NCLS Weekly Newsletter on 08-MAR-2013

Dear NCLS parents:

The eighth of March holiday is meant to appreciate those who have the big but quiet influence in our lives. She can be a wife, a mom who balances work and home beautifully, or grandma, a loving sister, a hard-working teacher, a caring friend…Let’s look around us to find those women in our lives, and say to them: Happy International Women’s Day!

We have the following notes for you this week-

The Day School needs the auditorium this Sunday

The Day School students and teachers have to use the school auditorium for their students’ musical event this Sunday, as the event had to be rescheduled from Friday to Sunday due to the snow.

The auditorium will be used by the Day’s this weekend. Our 成人运动健身 Adult Aerobic Exercise class and 儿童民族舞 Children Chinese Folk Dances will be conducted in the gym. We need to ask the parents’ basketball groups to give in the gym this Sunday for the impacted classes. Thank you!

For all parents, please make sure to pick up the students at 5pm sharp from the classrooms, and leave the school building right after the classes are finished. Day School appreciates our cooperation and our support to the Day’s community on this request.

The Yard Sale on Sunday

The annual fundraising yard sale for the Support Education Project will be held in NCLS at the Day Middle School Cafeteria on March 10th, 2013.  We welcome all NCLS families to participate in this meaningful event. Please donate items for the yard sale and label your items with your suggested prices. In addition, please bring some pocket money to buy things from the yard sale. When you buy items at very reasonable prices, you also support some disadvantaged young kids to complete their high school education in China. All yard sale items will be sold at customer prices(means you price the items yourself)except labeled items.  Business owners can register booths to conduct businesses at the yard sale(one day only). The registration fees will go to the Support Education Project, while business profits belong to owners.   Please check the link for details.

勒鎮3華裔 當選鎮議會代表
記者唐嘉麗麻州勒星頓鎮報導 世界新聞網 北美華文新聞、華商資訊
 

華人居民眾多的波士頓西郊勒星頓鎮4日舉行鎮內選舉,三位參選鎮議會(town Meeting)代表的華裔候選人,順利當選。候選人宣布勝選的同時,許多華裔選民為勒鎮華人參政的覺醒與行動感到驕傲。今年參選勒星頓鎮議會代表的華裔參選人有第七選區的蕭廣松、第一選區的羅紅斌,及第八選區的鄧遠志(Timothy Y. Dunn)。其中蕭廣松、羅紅斌是來自中國的第一代移民。鄧遠志則是土生土長的第二代華裔子弟。

蕭廣松數周前做參選決定,並有幹練的競選部經理胡小非襄助、早早展開競選活動。他在第七選區八名候選人中,以第二高票當選鎮議會代表。他說,選舉日當天,他到選站舉牌,發覺投票者相當稀落。但之後聽選站人員說,這是所見華人選民投票最踴躍的一次。

蕭廣松表示,大家共同創寫了勒鎮華人參與地方政治的歷史里程碑記錄。他感謝妻子的支持,十歲女兒為他設計競選牌、陪伴他步行向鄰居拜票;胡小非的鼓勵與指導;王衛東、李波平的啟發和分享競選經驗;眾多義工的協助。

他說,未來的三年任期中,他將盡全力服務社區,也呼籲大家多提建議、意見和加強溝通聯絡。

兩周前聽說第一選區鎮議會代表參選人不及席次名額,在胡小非的強力鼓勵下,羅紅斌才決定出馬參選。由於太靠近投票日,名字已來不及印上選票,羅紅斌必須靠選民填寫名字(write in )再圈選的方式獲得選票。所幸胡小非和她住在該選區的洋朋友們大力幫忙。成功擊敗另一名也是臨時以write in方式競選的候選人,順利當選。

30出頭的鄧遠志在勒鎮出生長大,畢業自麻省理工學院,結婚後,又搬回勒鎮。他說,為了兩名將在勒星頓成長的年幼孩子,自己現在就必須開始熟悉和參與勒鎮事務。

胡小非說,此次選舉,讓華人在鎮議會代表的人數從兩人增至五人,增加150%。大家都非常興奮。一年半前,勒星頓華人協會(CAAL)之下成立社區工作小組後,勒鎮華人參與公共事務的熱誠被激發和鼓舞。從參與馬丁路德金恩誕辰遊行、勒鎮教育基金(LEF)籌款會、勒鎮300周年慶系列活動,至去年和今年的選舉,已明顯看到華人參與主流與公共事務的覺醒意識。「還有長路要走,我們會繼續努力」,她說。
