Japhet Creek Natural Conservancy Cleanup

二月十一日，星期六上午九點至十二點，台灣人傳統基金會將與本地其他社團一起清理公園。融入在地社區並且參與社區服務，一直是基金會的宗旨。過去同鄉們捐贈衣物或救災，及參加慈善健走活動，都是本著人溺己溺的愛心。這次我們更擴大參與美化環境工作。與其他社團共同美化東區的公園:Japhet Creek Natural Conservancy, 4600 Clinton@ Emile St,, Houston, TX 77020。其負責人, Ms. Carol Taylor, 曾在台灣天母的美國學校唸書。對台灣的印象很好。希望我們這次的參與，為我們帶來結交更多的朋友，也讓更多的人知道「 台灣」二字。為了感謝您的參與，基金會將贈送參加者T恤一件。
