国际区凉亭将破土兴建

座落在休斯敦八号环市公路旁之斯多黎公园，本週六上午十时将為座美仑美奐之中式凉亭举行破土典礼 ，这将為国际区加添更多的亚裔文化色彩。

这座由赫里斯郡政府资助名华裔建筑师李兆琼设计之凉亭， 将使公园增加了更多之文化特色， 充分表现我们族裔融合之氛围。

近二十年来， 我们这些拓荒者在沿着百利大道上兴建了繁荣之商业街， 随着新移民之不断增加，他们自己信奉之宗教也建造了各族裔不同之教会佛堂 ，他们的事业和信仰是牢而不破之精神支柱。

我们要深深感谢柯郭郡长之支持和许多社区领袖之参与 ，把这座文化座标成為国际区之亮点。

International Pagoda Will Be Built At Arthur Storey Park

The Arthur Storey Park located on Houston’s Beltway 8 in the International District will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for a beautiful new Asian pagoda at 10:00 am this upcoming Saturday. This new addition to the park and the International District will add even more Asian cultural expression to our area.

This pagoda was designed by the famous architect C. C. Lee and funded by the Harris County government. This attractive and distinctive cultural display will feature and highlight the heritage  of the many Asian people that live in our community.

Over the past two decades, a group of pioneers have built a prosperous commercial street along Bellaire Blvd. with their own religions and beliefs. They also have built their churches and their temples in our district.

We would especially like to take this opportunity to thank our Commissioner Jack Cagle and many community leaders for their support in making this culturally important Asian pagoda a reality.

We welcome all of you to join us at the groundbreaking ceremony this upcoming Saturday at Arthur Storey Park to celebrate our heritage.
