HAPA-NA Hawaii Cruise Hakka Forum

Dear Members and Hakka friends,

HAPA-NA is honor to sponsor the Hawaii Cruise Hakka Forum. Many thanks to David Lai's effort to organize this event. I think it will be a great addition to the happy Hawaii cruising, I would like to encourage both the HAPA-NA members and Hakka friends, as well as some Taiwanese American from Northern California to participate the meeting and discussion.

The topics are attractive, and the #4. question of how Taiwanese American can contribute to Taiwan is particular brain storming, I think David can lead to discuss this issue well.

Besides, we were also able to have Hakka friends from Taiwan, Mr. Lo and Prof. Vang
to give their speeches, to bring us the first hand political information in Taiwan. Enjoy the conference.

In the past, HAPA-NA also held a general meeting in this kind of summer gathering if we had enough members participated. I had asked David Lai and Ed Lin to help me to hold the meeting in my absence.

I hope every one will have a good time. Under link please see the topics outlined by David to be discussed in forum.

Thank you all.

1014 Hakka Gathering

Dear All,

One of the Hapa-na's mission according to by-law is to care about Taiwan's future and help out. So, in Toronto's meeting, summer Last year, we did discuss about how to reach out to our Hakka brethren in Taiwan to communicate and exchange the thought of current situation in Taiwan, and better yet, to arouse their sense and consciousness of democracy, freedom of speech, human right and Taiwan identity.

So, we did it once, 323 Hakka Gathering, 6 months ago with great success and good response.

Now we can do it again on this 10/14, taking the advantage of having 3 Hapa-Na officials in Taiwan at the same time to hold a Hapa-na sponsoring HAKKA gathering/ meeting at Gwansi Hsinchu. We were very happy to invite Prof. Aquia Tsay to be the keynote speaker to talk about Self Liberation, this will be a good subject for Hakka to think about, because our long struggle history. The meeting will be in Hakka Toastmasters format and all attendees will be involved and get chance to speak up. Please check the Agenda of 1014 Hakka Gathering.

If you happen in Taiwan at that time, you are welcome to join the meeting. And please
also encourage your friend or relatives in Taiwan to join. ( Need RSVP to abctea@gmail.com or 626.926-0258 for lunch count ).

Thank you,

Chanchi Lee, Presient 9/19/2010
