Chairman's Special Msg for the Moon Festival Event -
Dear Friends,
I am proud and honored to share the wonderful talents and diversity of Asian cultures via this Mid-Autumn Moon Festival hosted by the Fort Lee Community Center. This event is the first of its kind in size, scope, and energy to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival in Northern New Jersey.
On behalf of the Chinese Service Center, I would like to thank the members of the organizing committee, the CSC-USA board trustees, and all the participants for making this inaugural North Jersey Mid-Autumn Moon Festival a wonderful success.
CSC-USA has been serving Bergen County for over 35 years. In addition to event such as the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, we sponsor three schools: Bergen Chinese School in Hackensack, Bohua Chinese School in Hackensack and the Columbia Chinese School in the upper west-side of New York. For over two decades, Chinese Service Center also cosponsored Chinese Summer Camp in upstate New York. Our students and volunteers have participated in numerous cultural exchanges in various schools, libraries and community events across towns in Bergen County, New Jersey and New York. CSC-USA is proud to sponsor wonderful events such as the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival and you can expect many more to come.
I would like to extend special thanks to Fort Lee’s Acting Mayor, the honorable Ila Kasofsky, and the Fort Lee Community Center’s director Ellie Sturrock for their generous supports.
An event of this magnitude could not take place without the dedication, passion, and commitment of numerous volunteers working tirelessly days, nights, and weekends. A personal thanks to CSC-USA Vice Chairman Suzan Cho, Secretary Kevin Loo, Program Director Sharon Ma and event consultant Kirby Tan, the four Musketeers leading the charge. I also want to thank the over 100 performers, some traveling from out of state to share their passion and talents.
Last but not least, a big thank you goes to all the sponsors in making this event possible.
Hope you all enjoy the Festival,
Sincerely,
Bao-Wen Yang
Chairman, Chinese Service Center USA |
