三月二十二日，麻省文化委员会第一百五十八次商务会议上，批准了两个新的州指定文化区，其中一个是以乡村风景见长的卡明顿社区(Cummington)，另一个就是以人文景观闻名全美国的莱镇社区(Lexington)。
值得骄傲的是莱镇华协旗下的春晚演出（CAAL Chinese New Year Festival)以及《莱镇人文人物专访系列》(Discover Lexington) 也成功入选莱镇文化区，与美国革命时期的历史一起成为莱镇人文资源的一部分。一年一度的春晚是莱镇最盛大的活动之一，也是莱镇以及临近城镇了解中国文化的重要方式。《莱镇人文》则是华裔移民了解当地文化的一个窗口，通过对莱镇各行各业领军人物以及普通镇民的采访，让移民以及二代得以贴近微观层面的美国，了解普通美国人的生活以及价值观，以更快更顺利地适应和融入社区。

Dancing in the rain! A super fun way to celebrate CAAL’s 40 & Fabulous years of service to Lexington at the Patriots’ Day Parade.
Audiences came to Cary Hall with a full house on Saturday April 8 and watched the play “Interconnect” with great interest and enthusiasm. The 6-act play with 200 performers told the stories of the Chinese American community in Lexington and the Greater Boston area. Their trailblazer initiatives and spirit of love have built connections and communities in times of crisis. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Chinese American Association of Lexington. This is the first event that kicks off the celebration of Patriot’s Day, and the May AAPI Heritage Month.
Here are some audience comments after the show:
“Thank you so much! I will read the script with great interest and for a fuller understanding of what was happening. It was wonderful to sit among so many people understanding Chinese so fluently, and to hear it spoken in so many contexts. (My husband and I have a daughter adopted from China at the age of 1, who is now 29, and grew up in Lexington).” – Pat Moyer
“Thank you for inviting us to last night’s performance. It was a great historical exhibition of how CAAL evolved from a minor volunteering group of Chinese Americans to present day a very heavy weight organization in the Lexington community Thanks to you all for putting so much time and energy into an important show. I invited a neighbor from Brookhaven to go with us, she was very impressed with the performance. CAAL, you have come a long way!!! Thanks to people like you.” – Sophia Ho
“I thoroughly enjoyed the show–I didn’t realize, Nick, that you not only wrote and directed, but also starred in it. I’m glad it was such a success.” – Suzanne Adams
