                       (Boston Orange 周菊子勒星頓鎮報導) 同一名老師的學生，在2018這一年內，同時有8人獲得全美藝術與寫作學者金獎，2人獲得國會藝術比賽金獎。“源”藝術畫室學生們的成就，讓人驚喜發現，麻州華人子弟中有這麼多小藝術家。

            “源”藝術畫室創辦人，畢業於天津美術學院，來美前在大陸是名專業油畫家的程源安，為表揚學生成就，最近特地在勒星頓鎮紀念圖書館策劃了一場展覽，並在9月16日這天，舉辦了一場招待會。

            兩名國會藝術比賽獎得主及作品，分別是菲利普中學(Phillips Academy)舒凱揚的”吶喊(Cracked)”，沙朗(Sharon)高中的張雨諾的”恍惚(Trace)”，依序由國會議員妮基桑加(Niki Tsongas)，約瑟夫甘迺迪三世(Joseph Kennedy, III)在5月12日頒給了獎狀。

八名全美藝術與寫作學者獎(Scholastics Art & Writing Award)的素描彩繪及油畫等兩類金獎得主，則有7人來自麻州，1人來自新罕布夏州，分別是王詩琪，范逸馨，周嘉馨，鄒奕鍇，陳茜華，張黎雅，徐秋旻，吳康成。

全美藝術與寫作學者獎是在美國持續時間最長，最受重視的藝術活動之一，今年共有35萬件作品參賽，在29項分類中，只有2800件作品獲得全國性榮譽。

這些得獎學生，有的只跟隨程源安學了一年，有的已跟隨他十年有餘，他們在畫作上表現出來的想像力與繪畫技巧，讓人讚賞不已。

程源安來美18年，在劍橋中文學校執教17年，曾於2014年獲得全美中文學校協會優秀教師獎，也得過國務院僑辦的優秀教師獎。他坦言這些年來，桃李滿天下，到底教過多少學生，已經數不清，但經驗告訴他，學生們要畫得好，在天賦之外，更重要的是勤奮，還有學習方法。他認為，每個人都有自己意想不到的潛能，一旦把各人內在的想像力激發出來，創意佳作就會一發不可收拾的泉源而出。

程源安特地把他這些年教導7、8歲到12歲，以及12歲到18歲這兩個年齡段學生作畫的經驗，總結成”曇花課集”一書，分別闡述”形、色”，以及創意素描，即將於中國出版。

              2001年8月，程源安在朱蓉當年創辦，位於原王安劇院旁的國際藝文苑中，舉辦過主題為”胡同印象”的個人畫展。將來有一天，他希望再辦一次個人畫展。

BOSTON - Monday, September 17, 2018 - Mayor Martin J.

Bostonians are encouraged to join the month-long celebration by attending events throughout the City. On Thursday, September 20, from 12 to 2 p.m., the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services will be hosting Salsa on the Lawn at City Hall Plaza to celebrate with music, food, and entertainment. Residents are also encouraged to attend the Mayor's Latino Coffee Hour on Saturday, September 22 from 3 to 5 p.m. in East Boston's Central Square. "Events like the 'Latino Coffee Hour' and 'Salsa on the Lawn' are a great way for residents to meet and interact with each other as well as celebrate the Hispanic culture and appreciate what Hispanics have contributed to Boston and the United States," said Jerome Smith, Chief of Civic Engagement. "We encourage all residents of Boston to come and enjoy all the different programming we are creating in honor of this month." This year, the Latinx Employee Resource Group (ERG), a network of employees within the City of Boston, are spearheading events during the month. The group is building on its mission to promote the diversity and professional development of its members. "I am very proud of the work we have done to bring Employee Resource Groups to the City of Boston," said Danielson Tavares, Chief Diversity Officer. "The Latinx ERG is a great example of how the ERGs will play a critical role in the development of our workforce." Community organizations are invited to submit their events in commemoration of National Hispanic Heritage Month here.

