      <title>华社翻新工程进展更新  Update on the CCC Renovation Project</title>
      <description>&lt;p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;华社翻新工程进展更新&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;华社翻新工程于2026年1月22日取得Colonie Town开工许可，于1月26日正式开工。目前工程进展顺利，各阶段施工均已通过town现场检查。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;昨日完成了关键工程：拆除大厅原有四根柱子，并成功安装 36英尺、重2000多磅的主钢梁及支撑立柱，该项目也已顺利通过检查验收。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;接下来将进行大厅吊顶、电线与照明安装、部分墙面和地板修复以及整体油漆等工作。预计工程还需约3–4周完成。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;装修完成后，华社大厅将更加 宽敞、明亮、焕然一新，为各俱乐部和社区活动提供更好的场地。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;感谢大家一直以来的理解、耐心和支持！&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;Update on the CCC Renovation Project&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;The long-planned renovation project received the construction permit from the Town of Colonie on January 22 and officially began on January 26. Since construction started, the project has been progressing smoothly, and every stage of the work has successfully passed the Town of Colonie’s inspections.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;Yesterday marked one of the most critical steps of the renovation: the removal of the four columns in the main hall and the installation of a 36-foot main steel beam weighing over 2,000 pounds, along with the supporting column for the beam. This major installation has also successfully passed the Town of Colonie’s inspection.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;The remaining work will include completing the ceiling in the main hall, electrical wiring and lighting installation, repairing portions of the walls and flooring, and painting. The renovation is expected to take another three to four weeks to complete.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;Once finished, the community center will have a more spacious and refreshed environment, providing a much better venue for clubs and community activities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;Thank you all for your understanding and continued support!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>亚洲之声钢琴比赛  Sound of Asia Piano Competition</title>
      <description>&lt;p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;The Sound of Asia Piano Competition has come to a joyful and successful close. We extend our heartfelt&amp;nbsp;&lt;span data-markjs="true" style="background-color: rgb(207, 228, 250);"&gt;&lt;font color="#005394" face="inherit"&gt;congratulations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;to all participants for their dedication, artistry, and inspiring performances. Each pianist brought not only technical excellence, but also musical sensitivity, courage, and a genuine love for sharing their voice through music. The stage was filled with beautiful moments that reflected the hard work of students, teachers, and families alike.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;What makes the Sound of Asia Competition truly unique is its special focus on the rich and diverse repertoire of Asian composers. While many competitions center primarily on Western classical traditions, Sound of Asia was created to celebrate the musical heritage, colors, and cultural stories of Asia. Through this platform, young musicians have the opportunity to explore distinctive musical languages, connect with broader cultural perspectives, and help bring these meaningful works to a wider audience.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;We hope this event serves not only as a competition, but also as a growing artistic movement. We warmly encourage all students and teachers to continue discovering, performing, and sharing the music of Asian composers. Your participation helps these voices be heard, appreciated, and carried forward to future generations. We look forward to welcoming you again next year as we continue our journey to celebrate the beauty, diversity, and spirit of Asian piano music.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;On January 8th of 2026, the Chinese Community Center (CCC) - Young Professionals Club （YPC） hosted a New Year’s Welcome Party. The event marked the club’s first gathering since becoming inactive in 2020, &amp;nbsp;celebrating a long-awaited reunion and the vibrant relaunch of YPC.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;2026年1月8日，华社Young Professionals Club（简称 YPC）举办了一场新年聚会。