2024.9.17 – Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival

Dear all,

         DACA华人协会的各位新老成员,Dayton华人社区的新朋故友们,大家好!

        首先祝各家各位中秋节快乐!

         时近秋分,夏尚流连。协会决定于下周六,9月28日上午11:00,在Karohl Park举行秋季迎新野餐会。届时我们将有迎新、增补新理事和聚餐活动。现说明如下:

         一、关于增补新理事

       1、历经2019年末以来新冠疫情的冲击和后续的社会动荡,我们理事会团结华人社区的中坚力量在各项事业上不断努力,在诸如坚守、重建、提高、开拓方向上进行了大量工作。以去年夏初复开的国际节为典型,期间涌现了不少的新的热心志愿者。

       2、我们增补新理事的工作走过了数年的客观、主观上的困难,特别是通过最近细致有效的约谈了一批有心参与服务华人社区的爱心人士,他们看到了我们华人协会、华人事业、华人前途的需要,乐意奉献、勇于担当。我们认为值得推举为合适的新理事人选。

       3、值此特别感谢现任理事们,他们因疫情延宕很久,已经坚守岗位多年,而且一直出色地进行着各项工作。向他们的奉献精神表达我们广大华人同胞们的敬意!新任理事到位后,大约会有超过十位共事者,理事会的力量将全面得到加强。

         二、关于当天活动流程

       1、热烈欢迎Dayton地区的华人朋友们欣然前往,共聚一堂, 也欢迎新成员加入DACA大家庭。鼓励你将向朋友转发此信息,也欢迎携带自制食物与大家分享,谢谢保留这个爱心传统的朋友们,同时我们也有许多从中餐馆来的餐食。

       2、我们上午11点开始到场;经过短暂的熟悉环境、交谈暖场、阅读候任理事简历后,11点半我们正式开会,包括会长致词和新理事选举等议程;大约11:50开始聚餐。

       3、活动所在公园设施齐全,聚餐区紧邻儿童游乐区,院内有飞盘高尔夫活动区,只是停车位稍显紧凑,但可停在邻近街道上。公园的地址、网页等相关信息如下:

        Karohl Park

20240318 – DACA 免费电影宣传信 Free Movie Flyer

Free Movie 《Sight》
based on the Chinese American inspiring true story
免费观赏好电影《Sight》,感人至深基于真实华人故事

*English version at the end of the article

        致力于扩大华人声誉影响,提高华人政治地位,谋求华人福利保障, 一直是我们DACA 华人协会多年来不变的理念和行动方向之一。

秉持这一理念,经过数月不懈的努力,我们将在本地推出一项重大活动:将在3/23、3/24两天免费放映两场公益电影《Sight》,电影讲述了中国留学生在美国学习、工作、取得成就并且贡献社会的故事。主人公原型, 杰出的华人代表之一,优秀医生王明旭博士,同时也是一位基督徒,他也将同步到现场演讲他的故事与见证,并签名授书。电影对白是中英双语,并且有对应的字幕。

一、关于这部电影以及王明旭医生的很多信息可参考如下链接:

带有中文字幕的预告片Trailer:

中文报道之一:给世界带来光明的科大校友

https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/p7jY8vtdoYJZyDaPSGzmFg

此项活动对社会效益、文化发扬、华人利益、代际福祉诸方面都有显而易见的正面影响。为促成这一项目,我们DACA 华人社区许多有远见的热心人士付出了辛勤的汗水,取得了奇妙的结果,在整个俄亥俄州“3C1D”四大城市举办的五场放映中,Dayton独得两场。他们中许多人现在仍在积极推动的工作中。

二、具体事项的一些说明:

1、DACA 为本周末的这两场放映,都提供了开演前的免费披萨Pizza招待观众。

2、为了进行顺利,特别是便于预备合理数量的食物,强烈建议你预先注册!详情请见后面的宣传海报Flyer,或者点击下面注册链接:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfAx4HeRsE1z_ilm8RkTOnHFUECKVPJ7Ow2JH3y2jHkq8ridg/viewform

3、注意现场流程,如果想领取食物,请按海报提示的时间提前到场,放映前会结束食物供应。演讲和签名售书会在放映之后进行。

4、电影放映时间和地点:

Saturday March 23, 6:30 PM Movie @ Fairborn United Methodist Church, 100 N. Broad St. Fairborn, OH 45324

Sunday March 24,    1:15 PM Movie @ Dayton Chinese Christian Church,    600 Patterson St. Dayton, OH 45419

(德顿华人基督教会)

三、宣传推动方面的建议,我们认为有四个努力层面:

