各位同鄉,您好!
台灣人傳統基金會邀請您參加我們一年一度的募款餐會, 餐會將於11月9日下午3:30到8:00在台灣人活動中心舉行。會中將備精緻餐點包括現做雞蛋糕和蛋捲、精彩節目、獎品摸彩及台美第二代多才多藝王沛智導演的主題演講,歡迎您闔家一起參加支持我們的募款餐會。
基金會是非營利組織,感謝大家過去三十年來的合力打拼及贊助捐款,才能繼續成長茁壯。目前,我們的募款所得金額約$40,000,離我們的募款目標$100,000尙有一段距離,希望您能再大力支持此次募款活動。基金會每年的年度開銷約 $100,000,主要的任務之一是管理及維護台灣人活動中心。近幾年因屋頂老舊,每逢下雨就四處漏雨,之前還能靠同鄉義工東修西補,勉強撐著。今年年初,漏雨越發嚴重,已到無法修繕的地步,才由理事會決定將屋頂翻新。 屋頂汰換工程在今年五月完成,汰換面積 13,512 平方英呎,總花費約$67,000。 現在大家可以安心的在活動中心大廳集會、運動、休閒、學習,不用再擔心天花板會因漏雨而忽然掉下來。
另外,活動中心外牆的互動式公共藝術計劃,也在構思三、四年後,今年得到休士頓市政府的補助,正式開始工程,讓中心增添更多藝術元素,也提供台美人藝術創作平台。基金會這一年來舉辦了許多大家喜愛的活動,例如最近的野生動物展,宛如把一個小型的野生動物園帶入中心,小朋友和大人都開心不已。還有廣受歡迎的五月節粽子 DIY 活動,年輕活力四射的桌遊及 Facebook 版聚活動,讓大家有好氣色的化妝講座, 時尙饗宴的品酒活動,以及兼俱知性與感性的一日遊。除此之外,基金會還和其他社團合作辦活動,如與同鄉會合辦台語文及長照講座等。在推展台灣文化及藝術方面,在活動中心舉辦的Art & Culture Fair,及在亞洲協會舉辦的 AsiaFest 中介紹台灣傳統童玩及原住民舞蹈表演,都驚艷會場。今年初和休士頓自然科學博物館一起舉辦「台灣主題」活動,更成功的把台灣文化藝術推向主流社會。
基金會團隊秉持其宗旨,與其他社團互動合作,持續推廣台灣文化藝術及積極參與社區服務,以永續經營為方向,不斷注入新活力,讓台灣人活動中心持續做為大家快樂相聚的場所,並將台美人服務社區的精神推展至各個角落。希望您能加入這共同使命與驕傲,持續地支持贊助我們。

台灣人傳統基金會理事長 徐秋蓉敬上

2019 THSH Fundraising Dinner – Heritage, Innovation, and the Future
Date: 9rd of November, 2019
Time: 3:30 – 8:00 pm
Location: Taiwanese Community Center, 5885 Point West Dr, Houston TX 77036
The Taiwanese Heritage Society of Houston is embracing the support and sponsors from the whole community over the 30 years, and we strive to grow and achieve higher goals every single day.
The building is almost as old as the foundation, and cost of management & maintenance is about $100,000 annually. When the leaking became so severe in several areas and repair was no longer an option, the board decided to approve a special funds of $67,000 in May for the replacement of the entire roof, covering more than 13,000 square feet.  We are thrilled to announce that the new roof has not only released more space for the members’ activities and exercise, but also provides a safer environment for everyone who comes to the community center.
The year started out well, we were honored to present Taiwan in the Houston Museum of Nature Science event series World Trekker on February 1st. It was exciting to communicate about Taiwan to the general public. The event was so successful we were invited by Asia Society Center of Houston for their “Asia Fest” in June, where we demonstrated a few traditional children’s games & toys for more than 4,000 attendees in one day.
The inhouse activities within the community center are not less exciting. Some of the most popular family events are “Texas’s Rare Wildlife Species”, “Zoofari “, “Art and Culture Fair”, and the Zongzi DIY & purchase on Dragonboat Festival. On to the young professionals’ side, we initiated the very first “meeting your Facebook friends” in the center, and continue board games evenings monthly. In addition, we hosted varieties of events such as makeup class, wine tasting, day trips, and Taiwanese language learning classes.,
Another major achievement of 2019 was the mural project funded in part by the City of Houston is nearing completion, depicting a 3D object surrounded by flow and waves. The theme “Time in a Tide Pool” evokes the way of life of an immigrant.
The primary mission of the Foundation is to maintain and manage the Taiwanese Community Center and to support the activities of various associations by providing venues and facilities. We are aiming to make the "Taiwanese Community Center" a great place for all Taiwanese-Americans where they can stay connected, active, and continue their lifelong learning experience in the Greater Houston area.
The spirit of the Taiwanese Heritage Society of Houston is passing experience down through the generations. We’d like to invite you to work with us and support this Taiwanese-American legend continuing in this country.
This year, we’re delighted to have Taiwanese-American Patrick Wang, a nominated independent movie director, who will join us and share some wonderful stories from his multicultural film-making experience.
All donations are welcome, as well as your feedback.