这次活动是 YPC 自2020年暂停活动以来的第一次线下聚会，开启了俱乐部重建之旅。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cccalbany.org/resources/Pictures/YPC2026/IMG_1178.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;College students and young professionals across a range of fields came together to meet new people, connect with the local community, and celebrate the start of the new year. Attendees represented industries from engineering and computing to medicine and biosciences, and included students from colleges such as RPI, Stony Brook, and NYU.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cccalbany.org/resources/Pictures/YPC2026/IMG_1177.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="width: 49%; height: auto;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="https://cccalbany.org/resources/Pictures/YPC2026/IMG_1176.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="width: 49%; height: auto;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;The evening kicked off with food and casual conversation as everyone got to know each other over pizza, homemade mulled wine, and desserts. Members shared hobbies and New Year’s resolutions, many of which (unsurprisingly!) involved getting healthier in 2026.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font face="arial unicode ms, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;当晚来自&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;RPI&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;，&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;Stony Brook&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;，&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;NYU&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;等学校的大学生和各行各业的年轻职场人士聚到了一起，吃吃喝喝，轻松聊天，气氛很热闹。大家一边享受披萨，甜点和会员自制的热红酒，一边分享自己的兴趣爱好和新年愿望。说到新年目标，果然少不了那几样最常见的：要更健康，要多运动，要减肥。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cccalbany.org/resources/Pictures/YPC2026/IMG_1175.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="width: 32%; height: auto;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="https://cccalbany.org/resources/Pictures/YPC2026/IMG_1174.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="width: 32%; height: auto;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="https://cccalbany.org/resources/Pictures/YPC2026/IMG_1173.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="width: 32%; height: auto;"&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;The club also hosted an informational session on the NYS Youth Peer Advocates Credential, encouraging students and young professionals to support peers experiencing mental health challenges and help strengthen our community together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;此外，&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;YPC&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;还安排了&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;NYS Youth Peer Advocates Credential&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;的简单介绍，鼓励大家互相支持，帮助正在经历心理健康挑战的同伴。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cccalbany.org/resources/Pictures/YPC2026/IMG_1172.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="width: 50%; height: auto;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="https://cccalbany.org/resources/Pictures/YPC2026/IMG_1171.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="width: 48%; height: auto;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;As the night went on and everyone settled in, the group moved into board games, laughter, and debate. A variety of games were available throughout the room, and two crowd favorites quickly emerged: Uno and Trial by Trolley. One table filled with fast-paced chaos, while the other sparked comedic trolley-problem debates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial unicode ms, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;自我介绍和吃饭之后，大家就进入了桌游时间。我们准备了各种游戏，大家自由组队，换桌玩，笑声不断。其中最受欢迎的两款是&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;UNO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;和&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;Trial by Trolley&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;。一桌投入在&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;UNO&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;的&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;“&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;混战&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#407600"&gt;，另一桌则是围绕电车难题展开的爆笑辩论，讨论到停不下来。