推动休斯敦族裔文化活动

由美南新闻推动举办的农历新年园游会， 屈指已经有二十六年之久。 我们始终觉得生活在海外的华裔社区对於固有之文化传统怀有一种乡愁 ，希望在海外继续流传下去。

在新任惠迈市长之大力支持下， 今年我们将扩大庆祝， 并且邀集休斯敦国际社区包括非裔 、亚裔、 拉丁裔及主流社团参加， 庆祝大会分為三大部份， 有美食、 文艺表演及商业展示 。预计有二百个摊位， 将接待二万宾客参加。

休斯敦是德州最大城， 拥有强大之经济实力、 能源、 太空、 高科技及医疗之重镇， 新任市长深知推动观光投资之重要性， 他上任后将加强城市外交， 為促进文化交流及经济繁荣而努力。

今年我们将為休斯敦市推出三大活动 ，其中包括二月十日之农暦新年嘉年华， 四月二十六日之国际区大游行及九月份对警消人员致敬大会等。 

我们同时在此感谢市长对国际社区之大力支持 ，他认為， 只有大家团结合作才能完成我们未来之市政建设。

Promoting Houston's International Culture

Southern News  Group has been sponsoring the Texas Lunar New Year Festival for over the last 26 years. We have always been proud to be a part of our cultural tradition.

With the strong support of our new mayor and community leaders, we will expand our celebration this year and join with Houston's international comnunity and relocate to a new location at Alief ISD Career Center on Richmond Ave. We are expecting to have 200 booths and plan to welcome 20,000 guests. 

Houston is the largest city in Texas with a strong economic base that includes major energy companies, home to NASA and high-tech developers and the world famous Texas Medical Center. 

This year we will launch three major activities for Houston including our annual Lunar Festival, an international parade and a special tribute event to our first responders. 

We are so grateful to be a part of this great city. All of us need to come out to support our new city leadership that is working to improve the quality of our lives. After all, this is our home.
