我们向市长致敬

随着蛇年春节之到来,美南新闻依例举办德州农暦新年游园大会,这已经是我们第二十九届举办这项活动。今年比较特别的是籍此大会邀请了一百多个国际社区之领袖及宗教、文化、教育界人士共同庆祝休斯敦市长惠特曼就职週年并向他表示致敬。

蛇年是我们社区及全国甚至全球将带来重大变化之一年,首先我们要向昨天在华盛顿波多马河和军机相撞之美航伤亡乘客表示由衷之哀悼。

惠特曼市长就任一年多来,他首要任务是在整顿治安,对於市政交通之改善及简化建筑执照,同时开始兴建另一座会展中心增强观光经济繁荣,将有重大之影响，市长对於华亚裔社区之发展和治安也特别关心,他对国际区在本市所扮演之角色也经常在各种埸所给予讃扬和鼓励。

值此新春佳节,我们特向大家致候,并希望共同努力和团结以报团取暖之方式相互支持和爱护。

We Pay Tribute To The Mayor

With the arrival of the Spring Festival of the Year of the Snake, Southern News Group held the Texas Lunar New Year Festival as usual, as we celebrated our 29th anniversary of this great event.

This year we invited more than 100 international, community, religious, cultural and education leaders to come together to celebrate the inauguration anniversary of Houston's Mayor John Whitmire.

The Year of the Snake will be a year that brings about major changes in our community, and especially in the whole world.

Mayor Whitmire has been in office for more than one year. His primary tasks are to strengthen the pubic safety, improve the city‘s infrastructure and expedite of all kinds of city permits. At the same time, the city already has started to build another convention center to enhance the prosperity of the tourism economy. The Mayor also is very concerned about the development and security of our community. He 

has often openly praised the International District on numerous occasions.

On the occasion of this Spring Festival, we would like to ask everyone to work together and unite to support and live with each other in peace and harmony.
