            (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導)  紐英崙龍岡親義公所2月25日晚在帝苑大酒樓慶祝戊戌狗年新春，約380名宗親、嘉賓歡聚一堂，展望未來，互勉團結，期待十月到紐約參加世界龍岡親義公所懇親大會。

             紐英崙龍岡親義公所是由劉關張趙四姓組成的宗親會，不但有獨特祖訓，提點宗姓子孫要「勉之勉之！勿以惡小而為之，勿以善小而不為。惟賢惟德，能服於人。」，也有曾在香港當校長的已故宗親張金泉創作了會歌。

             在紐英崙各姓氏宗親會中，龍岡親義公所近年每次春宴時掛出上書桃園結義，忠義仁勇的四姓宗祖(劉備，關羽，張飛，趙雲)巨幅畫像，以及劉關張趙的四姓標旗，總是給人更濃厚的宗族傳承感覺。

             當晚的慶祝會，由洪青體育會舞獅拉開序幕，劉秀華，趙寶玲擔任司儀，顧問劉承德宣讀祖訓後，主席關麗莎致歡迎詞，副主席張錦龍致答謝詞。兩名元老趙羨藻，張國華則在開場前不停的和到會宗親，嘉賓握手寒暄。

關麗莎指出，紐約龍岡已連續五年來波士頓支持該會活動，情誼感人，今年十月，紐約龍岡將承辦世界龍岡懇親大會，盼宗親屆時踴躍加入支持行列，一起到紐約助陣。

            駐波士頓經文處處長賴銘琪，僑教中心主任歐宏偉，紐英崙中華公所主席陳家驊，波士頓市議員愛德華費林(Ed Flynn)，紐約龍岡主席張德江，波士頓僑務委員蔣宗壬，梅錫銳等人都是當晚嘉賓。

             陳家驊在致詞時表示，紐英崙龍岡親義公所這名稱，最重要的是親義兩字，親指仁民愛物，義是羊火兩字合併而成，意指犧牲自己，忘我服務人群，既是中華文化五千年的結晶，也彰顯了龍岡親義公所從創立初期就理想崇高。

             賴銘琪說明自己正在打包行李，準備調返台灣，但心裡已開始不捨紐英崙僑胞，希望大家將來像支持他一樣，繼續支持新的經文處處長。

             陳銘俊，歐宏偉也都一一應邀致詞外，波士頓市議會新科議員愛德華費林還特地送上表揚狀。

             當晚站出來講話的嘉賓中，最特別的是律師John P. Connell。盡管打贏官司已是2016年12月的事了，他仍然很感慨的強調，這場打破龍岡分裂局面的官司，關麗莎的確付出很多。不少龍岡宗親也期盼，在過去廿年中經歷過兩次分裂的公所，今後能團結一致。

             餘興節目部分，除了司徒宗達與葉福文扮的兩名財神串走全場，送出金元寶，巧克力糖給座中嘉賓外，胡文欽跳肚皮舞最是搶眼。(圖片已於3月2日發表)

                   紐英崙中華專業人員協會的新任董事長蕭蔚，新任會長彭淑敏當天主持大局，理事黃俊義，康雅雰，董事陳玫菁，以及財政莊紀華等人，協助辦理報到，整理抽獎品，江佩蓉主持含”狗”字成語有獎競報，才子袁尚賢創作各式元宵燈謎供出席者競猜，會場笑聲不斷。

                 彭淑敏在會中報告，該會和頂大學人及年輕學者合作，訂今年三月到七月，以政治，文學，醫療，資訊科技(IT)等四大領域為主題，舉辦系列講座，希望各界踴躍參噢，和頂大學人及年輕學者交流。

                駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處，當天有副處長陳銘俊，教育組組長陳幗珍，外交部副組長洪麗芳到會。

                   陳銘俊說明，外交人員常要搬家，經文處處長賴銘琪就因為要和搬運公司處理搬家事宜，這天無法出席。他自己也即將於七月調返，這將是他最後一次參加中華專協的元宵慶會，心中很是不捨。

波士頓經文處副處長陳銘俊說住在波士頓的人不能不驕傲。(周菊子攝)

                   陳銘俊坦言，剛來時，他其實不喜歡波士頓，不是因為天氣冷，而是這裡的人太驕傲，但久了之後，他卻覺得住在波士頓的人不能不驕傲，因為這裡是美國文化起源地。他認真做過研究，波士頓有美國第一所公立學校，最古老的餐廳，第一個電影院，公園，幾乎無論什麼都是美國的第一個。最優秀的人才也在這兒，不只是哈佛，MIT等許多知名大學院校，就連高中，小學都是，譬如安多福(Andover)的菲立普斯學院(Phillips Academy)。他如今覺得，波士頓空氣好，僑胞好，學校好，離開後，波士頓的回憶，一定長留他心裏。

經文處教育組組長陳幗珍還是地一次出席中華專協元宵慶會。(周菊子攝)

              經文處教育組組長陳幗珍去年底才調來波士頓，謙遜表示這還是她第一次出席中華專協的元宵慶會，希望以後有機會多見面請益。

江佩蓉(前右)主持搶說狗年成語。(周菊子攝)

               袁尚賢創作的燈謎，要求競猜者根據他的謎法五章來找線索，要斷章取義，歪打正著，牽強附會，切忌犯面，力求典雅。他的謎題真是五花八門，例如”儲蓄太少，只得離婚、，要猜數學三字，”吃下去一定會胖”猜成語，”不管三七廿一”猜數學，”不服氣的話”猜地理二字，”看到就火大”猜成語四字，”襁褓裏的孩兒”猜食品二字，”渭流漲膩”猜食品化學四字等等，有些謎題讓所有人搜索枯腸都想不出答案，有些才拿出來就被搶答，包括史美芳在內，會場顯然有二，三名猜謎高手，競猜得非常高興。