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;20世纪60年代，Mary 与丈夫陈湘明来到Albany。她在纽约州立大学取得硕士学位后长期在纽约州图书馆任职，其认真负责的工作态度及温暖的待人方式广受赞誉。70年代起，Mary 积极参与华社事务，并成为华社最重要的骨干力量之一。无论是早期资源匮乏的年代，或华社后来发展的每一个阶段，都能看到她忙碌的身影。自 2006 年起，Mary 担任华社的 building manager，负责华社房屋管理、维修协调、日常事务等无数琐碎却关键的工作。她在最艰难的时期挺身而出，保持华社的环境整洁、运作顺畅，是社区不可或缺的守护者。除了行政与管理工作，Mary 还参与组织春晚、秋季郊游、夏季野餐、社区清洁日、老人联欢活动等众多项目，她几十年如一日地投入时间与精力，常常默默付出、不计辛劳。从 1976 年起，Mary 也是华社合唱团的重要成员之一，四十多年坚持参加排练与演出，为社区带来无数温暖而动人的音乐时刻。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 17px;" face="Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif"&gt;古琴作为中国传统文化的瑰宝，承载着丰富的历史和文化内涵。古琴在中国传统文化体系中不仅是一种音乐类属，而且关涉着形之上下的诸多范畴。琴史的脉络不只反映古琴功能、流派等的嬗变，还承载着礼乐意志，蕴藏士人心态观念的幽微寄寓，古琴，可谓中国传统人文精神的重要载体。本课程希望会通以上方面，提供全面了解古琴文化的视阈，提升综合人文修养。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 17px;" face="Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif"&gt;通过逐步的古琴的音乐演奏，掌握古琴演奏的气息与表现方式。随着深入学习，选曲风格将极具特色。无论技法还是情感意境表达都迥然不同。需深刻理解曲意，左右手指法娴熟，轻重缓急、吟猱绰注等细节处理得当。此学习需表达自己对琴曲的理解及精神追求。培养音乐审美和表现能力，同时掌握音乐创作能力，可以通过音乐创作和演奏，激发自己的创造力和想象力，将各种妙处尽汇于此，达到天人合一、物我两忘的境界。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 25px;" color="#333333" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;The Chinese Community Center (CCC) was founded in 1973&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 25px;" color="#333333" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;and&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 25px;" color="#333333" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;serves&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 25px;" color="#333333" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;over 10,000 Chinese Americans in the Capital Region.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 25px;" color="#333333" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Since its grand opening in 2006, generations of Chinese, Chinese Americans and non Chinese who are interested in Chinese language and culture have been celebrating and bonding in the current building located on 11 Avis Dr, Latham.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 25px;" color="#333333" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Post pandemic, CCC has evolved into one of the major multi-culture ambassadors in the Capital Region.&amp;nbsp; During 2024 Lunar New Year, CCC performed &lt;strong&gt;10 Lunar New Year and multi-culture events&lt;/strong&gt; during the 2 months of the festival period, including 3 libraries ( Colonie, Guilderland, Clifton Park), 3 elementary school (Forts Ferry, Boght Hill, Woodland Hill Montessori), and 2 high schools (Albany High, Schenectady High) along with a Lunar New Year Art Exhibition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 25px;" color="#333333" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;In addition to its Sunday Chines School, CCC also operates 10 on going &lt;strong&gt;weekly activities and clubs:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;3 dance clubs including (Folk dance, Square dance, Tai Chi Fa), Math club for grade K-10, Calligraphy class, Ping Pong Club, Body sculpture club, CCC choirs and CCC Peking Opera Academy.

      <title>2022 华社和中文学校的新年寄语</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;尊敬的华人社区朋友们：&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;祝大家新年快乐！&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;我们谨代表纽约首府华社及中文学校的全体工作人员向大家致以最真诚的问候和祝福，同时也向大家简要汇报最近一年多来的工作。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;自&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;2020年3月份始，新冠疫情阴霾黯黯，极大增加了开展各项工作的难度，但我们全体志愿者牢记服务社区的初衷，厉兵秣马，砥砺前行。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;抗疫初期，口罩和防护服等&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;PPE急缺，我们审时度势，在社区志愿者的协助下，短短几周内募捐到抗疫善款6万余元，并快速从不同渠道采购到医疗防护具12万余件捐献到本地多个医疗机构、养老中心、老兵俱乐部、超市、餐馆等。这个过程中华人社区体现出来的共情、协作精神令人非常敬佩和感动：志愿者们分组讨论采购护具的渠道、质量、价格、周期，争取最大化地利用珍贵善款并以最快速度运送至急需的抗疫一线，发挥这些护具的最大效用。这一系列行动展示了华人关心社区，敢于担当，勇于奉献的精神面貌，为华人下一代树立了良好的榜样。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;虽有疫情阻挡，华社志愿者们在保障安全的前提下尽量保障各项社区活动有序进行。例如&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;2020、2021两年皆参加万国节（FON - Festival of Nations）的所有三项（才艺，美食，Miss FON竞赛）节目，延续了华人社区作为这一活动的主要参与者传统。2021牛年线上春晚为70多个家庭送去了充满欢声笑语的浓浓节日气氛。还有许多其他活动在筹备之后，由于疫情反复不得不取消，例如2021年夏季烧烤大会，志愿者们实地考察了首府周边近十处公园场地并预定了其中之一，但却由于2021年8月份第二波疫情高峰来袭而取消，虽有遗憾，但并不沮丧，因为保障社区的健康安全而舍弃所付出的时间精力是值得的。