中,有奥城的华裔同胞,也大型企业首领,市政府要员,和其他美国朋友。四百人的场地座无虚席,连走道上都是站着看演出的人群。在走道站立的人群中,许多是这次晚会的”特别观众’’。 这些”特别观众’’是’’不请自来’’,请求在现场购票的人士。他们从不同的信息渠道得知中秋晚会消息后慕名而来。其中有美国家庭,也有不懂中文的其他亚裔国家的家庭。有子女同行的,也有单身人士。他们或是在中国工作过,或是曾有机会接触过中华文化。当几经周折,最终我们华盟工作人员同意额外售票给他们时,大家都欣然表示”只要能观看,站着也行’’。他们这种对中华文化的极度热爱,真是让人不能不感动。