活動花絮

【十月份一日遊】Bluebell ice cream & San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site



十月份的一日遊地點是在 Brenham 的Bluebell ice cream factory 及 San Felipe de Austin的新建的歷史博物館。
1907年在德州建廠製造的 Bluebell ice cream,如今超過百年暢銷美國23州, 是德州家戶喻曉的旅遊景點。位於休城西北方的 Brenham 車程一個半小時,一般都是走八號公路接290,此次的司機 Mr. Lam 帶我們走99號新建的 Mayor Bob Lanier memorial high way,天氣雖然陰雨卻格外清新。進入 Bluebell Ice Cream Factory, 迎接我們的是堆高堆滿的半加侖ice cream 桶子,金色的圓蓋耀眼奪目,是團體照的好景。隨之走進觀察台參觀加味及成裝的過程。然後享受$1一勺的ice cream,口味很多,最受歡迎的是 home made vanilla. 同時來了一群高中生,頭上都帶者小船帽,喔!原來在樓下的入口處可隨意取帶,我們一下車就衝上樓,沒注意到可愛的小船帽,於是大伙兒帶起船帽照像,一群可愛的老玩童。
下午的行程是在偏僻的San Felipe de Austin, museum 提供我們 package 包括午餐。這個才建好一年半的歷史博物館,針對 Stephen Austin帶領300戶移民來德州開創新世界的故事及獨立戰爭的因果過程,篩選歷史文物做特別展示。館長親切詳細的介紹德州獨立戰爭的歷史,重點連結Alamo,San Jacinto 兩重要戰役,讓我們對德州獨立戰爭及這個曾經是殖民時代的都府為何一夕之間燒毀,人民潰逃的歷史實事有更多的瞭解。
新設計的博物館用新科技展現歷史原貌,除了牆上有觸摸視頻影像解說,地上設計有當時的地圖,許多1830年代的文物展示,充分的帶著每位參觀者認識當年的德州歷史。(顏琇莉撰文)


【舊衣及罐頭捐贈】

        

10 月份會員捐贈的衣服食品我們都送給Turning Point Center,基金會亦樂捐$500給他們。Turning Point Center的創辦人Ms. Isha在1988年把她的房子賣了,用她所有的積蓄買了一個34個單位的公寓社區作為老年遊民居住所。Turning Point Center顧名思義就是這些老年人的轉捩點,提供他們住所、食物、衣服、心理諮商及就業輔導,讓他們可以再度回歸貢獻社會。和Ms. Isha 聊及我們還可以幫忙些什麼,她帶我們到他們的蔬果園及廚房參觀,不知不覺我就帶回一些可幫忙他們的想法,如為那裡的老人家準備台式菜餚餐點,協助幫忙整理他們那¾英畝的蔬果園等,如果可以,屆時和大家一起走出基金會,到Turning Point幫忙。(徐秋蓉撰文)

【Young Professional Workout Club】

Today we’d like to introduce you to Chih-Chien Chou (周志謙) - THSH Fitness Club Coach (VoyageHouston 專訪周志謙教練)

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
In 2009, I moved to the United States from Taiwan to pursue my Ph.D. at Ohio State University. During my time as a doctoral student, I went to the gym at least three times a week so I can deal with the stress of daily life. Shortly after finishing my doctoral degree, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University in California. Two years later, I would come to MD Anderson here in Texas as a Postdoctoral fellow in the Immunology department. At the same time, I was still hitting the gym hard to better myself. One thing I realized as a Cancer Researcher, is how devastating and crippling this disease is. Not only does it drag you down physically, but mentally as well. Since studying Immunology in cancer, I realized that everyone should develop and train their Immune System. In my mind, that correlates to healthier eating and physical training. Doing both has a unique way of bolstering the body defenses against bacteria, viruses and even cancer. I believe that “Exercise is cheaper than therapy and food is the best medicine in the world.” These are two things that everyone should invest time and effort in.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Life’s road is never really smooth. When you get to those bumps, I view that as a chance to grow and conquer the obstacle and become a better person because of it. My personal fitness journey has had its share of those bumps. In the past, I had no know knowledge of working and dieting. I just simply did whatever I felt to get rid of body fat and gain muscle. If two years of not seeing the results I desired, I realized how much time, money, and effort I wasted without doing the proper research. Finally doing the proper research and also talking to various experts, I reworked my diet and workout regimen. Being consistent with a well-planned physical workout and diet program, did I begin to see the results that I desire. I also believed that it helped with something else, aging gracefully. Would you believe that I am actually 38 going on 39? I know genetics play a role, but I believe diet and exercise help our genetics express anti-aging effect of a greater scale.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Majestic Natural Fitness – what should we know?
I currently hold a young professional workout club at the Taiwanese Heritage Society of Houston near China Town. The main purpose of this club is to help people develop their workout habits and also share the knowledge of a healthy diet. During class, I coach our members on how you to use various types of fitness equipment to train the various muscles within the body. We use dumbbells, resistance bands, and also battle ropes. We also perform various High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) routines. HIIT routines are a very efficient in fat burning and also muscle endurance. In conjunction with this class, I have also created a Facebook fan page (Possible Website in the Future) where I offer workout tips, fitness knowledge and also scientific studies to the members of the group. One thing that I am proud of as an amateur fitness coach is how motivated and dedicated my members are. They have a strong desire to be fit and that really helps me to push them to not only be fit but also gain more confidence within themselves. All I want is to create to friendly, positive, and motivated fitness community for my club members. I believe this sets me apart differently from others.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Passion and connection to others are the two most important things that I believe have brought me to my success. Passion is my driving force that motivates me with my fitness to never get tired of it. I tend to focus on what I am passionate about, this pushes me to be the best I can be at it. This is why I continue to post motivating pictures of myself and of my club members on social media. This is also how I created my fitness club at the Taiwanese Heritage Society of Houston. One of my friends as me to start my fitness club and here we are today. I viewed this as the way to connect with others. I seized my opportunity to be a fitness coach to connect with others by helping them develop workout habits and also a healthier lifestyle. I am looking forward to seeing how great of a success I can be along with the others that I coach.

台灣人活動中心現在廣開大門。將持續舉辦活動,開闢新課程。非常歡迎你們的意見及建議。更希望大家來參加。這是我們台美人共同的家。我們應該好好利用它。謝謝!