1、网络社交平台。基于前面所述的共识,请大家动员起来共同推动,如email、微信群等,这方面早已展开,请收到信息和本文的人,广泛散播。

2、机构和社团组织。如各地区的图书馆、学校、各组织机构和社团,借助这些平台推广。

3、政治机构和党派组织。例如,本月初我曾向当地政府工作人员和某些党派竞选者介绍过。请大家根据各自掌握和了解的渠道努力推广。

4、周围认识的人。如你的同事、邻居和朋友。你是否在日常生活、学习、工作中经常觉察到文化差异?是否希望周围的人更加了解你所具备的文化特征和华人服务美国社会的故事。那么现在就是一个为你预备的机会。你可以访问此电影的全国放影代理公司网站:https://www.angel.com/movies/sight

以正常价格三分之一的促销价$5,购买电影票作为礼物送给他们(促销可随时停止),请他们于5/24 Memorial Day Weekend在全国公映时来观看。想想看,把你身边的不同文化背景的人,你的邻居、你的同事、你的朋友请来体验你的文化和华人的故事,这是一个非常聪明的行动。记住,这不仅是华人的故事、亚裔的故事、也是美国人的故事。

谢谢你的参与!所有信息请访问DACA网站:http://thedaca.org/

Hongwei  Yu

President of DACA,

Dayton Association of Chinese Americans

[English Version]

Committed to expanding the influence of Chinese reputation, improving the political status of Chinese people, and seeking Chinese welfare and protection, has always been one of the ethics and directions of our DACA Chinese Association for many years.
With this in mind, after months of unremitting efforts, we will launch a major event in the local area: two free screenings of the charity film Sight” on March 23 and March 24, which tell the story of Chinese students who study, work, achieve and contribute to society in the United States. Dr. Wang Mingxu, one of the outstanding representatives of the Chinese community and a Christian at the same time, will also be present to give a speech on his story and testimony, and sign the book. The dialogue is bilingual in English and Chinese, with corresponding subtitles.
1.  A lot of information about this film and Dr. Wang Mingxu can be referred to the following links:
Trailer with Chinese subtitles:
One of the Chinese reports: HKUST alumni who bring light to the world https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/p7jY8vtdoYJZyDaPSGzmFg
This activity has obvious positive impacts on social benefits, cultural development, Chinese interests, and intergenerational well-being. The hard work of many visionaries and enthusiasts in our DACA Chinese community has led to fantastic results, with Dayton winning two of the five screenings held in the four major cities of 3C1D” throughout Ohio. Many of them are still actively promoting them.
2.  Some explanations on specific matters:
  •  DACA provided free pizza for both screenings this weekend.
  • In order to go smoothly, especially to facilitate the preparation of a reasonable amount of food, it is highly recommended that you pre-register! For details, please see the promotional poster Flyer at the back, or click on the registration link below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfAx4HeRsE1z_ilm8RkTOnHFUECKVPJ7Ow2JH3y2jHkq8ridg/viewform
  • Pay attention to the on-site process, if you want to receive food, please arrive at the venue in advance according to the time indicated on the poster, and the food supply will end before the screening. Presentations and book autographs will be held after the screening. 
  • Movie screening time and place:
    • Saturday March 23, 6:30 PM Movie @ Fairborn United Methodist Church, 100 N. Broad St. Fairborn, OH 45324
    • Sunday March 24, 1:15 PM Movie @ Dayton Chinese Christian Church, 600 Patterson St. Dayton, OH 45419 (Dayton Chinese Christian Church)

3.  in terms of publicity and promotion, we believe that there are four levels of effort:

  • Online social platform. Based on the consensus mentioned above, please mobilize and work together to promote, such as email, WeChat groups, etc. Those who receive the information and who have this article please spread it widely.
  • Institutions and community organizations. For example, libraries, schools, organizations and associations in various regions use these platforms to promote.
  • Political institutions and party organizations. For example, earlier this month I made a presentation to local government workers and certain party candidates. Please work hard to promote it in your network.
  • People you know, such as your colleagues, neighbors, and friends. Do you often feel cultural differences in your daily life, study, and work, and do you want the people around you to know more about your cultural characteristics and the stories of Chinese people serving American society? Then now is your chance. You can visit the national screening agency website for this film at https://www.angel.com/movies/sight

For $5 at one-third of the regular price, buy a movie ticket as a gift (the promotion can be stopped at any time) and invite them to watch it at the national release on May 24 Memorial Day Weekend. Think about it, it’s a very smart move to bring people from different cultural backgrounds around you, your neighbors, your colleagues, your friends to experience your culture and the stories of the Chinese people. Remember, this is not only the story of the Chinese, the story of Asians, but also the story of the Americans.

Thank you for participating! All information is available on the DACA website: http://thedaca.org/