(Boston Orange) 紐英崙昭倫公所為慶祝先祖姜太公3229歲生日，宗親首長們9月12日下午在波士頓華埠泰勒街會址匯聚，上香，祝禱。駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處處長徐佑典和新聞組長施維鈞也到場祝賀。

紐英崙昭倫公所是由談、譚、許、謝四姓組成的宗親會。自復會以來，由於譚榮熾，譚柏林，許揚威，謝中之，譚達兒，謝如鍵，談家權等歷任會長，總務的悉心經營，會務興旺，還在追查族系歷史時，發現不但談、譚、許、謝四姓源於周朝受封於齊國的姜子牙，有同宗之誼，而且都受過姜子牙侍衛阮誠的保護，所以阮氏也被視為宗親。

當天的祭祖儀式由總務謝中之主持，照例宣讀「姜太公在此，諸鬼神退位；寧向直中取，不往曲裡求；百物無禁忌，萬事皆太吉；興旺我昭倫，庇佑眾子孫。」的開場詞後，宗親們依序上香，鞠躬。

禮畢後，昭倫公所宗親和一種嘉賓，包括余麗媖，馬滌凡，阮鴻燦等人，歡聚，茶敘，享用金豬，鮮雞，素果，冬瓜湯。

波士頓台灣同鄉會野餐 200餘人歡聚

波士頓台灣同鄉會會長王志傑臉書刊文

呼，上星期六波士頓台灣同鄉會年度烤肉大會圓滿成功，超過二百個人共同歡樂。這個星期五幸福路上電影在波士頓播放 (同鄉會. NEACP. TAP 聯手合辦），放映廳三百個人整個滿座，早鳥票都還沒截止就賣光了，候補的人有多達百人想買票，整個活動相當成功而且有效率。

這一切可以這麼順利，全部得歸功於團隊幹部們還有許多志工們無償且非常熱心且有責任的付出。回想起在數個月前，活動策劃一開始只是一個電話會議 （同鄉會烤肉）或是一個圓桌討論 （電影活動），大概擬出個方向與時程，接著有無數的討論把許多細節與流程搞定，比方說場地去哪找 (只要有辦過大型活動的人都知道場地是最難搞的）. 美宣海報的製作. 宣傳的時程與方式. 票要怎麼賣 (要有小孩的票？要有家庭的票？）連帶的是要怎麼收費，要用 eventbrite 還是 paypal，要連到誰的銀行帳戶. 會不會有稅的問題等一大堆大大小小的事情得確認，而最近又是新工作每天弄到晚上八九點後還得想著許多活動上的環節。

這所有細節的背後其實都必須遵循著一個基本原則：我們不能超支，如果真的超支了，我們得有能力募款來填補缺口。我們的賣票收入必須要能夠在負擔了電影公司派來的人的所有交通. 食宿費用及公播費後， 還可以有足夠的經費可以應付所有活動該有的開銷，可想而知這是有許多風險的，更別提所有的幹部志工們都是全職的學生或是已經在工作了，大家都很佛心且熱情地為社群付出。

而令人氣餒的是在電影播放的前幾天收到通知說所有的文宣產品或是志工穿的活動衣服必須經過電影公司同意允許使用，如果有販售物品得另外收取權利金，要我們尊重著作權。我們無償地在幫社群服務. 幫電影公司宣傳，卻被貼了一個會動歪腦筋在活動上謀取利益的標籤，經過反應後的回應大意是: 我們沒有義務慰勞志工，如果活動有問題可以取消播放。當下覺得又好氣又好笑，電影公司真的天真以為要打進美國市場很簡單而且在美國的台灣人在為工作打拼之餘會想動電影活動歪腦筋，只想趕緊把活動圓滿完成，實在沒時間爭來爭去。

總之，這二個活動下來得感謝很多人及贊助單位，每次辦活動都會欠下很多人情債，還有感謝水某在許多大小事上幫我打點好，需要志工的時候她都會是第一個。
