江苏同乡 July 9 cookout - Thank you, Doris!

[Bingqing Wang]

Dear Doris,

 

Thank you so much for your hospitality to open your home for us!! We had another joyous, wonderful reunion and delicious food with all buddies! And with your happy family too! It's beyond words how I admire your parents' works and their happy lifestyles.

 

Attached are two pictures from my camera. The葱was taken for you to give it to Kevin Hu, who missed the formal ceremony of 你送葱给他。Hope he'll start to like the bunch of 葱 because it represents us for how we missed him, his humor and his camera this year at your home.

 

Thanks a million again!

 

Rebecca

The concept is 'potluck' or 'pot lot' --  bring whatever (e.g. a hometown dish? fruits, salad? We are very casual, maybe I will have a jar for free-will money contribution for those who don't have time).  I will provide the meats, buns, vegatables for grilling, soda, water, ice, and paper goods, if you want beer, do bring your own.  See ya Saturday!

Hi, Doris:

 

Thanks for putting this together.  Do you know who will be bringing what dishes?  If no one else is doing it, we will be bringing a Pad Thai. 

 

Thanks.

I am not the most organized person, I can use all help, come when you can starting 3 PM. My parents expect to attend the Seniors Fellowship 松柏团契 at church from 2 PM tp 4 PM, then come home to meet the Jiangsu tong xiang.  
Again, our address is

谢谢这把葱。可惜，我吃姜不吃葱。

估计你不是missing 我，而是我照的相片。

这种带麻点的相片久违多年了。

等有机会，我请你吃鱼吧，无葱无蒜无油无异味，绝对鲜美！

Mike and All,

 

    It is great to have met you at the BBQ party.

 

    I have compiled the contact information. Please check to make sure the accuracy and let me know if there are errors. I have sent the invitation and please kindly reply to join the group if you are still not a member.

 

    By the way, I suggest that we voluntarily donate $20-50 to set up JSTXH as a nonprofit organization (All the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are exempted.) with help from Zhiyu. We may use jstxh.us as our web address (jstxh.org has been taken while jstxh.com is still available.). Please give your input.

 

    Regards,

 

    Shaoping

Hello all,

 

Hope everyone is well. One of my friends is interested in teaching Chinese in the school system here. Does anyone know and is willing to share your info and experience?

1) training / education requirements?

2) test / certification requirements?

3) where to apply the teaching positions?

4) ...

 

 

Thanks and cheers.

江苏同乡：你们好。

晚到的新年问候。新年好。

很久没有联系了。大家都很忙。你们好吗？ 想聚会一下吗？ 春节将到，我们可否一聚？15 日 还是 16日？建议在哪里？

如要聚，遗憾的是DORIS 和 她的父母不能来了。多谢他们两年夏天的辛苦奉献。先向朱教授，师母 拜龙年快乐，身体健康。

Hey Mike,

Thanks for initiating the gathering. I will be more than happy to attend. I would suggest Japanese Koki Buffet in Kennilworth, right next to Merck's big gate. It has a party room too that we can reserve. The price is $9.99 for lunch for Mon.-Thurs., but 16 is a holiday, it may be $14.99 something. I feel the food is very good to me with reasonable prices too, depending on lunch or dinner, weekdays or weekend. The highest is $17.99 as I remember.

Or you guys can choose another one. I have no problem to go whichever.

Thanks!

Rebecca (Bingqing)

Lora:

Thanks for your reply. I think it is too late for planning for this weekend (16th). May be there are people planned for enjoying the long weekend with their family on the ski slope. If we want to gather together, how about we pick another weekend to 庆祝春节和元宵？

Happy Chinese New Year to you and your families.

Happy New Year of the Dragon to all!  Yes, sorry we're not in NJ for Chinese New Year, but we're not sorry for the warmer FL weather.  Other than slowing down, and my Mom having a torn ligament in her right knee (she fell and is doing physical therapy) my parents are doing fine (considering that they turn 89 and 90 in 2012).
Perhaps we could pencil in Saturday July 7 for the third cookout, Lord willing, at our home again in Kingston?

