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。

 【莱镇人文第十三期：Sophia Ho & Larry Ho】她是莱镇华协CAAL的奠基者之一和社区旗帜上唯一的华裔女性；他是哈佛大学的著名华裔教授；这一对在莱镇居住了半个多世纪的华裔夫妇，用他们已经走过的七十多年的移民生涯告诉我们，其实他们所恪守的，恰恰是这个国家最最基础的价值观：自由、平等和爱。

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. More information on Henry Ar Foon at https://neccd.bike/henryarfoon-en/ 

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

金秋时节，正是新英格兰地区享有盛誉的Autumn Foliage（秋叶）最美的时候，迎来了疫情开放后人们期待已久的莱镇传统探索日（Discover Day)。因为去年没有举办活动，今年故称之为Re-Discovery Day。10月9日，在镇中心麻州大道，展位林立，游人如织，歌舞齐飞，一幅欢乐、流动的节日画卷徐徐展开，与蓝天白云、缤纷秋叶相媲美。