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;团结社区，同仇敌忾。针对仇恨亚裔犯罪，我们联系本地社区成员接受&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;Times Union记者采访，参加电台节目等，让华人社区的声音通过报纸，广播等形式被更多人听到。同时邀请学者和社区成员一起交流华裔移民历史，讨论现状。在2021年3月22日Albany “Stop Asian Hate” rally的活动中，许多志愿者积极响应，制作了三百多面标语牌，带到游行现场分发，壮大了此次活动的声势。除了喊出我们的声音，也需准备必要的知识和技能保护自己，因此在Clifton Park Town Supervisor的帮助下，Saratoga County警长和他的助手们为社区举办了一期安全防护法律法规培训以及两期自我防护格斗技巧培训。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;与此同时，中文学校在校董事会、校长、&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;PTA领导下，在所有老师和家长的积极协助下，有效应对疫情管控需求所带来的挑战，2020年三月份疫情爆发初期，第一时间将线下课程转为线上授课，尽力保障授课质量和学生的学习进度。在莫琳校长的领导下，中文学校2020-21学年在被迫改为全线上授课的情况下，依然开展了各项课程共41门，包括22个中文课班级和19个兴趣班，招收学生超过230名。各项教学任务按计划实施并于学年末顺利完成，包括成功组织了AP网考，YCT网考和笔试。学校在2020-21学年克服种种困难将以往各项活动搬到网上，成功举办了网上的讲故事比赛，网络晚会以及参加2020新年中文文化大乐园冬令营活动等。2021-22学年，中文学校与Shaker Middle School合作，恢复了线下授课，提供了总共49门课程和俱乐部活动，吸引了总共288名学生和家长回归中文学校的实体教学授课和活动。在刚刚结束的2021秋季学期，在行政团队和PTA团队的密切配合和精心组织下，中文学校成功举办了讲故事比赛和圣诞新年演出，通过学生，家长和教职员工们的积极参与，持续在纽约首府华人社区里发挥着可观的影响力。在疫情不断出现反复的当下，中文学校的教师团队，行政团队和PTA团队密切配合，合理而有效地应对着各项挑战和处理各种风险，保证实体课教学和线下活动得以顺利进行。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;一路行来并非坦途，我们却时刻被鼓舞着，因为有无数社区志愿者的热心支持，有许多商家的慷慨赞助，有社区所有成员的关心，我们有信心遇山开路，逢水架桥，勇往直前。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;2022虎年春晚定于1月30日在SUNY Albany PAC举行，正在紧张筹备中，欢迎大家关注！&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;祝朋友们新年快乐，&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="KaiTi"&gt;2022一切顺利，愿疫情阴霾早日散去，大家都能回归正常生活，健康平安！&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>2021 为逝者祈祷，为平等呐喊。关注亚裔抗争集会</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;各位华社朋友：&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;自从去年新冠疫情爆发以来，全美发生了3千多起针对亚裔的暴力&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;事件和仇恨犯罪，这些暴力行为直接威胁着我们的生存，威胁着我&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;们的家庭生活和社区安宁。亚特兰大市的3起枪击案，夺去了8个无&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;辜的生命。我们再不能像无助的猎物任人宰割，更不能让我们的孩&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>CCC 2018 Annual Picnic</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Location: 1 Camp Nassau Lane Pr. Slingerlands, NY 12159&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Date: August 18, 2018&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Time: 12:30 pm – 5:30 pm&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The highly anticipated event this summer has been the CCC annual picnic at the YMCA Adventure Camp, which was held on August 18, with over 300 people in attendance. The annual picnic is an event for members and non-members alike to meet new friends, to catch up with old friends, to be together to enjoy a wonderful day in fresh outdoor air, or just a chance to get some exercise, or perhaps even&amp;nbsp; to gain professional networking opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The weather forecast had not been good the night before, and there were several heavy showers in the early morning. However by 10: 30, bracing the constant drizzles, all the passionate, hard working, and high spirited volunteers had arrived and started getting ready for the event.&amp;nbsp; As a final touch, miraculously the rain started to die down around 11:45 and gradually a nice clear sky appeared and a gentle wind started to permeate the beautiful camp.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The lunch staff led by Sanglee Wong had ordered enough food with varieties to satisfy everyone’s discerning palate.&amp;nbsp; The local Chinese restaurant the Pebbles even set up a small cookery on site to offer free street foods such as fried banana! Before the delicious lunch was served the YMCA staff welcomed us. This year is the second year CCC held the annual picnic at the YMCA facility and both parties were grateful for the successful cooperation so far.&amp;nbsp; The event reached the climax with the raffle drawing. There were 33 lucky winners for magnificent raffle prizes offered by supporting local merchants, including many gift cards valued more than $100! It is worth mention that several local merchants and nonprofit institutions set up booths as a way of supporting this event. All together they donated $4000 towards the 2018 CCC picnic. Kudos is due to the picnic fundraising team led by Xiaoqing Zhang and Yue Lei.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new CCC President Yan Wang took the opportunity to introduce her team members, volunteers and the Board Chair Lee-Hua Miaw.