[Rebecca Wong]

Dear Doris,

Happy New Year and Happy Chinese New Year to you too! It's so nice to hear from you!!! I will be more than happy to see you again this summer when you are back at your beautiful, lovely home!

Hope your parents are doing well and we will be sure to see them in the summer again!

For Chinese New Year, I definitely will be more than happy to attend the jstxh party if possible. However, many of us have family members and good friends too. So, it's hard to decide not to go to the one that is the most important and precious. My priorities in my plan is to:

1) spend time with my daughter, who works in NYC, if she comes back home for Chinese New Year. However, it's a "who knows" situation now since she is an assistant manager in a branch for an American company, so she may be required to work on weekend because she has been required to do so a lot. 

2) (if option 1 is not feasible,) go to Pennsylvania to meet my three best friends of my graduate school. More than 20 years ago we spent precious time together in the dorm of the college in Pennsylvania. One will fly to PA specially from Texas. I haven't met the best friend of the three for at least 7 or 8 years, the 2nd one at least 15 years, and the 3rd one from Texas, at least 18 years. So, it's a precious opportunity.

3) attend jstxh party if any.

Hope jstxh still host one, so people will have an opportunity to have fun.

Wishing all a happy Chinese New Year!

I am available this Sunday.  But I can imagine there may be a lot of activities this weekend so maybe we should do next weekend. 

Lora

[Shaoping Xie]

 

 

I think that we are the least active Tongxianghui. I really hope that every one is more active in the new year. If we put JSTXH at the bottom and only think about it only when nothing else in our mind, then it will have no chance.

 

While I am always open-minded, it is still too much to celebrate our Chinese New Year in some Japanese restaurant as JSTXH. Please find some buffet with Karaoke or other entertainments. Every adult attendee pays about 20-30 dollars so that we may have some prizes for kids.

 

Everyone is the master of JSTXH and never has the waiting attitude so that we can show JS ren can also build up our TX community.

 

Wish you and your families the best!

We can also promote the event on New Jersey local newspaper.

Please let me any suggestions.

Hi, Mike:

 

That’s a good idea to have the event at night because we all have to eat dinner anyway.  I suggest we use the time to take care of some business like:

- Purpose of the organization

- Proposed event topics and times

- Organizing committee

- Membership fees

Etc.

 

I can’t think of any other places with Karaoke facility without a fee.  So Fuji sounds good. 

 

I hope it works this time.

 

Happy New Year to you too.

Lora:

Thank you for your suggestions. Yes, we need to think about to establish the organization seriously. At last BBQ party, Mr. Hu (zhiyu) suggested that we can set it up as a non-profit 503b organization. He would be happy to provide the help. I'd like to ask all members starting the brain storm of all topics Lora provided. We can discuss them at the gathering party.

Please let me any more suggestions. If there is no objection, I am going to contact Fuji and reserve the room/s.

Thanks,

What is the meaning of life? Absolutely none! Without or with life on the earth, the planet goes around the sun.

 

However, that does not mean we can not enjoy life.

 

As for the benefits as a registered JSTXH, it is up to your expectation and perception. From my point view, an organized JSTXH will bring us closer and give us a formal platform to share and support. In China or US, no one cares about individual unless you are Yao Ming. While life has no meaning, it certainly has interests. An organized group is a force for our common interests and welfares. We may have our periodic journal to exchange, reflect and comment. Doris's parents have very rich life experiences which are wealth for all of us.

 

We will dig/find more when the time passes. However, meeting Laoxiang here is more than enough we ask for. What are the benefits in your mind?

I think we are people; people need social activities; social activities need people to organize; organize social activities need people to be socially together; being socially together reduce the potential to slip into or avoid Parkingson's disease or Alzheimer; in my opinion, therefore, that's the benefit.   --- On Wed, 1/25/12, Shaoping Xie <sp_...@yahoo.com> wrote:

Mike,   Based on Lara's points, I add one --- What is benefits to members? (except group BBQ)

Thank you. Zong-Yuan  HU, drh...@gmail.com (中文兼容 GB3212) .

