Happy Lunar New Year to our ALMA community, we wish you and your families a wonderful and prosperous year of the fire horse. I’d like to take this chance to welcome our new members including families of children starting at CAECC this year. It is wonderful to have you as part of our community.

We hope you have been enjoying some of the events cultural events Canberra hosts, including the Lunar New Year festivities in Dickson as well as the Chinese Lantern Festival at the Canberra Beijing Garden last month. CAECC had a wonderful lion dance as well to mark the occasion, I hope those who were able to attend enjoyed it.

I also want to acknowledge the great work the CAECC is doing in keeping up to date with and being proactive about child safety, including hosting a professional development day for all the CAECC staff on March 27th.

Some of our wonderful ALMA volunteers have organised a book donation. We have a number of Mandarin picture books that will be donated to the Mawson primary school, CAECC and public libraries which will include our ALMA sticker. This is just one example of the great work done by our ALMA members. We are also looking to increase ALMAs presence at the previously mentioned community cultural events, if you are interested in this or getting involved with any other ALMA activities, please get in touch with me at president.ALMA@proton.me.
Thank you,
Melyn
 
ALMA主席的最新进展
祝我们的ALMA社区农历新年快乐，祝你和你的家人火马度过一个美好而繁荣的一年。我想借此机会欢迎我们的新成员，包括今年开始在CAECC工作的儿童家庭。很高兴你成为我们社区的一员。

希望您已经享受堪培拉举办的一些文化活动，包括迪克森的农历新年庆典以及上个月在堪培拉北京花园举办的中国元宵节。CAECC还举办了一场精彩的舞狮活动以纪念这一时刻，希望能参加的朋友们会喜欢。

我还要肯定CAECC在保持儿童安全动态和积极主动方面所做的出色工作，包括于3月27日为全体CAECC员工举办专业发展日。

我们一些出色的ALMA志愿者组织了图书捐赠活动。我们有多本普通话图画书将捐赠给莫森小学、CAECC（中华教育中心）和公共图书馆，其中包括我们的ALMA贴纸。这只是我们ALMA会员卓越工作的一个例子。我们也希望增加ALMA在上述社区文化活动中的参与度，如果您对此感兴趣或参与其他ALMA活动，请通过 president.ALMA@proton.me 与我联系。
谢谢你，
Melyn