&amp;nbsp; A ceremony was also held for the three 2018 Outstanding Service Awards recipients- Dayu Huang, Shaopeng Liu and Xufeng Sun, many Outstanding Service Award recipients and many Service Award recipients. Last but not the least; Congressman Paul Tonko made a brief remark to update the issues facing the congress and issues of concern to the immigrant communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After the lunch and the official programs, happy adults and lively young children scattered away to various sports courts and activities and laughter filled the entire camp site. The YMCA Adventure Camp is a vast facility with abundance of greenery. It is equipped with athletic fields, basket courts, tennis courts, beach volleyball, ga-ga ball pit, playground, bounce house, rock wall, zip-line, swimming pool, paddle boats and archery range, with the&amp;nbsp; play area, archery range, beach volleyball, ga-ga ball, bounce horse, rock wall and tennis courts being CCC families’ favorites.&amp;nbsp; In a nutshell the Camp is a facility for all ages. To be even more inclusive our Executive Team added the Zumba Dance and a professional photo booth to take free headshots and family pictures. A team of professional photographers and videographers documented the entire event.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The picnic camp ended at 5:30 and together we had a memorable, exciting and fun time spent with families, friends and new acquaintances. All of us look forward to being a part of the 2019 CCC picnic again, and we invite you to join us in 2019 if we missed you this year.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>June 28th Board Meeting of CCC</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;The board meeting took place on Thursday 28&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; June 2018 at CCC. The meeting started with outstanding items from the previous meeting that needed to be updated or discussed further. Ex-CCC president Dayu Huang reported events held recently and some items concerning the CCC finance. Xufeng Sun, the Chinese School Council Chair, motioned to approve the “School Investment Policy”, which had been deliberated in the last two board meetings. The School Investment Policy aims to invest some school fund in a conservative and balanced allocation to keep up inflation in the next seven years. The investment policy was unanimously approved. Building Manager Mary Chen of FDMC reported building revenue and expenses. Controller Zhengyu Pang gave some suggestions to CCC accounts as well as the “CCC Investment Policy” and went over major issues we had encountered during the past year and would discuss them with newly elected treasurer Le Zhang to avoid potential issues in the future. After that, Lee-Hua Miaw motioned to vote on CCC Distinguished Service Award candidates Dayu Huang and Xufeng Sun. Both candidates were approved.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;The meeting also finished the handover ceremony of the ex- and the new President and board members at CCC. Our new CCC President is Yan Wang. New board members are Lee-Hua Miaw, Zhengyu Pang, Jian Xu, Wang Zheng, Haiting Wang, Dan Wu, Li Zhang, Daisy Lin, Yang Wang, Xiaoqing Zhang, Ling Bi, Xiaolan Rong, Le Zhang, Yue Lei, Yimeng Yin ( as an Executive Team staff), Xufeng Sun, Jie Wang, Peng Chen, Luna Zhang, Dawei Liu, Zhanpan Zhang, Mary Chen and Pengbo Sun (as a FDMC staff). The Ex-CCC president Dayu Huang officially handed over the Seal of CCC to the new CCC president Yan Wang. Yan and her new executive team members gave brief self-introduction and were welcomed by all attendees. The 2018-2019 board members also elected Lee-hua Miaw as the board chair and Zhengyu Pang as the vice board chair for the current term which starts on July 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;, 2018.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;At the end of the meeting, we formed executive committee, education committee, FDMC, finance committee, audit committee, Bylaws amendment/revision committee, nomination committee and fundraising committee. Finally, Yue Lei was appointed as the CCC Database Director to be in charge of CCC database.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;The meeting officially ended at a very positive note.