萊克星頓華人協會(CAAL)兩年一次的春節慶祝會10日晚上在該鎮Minuteman區域高中舉行。約500華洋居民在喜樂氣氛中歡慶中國新年。會中組織者邀該鎮官員高舉「一個村庄，一個夢想」的中英文字牌，表達心聲、呼籲團結。
華協會長王衛東表示，1980年代成立以來，CAAL 每兩年舉辦全鎮性中國新年慶祝活動。即使近來鎮上華人對「亞裔細分」有不同的聲音，這項傳統活動依舊繼續。
活動籌委主席王華說，今年活動主題「一個村庄，一個夢想」意在鼓勵求同存異，共同為參與鎮內公共事務，增強華人影響力和更好的明天努力。【阅读全文】

As some 400 people ate the last bits of fish with sour cabbage sauce, family-style tofu and other Chinese dishes on their plates, a drumbeat filled the air at the Minuteman High School cafeteria Saturday, Feb. 10.
Accompanied by clashing cymbals, the drumbeats–heavy enough to resonate in one’s chest–continued as several people held aloft a red Chinese dragon and snaked through the room. In the back of the cafeteria, a cluster of girls in pink tutus stood on a staircase, while martial artists in black satin pants and black t-shirts stood just to the side of the performance area—all waiting for their turn to perform. The Chinese American Association of Lexington (CAAL)’s bi-annual Chinese New Year Celebration was in full swing, ringing in the year of the dog and kicking off CAAL’s 35th anniversary.

Despite the freezing cold outside, it’s warm as spring and full of festival atmosphere inside. During the last weekend of 2017, CAAL Youth Instrumental Ensemble (“YIE”) had brought a variety of holiday classics from both Eastern and Western cultures to the local communities such as the elderly housing campus and nursing home in Lexington. Since its inception in December, 2016, CAAL YIE has reached out to the local communities such as the nursing homes eight times to share the holiday spirit and warmth with the elderly residents in Lexington. The ensemble’s wonderful performances have been warmly welcomed by the audience.
Chinese Americans actively participated annual fundraising events organized by Lexington Education Foundation (LEF). This year, more Chinese American residents volunteered and attended the LEF Free Global Party and Annual Gala. CAAL also sent “CAALphabet” team to the Annual LEF Trivia Bee. The younger generation raised $740 for LEF by participating Annual Kids Triathlon.
The Lexington Education Foundation brings the community together to build and sustain the excellence of the Lexington Public Schools through funding innovations in teaching and learning in all nine schools.
Event Date: Sunday, Dec 3, 2017, 2pm – 4pm
