CCC President Word
今年是华社成立三十周年,首先感谢历届华社义工的贡献和会员及很多本地组织对华社的支持。
回顾过去大半年,华社亦像以往一样,仍是不懈地对社区作出了贡献,我仅在此感谢本届华社同工所作出的努力,其中当然包括康华中文学校委员及老师们的无私付出,校长于云红会在本刊另一编副向大家介绍康华中文学校的近况及展望。
就让我借这一次发放会员通讯的机会和各位分享一下我对华社整体的体验和愿望;华社的主要任务是利用有限的资源来发挥前人定下来的七大宗旨:依次是(请见华社章程及历史)
1. 宣扬中华文化 2. 推广中文教育3. 增强康乐活动 4. 交换知识技能
5. 研商事业问题 6. 增强华人权益 7. 协助新来同胞
华社是非谋利机构,理事会现有十七个理事,全都是义务工作者,每人都有他(她)的专长和特定工作,例如:主席、校长、校务、行政、秘书、财政、通讯、信息科技、会员资料、组织、文化康乐、社交及外展活动等领袖(未能一一尽录及排名不分先后),理事会的首要任务是应付原先定下来的基本活动,例如康华中文学校、成人中文班、青少年夏令营、野餐郊游、龙舟节、卡拉OK晚会、青少年才艺表演、圣诞舞会及华社极负盛名的农历新年大型综艺晚会,我们平均每个月都有活动,有时候真令本身已是大忙人的理事们喘不过气来;可是单靠基本活动又怎能完全有效地发挥华社的宗旨呢?所以借助外援或合作的形式来满足社员和社区的需要将会是一般趋势,快将会在本月举行的‘秋之韵演唱会’和‘华社乒乓球大赛’就是其中很好的例子,总括来说,你的参与及意见至为重要,如果你对华社的宗旨和任务有所共鸣而又有想搞一些有意义的活动来和大家分享的话,请与我们联络,我们定当尽力成事。
说完一些你们看得到的东西,现在又说一些你们一般看不到的;随着华社的日渐壮大,华社的行政亦日趋繁复,加上每一个理事都是义工,所能花在华社的时间不多,再加上理事的轮替,所以有一套精简而又妥善的行政指引最为重要,特别是在财政方面,感谢我们的一些理事正继续在这方面努力,希望能减少下任理事们花在行政方面的时间,转而能把时间放在发展华社的活动上面。
又随着科技的发达及要与时并进,你现在已能在华社的网上注册成为会员和为子女注册成为康华中文学校学生,这些数据也和簿记方面配合,大大减少了以往的紊乱,同时又节省了不少会计时间,我在此感谢有关工作人员的贡献。
秋意渐浓,不知不觉地又过了中秋节,华社首次在佳节的正日以卡拉OK晚会形式来庆祝这个极富中华传统文化的节日,会员反应相热烈,谢谢大家支持。

This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Culture Center. First of all I would like to thank all the previous volunteers for their contribution and all the members and local community organizations for their support over the years.
Looking back in 2009, the CCC Board of Directors and the CCLA school board, volunteers and teachers have been continuously working very hard serving the community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all. Principal Nancy Yu is going to talk about the prospects and new developments of the Connecticut Chinese Language Academy in another article of this Newsletter.
Let me make use of this Newsletter opportunity to share with you my thoughts and aspirations on CCC; The goal of CCC is to make use of the limited resources to fulfill the 7 Goals set by the founders of the organization 30 years ago. They are
I have talked about the obvious. Let’s talk something about CCC’s administration that you normally don’t see. As CCC is growing bigger in size, the administration has increasing become more and more complex, especially the financial side. Now a few Directors are working on a set of streamlined but effective policies for the Board to follow in their normal operation. This will reduce the time spent by the volunteers tremendously and improve the transparency of the process. This will also help to train future Directors to get to speed quickly. I would like to thank the policy-makers for their excellent work.
Along the same line, now the members can register on-line together with their children’s school registration on our CCC website. The electronic database generated would be used directly for bookkeeping/accounting purpose. That would reduce a lot of confusion which we previously had and thus the time spent. Thanks to all the contributors for such a wonderful system.
Hopefully you were at our Karaoke Party, Saturday, 10/3 to celebrate the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. This was the first time CCC had a Karaoke Party right-on the festival day. Whether you are at the party or not, I am sure you had great fun on that day.
Once again, thanks for supporting CCC!
Respectfully,

- To promote better understanding of the Chinese culture
- To establish and maintain a Chinese Language School
- To provide opportunities for recreational activities for members.
- To enhance social exchange and the sharing of general knowledge
- To provide consultation for business opportunities
- To foster our rights as a minority in the academic, business and social community
- To provide orientation for Chinese-origin new comers to the greater Hartford area
