2021 Westchester Lantern Festival - Riddle Guessing Game (2/27/2021 @2pm-3pm )


The Lantern Festival is the first full moon night of the Lunar New Year. It is a festival with great significance - people happily eating dumplings, going out at night (most kids carrying a lantern),  watching thousands of lanterns in various shapes and colors, and guessing lantern riddles. Guessing riddles is a Chinese tradition and one of the most interesting fun activities during the Lantern Festival. People write or hang “word”, “idiom”, “animal” riddles on lanterns for others to guess.


In celebrating the 2021 Lantern Festival and promoting traditional culture, the Westchester Association of Chinese Americans (WACA) will launch the 2021 online "Happy Night-Lantern Riddle Game" .  We aim at bringing the Lantern Festival to you via zoom, for you to feel the festive atmosphere, win the lantern riddle game prizes, and enjoy wonderful shows at home or from anywhere.

5000 USD donation for personal protective equipment to organizations in urgent needs

As COVID-19 affects our community, there is a substantial increase in demand for the personal protective equipment (PPE). In addition to the volunteer works in the past few months, the Westchester Association of Chinese Americans (WACA) also contributed $5,000 to purchase 7,000 masks , and donated these masks to  9 organizations that are in urgent needs. 

WACA really appreciates Dr. Jun Xu and the Association of Chinese American Physicians (ACAP) for their great efforts to make it happen. 

During the Coronavirus Pandemic, the procurement and delivery of PPE become extremely challenging .   Despite a variety of difficulties, Ms. Brenda Sun from WACA, working closely with Dr. Jun Xu from ACAP, made timely delivery of these masks to the organizations of Another Step, Cabrini-Eldercare, Cedar Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Lifting up Westchester, Neighbors link, Sutton Park Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, Tarrytown Hall Care Center, Theodore Young Community Center, and Trinity United Methodist Church.

 As a non-profit Organization in our community, we are wholeheartedly thankful to everyone who supports WACA. We are very proud of our Board members, their family and our friends. We are from community, and for community.  Together, we can do better and more to serve our community.

The Census 2020 Awareness:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------The 2020 Census is a constitutionally mandated once-a-decade count of our nation. It is critical that we achieve a complete and accurate count of everyone living in the United States because the results determine how many representatives in Congress each state has — and how more than $675 billion federal dollars are distributed each year into communities for the next decade. The 2020 Census results inform spending for critical services like schools, hospitals, roads, senior centers, and much more. Shape your future. START HERE > 2020census.gov联邦政府每十年开展一次人口普查。联邦政府依据宪法的规定收集信息。人口普查收集的信息会影响每年约6750亿美元的联邦资金的分配。这些资金将影响许多重要的社区服务，比如教育、医保、老年中心以及公共交通等等。塑造您的未来。 请从这里开始 > 2020census.gov

February 4th, 2020


Dear friends, colleagues and community leaders: 


Greetings!


After much deliberation, the Board of Westchester Association of Chinese Americans decides to reschedule its annual New Year Celebrations from February 8, 2020 to May 17, 2020. The rescheduled event will take place at the same venue: the Performing Arts Center at SUNY Purchase College. All sold tickets, sponsors and supporters will be valid and accepted for the event at the new date. 


We regret to have to reschedule due to the outbreak caused by a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The public health of our children and our community at large should always come first. 


Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming you to our event in May. Please be safe and healthy.

 

Sincerely, 

Westchester Association of Chinese Americans (WACA)