Mike and everyone:

Happy Chinese New Yr to you all.

I would help you to set up the non-profit org.  the main issue is that it requires people to maintain it and follow up from time to time,  like operating a company.  accounting and expenses;  if nobody will donate money to the org that wouldrequire tax exempt treatment,  there will be no benefits,  instead it will have cost.  who will pay for it?  if not maintaining,  it will die in two years.  please think about it.  not to mention lawyer fee,  the actual cost could be around $1000. to set up the non-profit company and get it registered with IRS.

ZhiYu,

Thanks for your efforts.

 

All,

I suggest to just hold 2 items and resume them when our org ready.

1 -- non-profit org

2 -- Membership fee (donations/contributions should be welcomed).

 

I am leading 3 associations, and involve a lot Chinese community events, I I experienced such issues all the time).

 

Let try hard to promote our JXTXH at any social opportunities, including facebook, LinkedIn, etc ,make it growing faster and stronger and seeking ways to ask donations/sponsorship for our events.

 

Quarterly gathering could be an option to show off and call new prople.

 

Happy New Year again (初四).

Thank you.

Let me know if you are going to attend the party and # people.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks for booking the party, Mike!  

 

I am glad to see some enthusiasm now.  It should be fun to get together to celebrate our holiday.  I will get the invite out.

 Zhiyu Hu, Esq.

 

 

 

I think that we are the least active Tongxianghui. I really hope that every one is more active in the new year. If we put JSTXH at the bottom and only think about it only when nothing else in our mind, then it will have no chance.

2月4日，我值班。

要是能脱身，我会去。

万一有事要处理，不能离开，请老姚给我你的手机号，我到时会Call-in

If you both will be working that day and I haven’t seen many responses for the party, shall we take a rain check?

[Shaoping Xie]

I will go there with my son if we decide to have the party.

A Sunday lunch is better, so people in NYC can come, like Harry (Liu). I am sure he won't come for the night party. Driving is easier day time, and a lunch gets us to the end of the lunch time, pretty much to 4 p.m. Peaple who have kids feel better to stay. Night time, they don't stay. Then both Mike and Kevin have no excuses not coming.

[Mike Yao]

All:

I am ok with Rebecca's idea. How about we set -Sunday Lunch at Fuji from 11:30 to 3:30PM on Feb 5th?

I can change the reservation. 

Thanks,

Mike

Dear all:

As far as of today, there are only few people interested to attend the party. I would like to postpone it until spring when the weather gets warmer. 

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

Zong-Yuan, thanks for your call last night.

Let me know if you have any idea about how to setup, grow our organization or suggestion for new events.

Happy 元宵节。

Mike

一个组织要活跃得起来，必须得有个热心的”领导“有常规地组织聚会，一个月一次或两次，或者双月一次。不管多少次，不管多少人参加，但是得是定期的，然后大家才会起劲儿。就像Doris为大家所做的，每年夏天一次，她积极认真地在那儿准备，号召，埋头苦干，毫无个人利益得失之想 － 会不会有人来啊？有多少人来啊？她的Email邀请字字诚恳，实实在在，一次又一次，发好几遍，字里行间的真诚让我们真的很感动。这就是为什么很多人都特别喜欢去她家。 我们这里缺少这样一个”头儿”。似乎大家都心有余，力不足 － 工作忙、距离远、时间，地点、干什么......。我们的生活节奏永远和未知数平行而进。比如，忙到这会儿夜深了，才有空看个私人Email, 写几个字。平日整天在八、九、十个工作网/Email里滚来滚去。唉......

Mike and All,

 

    It is great to have met you at the BBQ party.

 

    I have compiled the contact information. Please check to make sure the accuracy and let me know if there are errors. I have sent the invitation and please kindly reply to join the group if you are still not a member.

 

    By the way, I suggest that we voluntarily donate $20-50 to set up JSTXH as a nonprofit organization (All the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are exempted.) with help from Zhiyu. We may use jstxh.us as our web address (jstxh.org has been taken while jstxh.com is still available.). Please give your input.

 

    Regards,

 

    Shaoping