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>CCC Enrichment Course Winter 2016</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Dear families,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope you all had a successful fall term. Time flies by. Now we are planning our winter term for 2016!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our new courses are elementary math class, ELA class and Chinese class.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The math class is for grade 3-5 students. As many of you may know, New York State adopted Common Core Standards for Math and ELA which are much more challenging than the previous curriculum. Many school districts track&amp;nbsp;the test results&amp;nbsp;as a measurement&amp;nbsp;starting from 3rd grade&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;place&amp;nbsp;students in accelerated or honor courses when they are older. So it is very important for your child to achieve a higher score. Our math class aims to help your child to prepare for this state exam in early April 2016.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our Elementary English Writing class holds the same goal to prepare students for Common Core Exam.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As usual, our program also includes drawing and Chinese painting class and SAT preparation class.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Based on some parents request, we will open a Chinese class.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our enrichment program will begin on Saturday, January&amp;nbsp;16th in CCC building at 11 Avis Dr in Latham. We have a team of highly qualified professionals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Attached here you will find all the information about course descriptions, instructors' profiles, and registration form. Classes fill up fast, so click the following buttons to sign up your child now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are doing a survey about our programs. It only takes you 5-10 minutes. Please follow the link to complete the survey. Your cooperation will be appreciated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://cccalbany.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3ac1b91911e1cf56022be555&amp;amp;id=e43ef20c03&amp;amp;e=7db9fde046"&gt;&lt;font color="#27638C"&gt;https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DW2MW86&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hua Lin&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Director of CCC Enrichment Program&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;各位家长和同学们，你们好！&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 转眼我们的秋季学期已近尾声。在此我们告知一下2016年冬季学期的课程安排。&lt;br&gt;
  &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
  &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 新增课程包括小学数学班，英语班及中文班。&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 数学班是针对3-5年级的学生。相信大家都了解纽约州已经启用COMMON CORE这一美国教育部颁发的国家标准。实行这一标准后，纽约州的统一考试比从前难度增加了很多，而很多学区都是采用州统考结果来对高年级学生进行分班，并常常将小学的统考成绩作为参考。因此，请大家务必重视此考试。我们新设的小学3-5年级数学班正是为此作准备。&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 同样，小学英语写作班也是为COMMON CORE 的ELA 考试作准备的。&lt;br&gt;
  &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
  &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;此外，应一些家长的要求，我们还将增设中文班。&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;象以往一样，课程还包括美术班，国画班，美国大学入学考试习班，&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;华社文化班将在2016年一月开课。我们拥有一个高质量的专业老师团队。详情请看附件，包括课程安排，老师简历和注册表。&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;名额有限，请大家尽快。点击下面黄色的按键以获取课程设置，老师简介和注册表。最后还有GOOGLE的课时日历。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;为了使文化班课程更加富有特色，特设了一个调查表，希望大家极积参加。&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;font color="#5A6A78"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Dear friends,&lt;br&gt;

The event is open to all, but the first 20 registered attendees will have two minutes each to introduce themselves or present anything they like to. All attendees will have the opportunity to look for connections, e.g., finding people with similar interests, having a start-up idea and looking for partners, looking for a job or internship opportunity, or simply wanting to introduce himsel/herself and make new friends. If something "clicks", more in-depth discussion can follow in the second half of the networking event and beyond. Snacks and soft drinks will be served.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
