1.) "The Eye on Quincy TV Show"
This coming September will mark the 9th anniversary of the Eye on Quincy TV Show.
To reflect, here're our accomplishments:
A. The consistency in the Show's content on Quincy affairs and Asian affairs helps to build a sense oflocalism so that as Quincy residents, we learn where Pageant Field is. We become interested in when, where and what Flag Day is, the progress of the Quincy downtown development projects, the Mayor's annual budget proposal, the new and updated house value and tax rates, the on-line application for building permit, the significance of voter registration and to be well informed before casting a vote, ... etc.
B. We had formed a team and we still have a team. A team that is made up entirely with volunteers! Many who participated enjoyed the friendship, the knowledge about TV production, the glamour to be close with Quincy, with the Quincy media and the pride to be living in Quincy.
C. Precious and rare collection of Chinese/ English bilingual materials/ data: It has been a 9 year collection. We hope that some people will help re-arrange the data/ collections and make them into a photo display/ exhibit projects. With that said, Eye on Quincy will continue.
To celebrate the 9th anniversary, a BBQ is being planned. Stay tuned for details.
Please note that the next live "Eye on Quincy" is scheduled to
Monday, June 18, 2018 from 7pm to 8pm on QATV - Channel 8.

Asian voting and voter registration:
The above slide was created in 2015 and updated recently in 2018.
The raw data may imply some thoughts and may lead to some insights.
An on-line survey will be developed to try to learn more about why Asian voters responded disproportionately in voting.
