Dear CAPASUS members and families,

Happy Thanksgiving! It is hard to believe that it has been over 3 months since the end of the successful 2019 CAPASUS annual conference.  We had organized the first staff meeting at Alice Stanley’s house on October 6 where we discussed the topic of the annual meeting next year — A Connected World : 5G, WiFi 6, Space based communication and Cybersecurity.  We also published and printed of the beautiful CAPASUS Journal 2019 for all of the members and the authors. Since then there were several events co-sponsored by CAPASUS such as 1) MJSE Annual Conference on Nov 2, 2) Fall Hiking at Gibbs Garden with TaiDa Alumi on Nov 10, 3) TSA Olympic at GSU on Nov 16 and finally 4) Taipei Symphony Orchestra performance on Nov 17.   We also have a wonderful news to announce: our chairwoman of VP nomination committee Dr. Chuchu Wu is expecting a baby girl in March 2020. Let’s give her our congratulations for the new addition to the Wu family. It takes a huge courage and a village to raise a child as most of our members have experienced. Let us take it as our calling and redouble our efforts to build a new CAPASUS that will continue strong even after this baby enters college.

 We are still looking for a head of Secretary and a VP Candidate at this time.  Please keep these two key positions on your mind if you would volunteer or would recommend potential candidates to me and Catherine.  On the eve of the Thanksgiving day 2019, I would like to express my deep appreciation to all of the current staff members for your altruistic contributions to CAPASUS and calling for all of our valuable members to continue to support these volunteers to fulfill their mission.   I am sure the future of the CAPASUS family will be bright and sustainable.

美東南區中華學人協會大家庭,

感恩節快樂!自從2019 CAPASUS年會成功的結束以來已經過了 3個多月。我們於10月6日在魏鳳珠(Alice Stanley)的家中舉行了第一次幹部工作會議,討論了明年的年度會議的主題—互聯的網路世界:5G行動網路,第六代 WiFi , 太空通信和網絡安全。我們還為所有成員和作者出版並印刷了精美的《 CAPASUS Journal 思源雜誌 2019》。此後,由CAPASUS共同贊助了幾項活動,例如: 1)11月2日舉行的MJSE玉山科技年度會議,2)11月10日與台灣大學校友會在吉布斯 (Gibbs)花園舉行的秋季徒步旅行,3)11月16日在GSU舉行的TSA奧林匹克運動會和 4)11月17日 台北交響樂團在Rialto Center 的演出。我們還有一個好消息要宣布:我們的副會長提名委員會主席吳珠菊博士期待將在2020年3月誕生一個女兒。讓我們祝賀吳家的新成員。正如我們大多數成員所經歷的那樣,撫養孩子需要很大的勇氣和社區力量的支持。讓我們以此為我們的號召,並加倍努力來構建新的CAPASUS,繼續保持強大的實力來維持這個社區組織直到她進入大學。

我們目前仍在尋找秘書長和副會長候選人。如果您願意或願意向我和嘉蘭推薦潛在的候選人,請記得這兩個關鍵職位的空缺。在2019年感恩節的前夕,我要對所有現任工作幹部對CAPASUS的無私奉獻表示深切感謝,並呼籲我們所有寶貴的成員繼續支持這些志願者完成任務。我相信CAPASUS的未來將是光明和可永續經營的。
