端午龍舟合家歡-清風涼水暢划龍舟來踢走炎夏
鍾博婷、鍾博盈活動時表示,中華佛州華裔青年協會將於6月11日,9am-2:30pm於傑城(Jacksonville),25日,9am-2:30pm於奧蘭多市舉辦<暑期扯鈴研習營-Chinese Yo-Yo Summer Camp>,費用每人只$20(包括扯鈴,點心,請自備午餐)。詳情請聯絡Robert Chung (407)408-5555,或Kenny Chen (407) 683-3693。
中佛州中美協會龍舟隊(C.H.A.R.G.E.)隊長蔣健強活動後表示滿意有多組家庭成員夫妻、父子檔上陣,另有與會的中、外籍僑胞活動後主動申請加入龍舟隊,或查詢有關學習龍舟,或如何協助其工作處組織龍舟隊事宜。
中美協會副會長劉程驥活動後表示,並不滿意與會僑胞人數,畢竟活動原意是為中美協會僑胞會員,及居住中佛州的僑胞可以在中佛州享受到一個傳統的中國節慶 而設,活動所訂舉辦日期亦為遷就僑胞可以在孩子放暑假前而特意安排,租用昂貴的龍舟與專業教練,還有中美協會幹事團隊與中美龍舟隊全體隊員無私盡力地安排 整個活動…。能夠在端午節(6月6日)來臨之際來享受一個真正可以划龍舟活動的端午節,中美協會所辦的算是唯一的一個,亦可能是整個中佛州的唯一。
龍舟運動本來就是一個最能發揮 “團隊精神"的運動遊戲,可喜的是中美協會幹事們便真正發揮了團隊精神。寄望將來再舉辦同類型活動時,能夠獲得華裔僑胞們的熱烈支持。或許有僑胞們認為他 們不懂泳術因而對此項運動郤步,事實龍舟運動有足夠安全措施,龍舟隊員登船都需要配備安全救生背心的。

AACC Business After Hours - Jul 2010 @ Tastings of Orlando
A Taste of the Asian American Chamber of Commerce at Tastings
By Kathy Llamas
The Asian American Chamber of Commerce Business After-Hours venues are as diverse as its members. This year, we’ve held them at the City Arts Factory, Ming Court, Robb & Stucky, Sam’s Club, Orlando City Hall and IKEA. The AACC Business After-Hours for July has been another refreshing experience. It was held last July 15th at Tastings, a Wine Experience, in Downtown Orlando. The event was chaired by AACC Secretary, Coco Johnston who made sure a good time was had by all.
Unlike other AACC Business After-Hours that normally have speakers or a set agenda, the July event at Tastings was laid back to give members and guests a chance to network in a relaxed atmosphere. A unique addition to the evening was the presence of Ruby, a psychic from Las Vegas, who provided free palm and tarot card readings for fun and entertainment. Special thanks go to Steve Piantieri of Tastings for sponsoring the event and providing complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres.
There were also eleven guests also took advantage of the great opportunity to become AACC members. Non-members can avail of the pro-rated membership fee of only $50.00 and enjoy membership benefits until December, 2010 such as free admission to standard Business After- Hours events. For those interested in joining the Asian American Chamber of Commerce, you
may go online at http://www.asianamericanchambercfl.org/.
The next AACC event will be held on August 19, 2010 at the Sonesta Hotel, 60 South Ivanhoe Blvd., Downtown Orlando. The event will be sponsored by the Sonesta Hotel. It is FREE for members and $20 for non-members and guests. We hope to see you there!
