親愛的會員們：大家平安！
新的一年即將來到，感謝今年風平浪靜沒有颶風的威脅，希望來年年年平順，感謝會員們對文協的支持與愛護，經多次董事會檢討歷年來舉辦春節聯歡晚會，進餐時的種種缺失，所以針對這些缺失，今年將會有一點改變，預先將桌次印在門票上，雖增加售票時的作業，但卻便於會場的管理，希望會員們能先邀好友們一起購票，小小的改變與不便是為了將聯歡會舉辦的更令所有的會員滿意，預祝所有會員新的一年身體健康萬事如意。
最後 會長吳達仁 率全體董事
闔府健康！快樂！
敬祝各位會員

Dear Members: Hope all is well!
The new year of 2007 is coming soon. Fortunately, we didn’t have any hurricanes this year. Hopefully, the coming years will be calm and peaceful as well. All the CCASF board members appreciate and thank you all for your support. After several meetings and discussions with regards to the Annual Chinese New Year Festival, we have made some changes to insure the event runs smoothly this year. The tickets will be printed with table numbers so everyone will be guaranteed a seat this year. We invite all our members and your friends to attend the annual Chinese New Year Festival and to welcome the Year of the Boar!
We wish you and your family prosperity in the New Year!!