昆士市設風雪救難基金 3/13將籌款

Storm Relief Fund Created; Special Event March 13 At Alba QUINCY – Mayor Thomas Koch and Ward 1 Councillor David McCarthy announced today the creation of a relief fund to benefit victims of the devastating March 2 storm highlighted by a community fund-raiser slated for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 13 hosted by Alba Restaurant owner Leo Keka. Donations may be made payable to “Quincy Storm Relief Fund” and mailed c/o Eastern Bank - B366, 34 Chapman Street, Quincy, MA 02170 or dropped at any Eastern Bank location. Monetary donations will also be accepted at the door of the fund-raiser. The fund will be administered by Quincy Community Action Programs. Flooding victims should call 617-657-5320 or e-mail quincystormrelief@qcap.org to begin a brief and confidential application process. The fund will be able to provide some immediate assistance. Benefit caps will be established. One-hundred percent (100%) of the fund proceeds will be used directly to help households. “Many members of our community are going through a terrible ordeal right now, and at the same time so many people want to step up and help. We hope this effort will provide a little immediate assistance to our neighbors at a time when they need it most,” said Mayor Koch and Councillor McCarthy in a joint statement. “We are tremendously grateful to Quincy Community Action Programs for offering their expertise and resources in administering the fund and to Leo for hosting the event. Neither had to be asked to help – they stepped up and offered. It is partners like them, and all the folks who have asked to help, that make Quincy such a special community.” The fund is being designed for victims hardest hit by the storm – those who suffered severe property damage; who may be displaced from their homes for a long period time; who lost personal and family belongings; and those in need of assistance for basic necessities. Fund administrators ask that those who may have only suffered multiple days of power loss to consider if they need the assistance. By the same token, people should feel comfortable asking for assistance, and that is why the benefits process will be confidential. Tuesday’s event will include food and entertainment, as well raffle and door prizes.

Baker-Polito Administration to Open Resource Recovery Centers for Coastal Storm Survivors

Baker-Polito Administration to Open Resource Recovery Centers for Coastal Storm Survivors

BOSTON – The Baker-Polito Administration today announced Resource Recovery Centers will open later this week in Quincy and Marshfield and will provide enhanced services and programs to meet the needs of homeowners, tenants and others who were impacted by last week’s coastal storm. Disaster survivors who are not able to go to one of the Resource Recovery Centers will be able to call Massachusetts 2-1-1 for access to the same disaster recovery programs that will be available through the physical Resource Recovery Centers. Volunteers will be available through voluntary organizations to help clean out damaged homes.

“We are opening these Resource Recovery Centers to ensure the people whose homes were damaged by last week’s severe coastal flooding have access to the resources they need to get back on their feet,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “The Centers and Massachusetts 2-1-1 will be set up in Quincy and Marshfield to serve our coastal communities in need, and we are grateful that volunteers are willing to pitch in to visit damaged areas to clean up debris in homes and businesses.”

“The response to last week’s storm would not be possible without the hard work and cooperation between the Commonwealth, MEMA, the National Guard, volunteers and all those impacted by this storm and we are grateful for their ongoing commitment to keep Massachusetts safe,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “Many communities and their residents are still recovering from last week’s major coastal storm and we hope these new resources will ease the recovery process and help people get back on track.”

“Many government and non-profit organizations have worked tirelessly in the response and recovery from the historical coastal storm,” said Secretary of Public Safety Dan Bennett. “Our key partners at Massachusetts 2-1-1, the American Red Cross and Massachusetts Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters have helped organize these recovery resources for those impacted by the storm.”

“These Resource Recovery Centers are one stop shopping to access an array of services from the state and non-profit organizations that may be needed after a disaster,” said MEMA Director Kurt Schwartz. “A disaster survivor can go into a resource recovery center, or call 2-1-1, to be connected to service organizations that can assist those in need.”

Resource Recovery Centers

MEMA and the American Red Cross, working collaboratively with local emergency managers, will open two regional Resource Recovery Centers to support disaster survivors.  Based on input from coastal communities, one center will open Thursday afternoon in Quincy (to serve the greater Quincy/Hull area), and a second center in Marshfield (to serve the greater Scituate, Marshfield and Duxbury area) will open on Saturday. Disaster survivors from any of the communities along the Massachusetts coastline are welcome in these regional centers. 

Each Resource Recovery Center will be staffed by representatives of key local and state agencies, the American Red Cross and Salvation Army and disaster relief organizations affiliated with Massachusetts Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD). State agencies include the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA), Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), Department of Children and Families (DCF), Department of Mental Health (DMH), Department of Public Health (DPH) and Division of Insurance (DOI).

Quincy Recovery Resource Center

Schedule: Thursday March 8 & Friday March 9, 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Address: 1 Merrymount Parkway, Quincy, MA

Marshfield Recovery Resource Center

Schedule: Saturday March 10 & Sunday March 11, 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Address: Martinson Elementary School, 167 Forest St., Marshfield, MA

Virtual Recovery Assistance

MEMA, the American Red Cross, and Massachusetts 2-1-1 will activate the 2-1-1 information line as a virtual Resource Recovery Center beginning on Thursday March 8^th. Disaster survivors will be able to call 2-1-1 to access disaster services from state agencies, private non-profits and the MA VOAD, similar to the services that will be available in the physical Resource Recovery Centers. 

Homeowners and tenants of flooded homes will also be able to request volunteer support from VOAD agencies to help clean out their damaged homes by calling 2-1-1 or visiting a Resource Recovery Center.
