Many thanks to Lexington Education Foundation for hosting Charles Yu, author of Interior Chinatown, as he discussed his book with LHS students & the Lexington community.

Representatives of CAAL conveyed to Charles how meaningful his book is in helping students learn about the Chinese-American experience. It was a well attended event. There were many great questions raised by the audience. Charles’s sharing was candid and authentic.

喜悦是树上红彤彤的苹果。在温暖的秋阳下，我们相遇在莱镇第一届草本节、公益义卖会… 一张张笑脸与红苹果相映，述说着相聚的欢乐。
喜悦是果园里饱满的紫色葡萄。一串串从藤蔓上垂下来，像久别重逢的兄弟姐妹一样紧紧相拥。华协迎新会欢天喜地，张开热情的双臂迎接了几十户新居民加入我们的社区。
喜悦是秋天丰收的果实。华协总统义工奖申请者人数突破历史纪录。去年秋天播种的种子，历经了三百六十五个日子的辛勤耕耘，在这个秋天结出沉甸甸的果实。季节不语，九月用收获给你答案。

We had a unforgettable ride on Oct 10 to honor Chinese American cyclist Henry Ar Foon (1874-1955), reportedly the first Chinese child born in the Boston area and elected president of the Winnisimmet Cycle Club of Chelsea in 1897. We visited scenic Wompatuck State Park, lovely Jerusalem Road in Cohasset, and ride to Scituate to his later-in-life home site and grave site.

The event was organized by CAAL, New England Chinese American Alliance (NECAA) and New England Cycling Coalition for Diversity.
