圣地亚哥中国馆,圣地亚哥中文学校,圣地亚哥华人服务中心,三大侨社昨晚在新乐宫拉开了4711蛇年新春团拜的序幕。48桌新春团拜盛宴的巨大场面中,不但有来自华社的嘉宾,还有不少洋嘉宾,其中会说 “恭喜发财” 讨吉利,身着华丽唐装的比比皆是。觥酬交错中人们互相交流问候,喜气洋洋。
锣鼓声中,由山姐姑中华会馆醒狮团表演的醒狮起舞。本地电视台资深华裔主持人迈克•陈(Michael Chen)主持团拜开幕,他首先向大家介绍了中国蛇年的历史文化。然后介绍出席团拜的主要嘉宾,他们是圣地亚哥郡郡长朗•罗伯茨(Ron Roberts)和圣地亚哥市市长包伯•费尔纳(Bob Filner),市政府以及法院等部门要员:Bronwyn lngram、Scott Barnett、 Robert Coates、Jim Hubblee、Mitz Lee、Edwin Lin、 Amor Juanito等。各侨社嘉宾有:中国馆主席薛显荣、圣地亚哥中文学校校长、华人服务中心主席徐惠宝、驻洛杉矶台经办宫中诚、高家富,中华会馆主席朱培德、州大孔子学院院长刘丽容、史维会会长罗黔辉、中国人协会代表、州大教授沈善普、ACCEF理事长周宁芸,以及本地各大中文学校的负责人、美墨边界两地侨界商界代表、赞助商等各界代表约500人。薛显荣、徐惠宝、朱培德几位侨领举杯祝贺大家新春愉快,恭贺大家在新的一年里身体健康,万事如意,共享繁荣。
侨领朱培德代表社区在本次团拜发表特别讲话,以缅怀最受圣地亚哥社区民众尊重,人们难以忘记的丹尼斯•艾弗瑞律师(Dennis Avery),缅怀他长期以来默默奉献社区,提供社区无数慈善帮助和关怀,对圣地亚哥社区作出了巨大贡献。之后包伯•费尔纳市长给艾弗瑞律师的夫人徐惠宝律师颁发了荣誉纪念状。
今年的团拜除了传统地享用丰富的团年饭外,还有抽奖助兴,最新颖的节目安排是州大孔子学院的丝绸之路时装表演,非常具有中华迎春的传统特色,加上由刘丽容教授用中英文作精彩介绍,文化时装内涵丰富,“件”中魅力妙不可言,时装表演很受欢迎。当一位身穿嫩芽绿色唐装的妙龄少女(杂技顶技演员骆莎舟)手摇一把嫣红的扇子款款走来,只见她将扇子顶在小巧的鼻尖,扇子开屏后再顶上只金色的酒杯,妙龄少女这时双手展开,而扇子上顶酒杯亭亭玉立在其鼻尖扇子,看似一红一绿两只蝴蝶在翩翩起舞。台下屏气观赏担心酒杯掉下来的观众此时不禁齐声叫好,和热烈地掌声交织一起回响在新乐宫…….(圣地亚哥华文网海黛报道SanDiegoChinesePress.com)
