A Huge THANK YOU for making Fun Day a massive success! 🎈

Thank you, parent helpers! You showed up right on time to help set up, worked tirelessly at the stations, and stayed until the very end to help us clean&pack up. Your dedication from start to finish was amazing! Fun Day simply would not have been a success without your incredible support.

A special, heartfelt thank you to the parents who cooked the delicious Taiwanese food. It was absolutely so yummy and a massive hit with everyone!

Onward to the next Fun Day!

Bridging Generations 世代對話

Ever felt a little different, worked twice as hard, or quietly balanced the heavy demands of family and career? Have you wondered why different generations of Taiwanese Americans view identity, success, and culture so differently—and how we can bridge that gap?

You are not alone.

This year, we are launching “Bridging Generations”—a four-part series designed to bring Taiwanese Americans of all ages together through conversation, storytelling, food, and music. Our goal is to deepen mutual understanding, learn from one another, and build a stronger, more connected community for the future.

您是否曾覺得自己與眾不同?總是默默扛起家庭與事業的重擔、加倍努力?您是否也很好奇,為什麼不同世代的台裔美國人對身分認同、成功與文化的看法如此不同?我們又該如何打破隔閡?

您並不孤單。

今年,我們正式推出 「世代對話」(Bridging Generations) 計畫。這是一個共四個梯次的系列活動,旨在透過對話、故事分享、美食與音樂,將所有年齡層的台裔美國人凝聚在一起。我們的目標是加深彼此的理解、促進跨世代的互相學習,並為未來打造一個更緊密、更具凝聚力的台裔社區。

The first workshop is on June 20, as we celebrate Father’s Day together with food and intergenerational conversation. 這一系列四場活動的首場聚會將於六月登場。我們將在慶祝父親節的同時,以美食與輕鬆交流,串起不同世代之間的連結。

等不及了嗎? 想搶先體驗「世代對話」(Bridging Generations)系列活動嗎?
