情系台胞 – “88水灾”救援募捐倡议书
亲爱的华社会员，各位同胞，各位朋友：
在我们享受夏日的妩媚，野餐的欢乐的时候，远在台湾南部的同胞正在遭受莫拉克台风的无情摧残。8月8日，连续两天的狂风暴雨摧毁了多少辛苦创建的家园，夺走了多少色彩斑斓的生命，更有多少贫困的村民在死亡线上痛苦地挣扎。截至8月19日的统计，已有136人死亡，523人仍被埋在泥石流中，生死不明。
过去的十天，对莫拉克台风的受难者来说是多么艰难。目睹灾情，我们倍感焦急，因为我们远隔重洋，无法与时间赛跑，救回每一位同胞，哪怕只有百分之一的希望。
但是，灾害无情人有情，一方有难八方援。去年的五月，我们曾经汇聚一堂，为四川的同胞奉献无私的关爱，特别是来自台湾的朋友，曾和我们风雨同舟，奔波操劳。
滴水之恩，还当涌泉相报。今天，让我们再一次本着“上善若水 厚德载物”的传统美德，奉献一份爱心，为台湾灾区的人民慷慨解囊。无论款项多少，无论物资贵贱，您的一份援助，会给受难者无限的安慰和温暖；您的一份关怀，会使他们远离痛苦，重建生命的希望。
为此，纽约首府华社，中文学校，美中友协，SUNY, RPI 学生会，将于本星期日（8月23日）下午2点至6点，在华社之家联合举办募款慈善活动。邀请您和您的家属，带上您的朋友前来参加。
为使捐款顺利送到灾区，我们华社设立了捐款独立帐户，负责将募集的捐款统一寄给台湾慈济慈善组织。
请将您的爱心捐款寄至 Chinese Community Center
地址：11 Avis Drive, Latham NY 12110.
标明：CCC Taiwan Typhoon Morakot Disaster Relief Fund
Early this month, Taiwan was hard hit by Typhoon Morakot, causing landslide and flash floods that have killed at least six hundred people, buried several villages with mud, and left hundreds of thousands of people homeless. The human and material losses are enormous and still mounting.
Help is urgently needed. To help out the Morakot victims, the Chinese Community Center of the Capital District of New York (CCC) is organizing a fund raising event this coming Sunday (August 23) between 2:00-6:00 pm at The Chinese Community Center, 11 Avis Drive (off Wade Road), Latham, 12110.
Our goals are to help those deeply affected rebuild their homes and schools. We sincerely hope that you will join us in lending our hands to the victims and letting them know that we care. A Relief Fund is set up for this purpose. Please make your donation check payable to CCC and mail to 11 Avis Drive, Latham, New York 12110, with a note “Morakot Relief Fund” on your check. CCC will send the donations to Tzu Chi Foundation in Taiwan, which will administer the funds for the benefits of the Marakot survivors.

Your HELP is needed for NEW STUDENTS!!!
Dear Chinese Students, Scholars and CSSA friends,
Thank you for your every support to our Chinese Students and Scholars Association. We appreciate all your effort, making our association a lovely community for every Chinese student and scholar. As every year before, it is time to arrange airport pick-up and temporary accommodation for coming students. Almost all of us still vividly remember the help we got from senior students during the first days we set foot on Albany. We sincerely appreciate their help - it was them making us feeling at home in the United State!
Now, it is time to thank those helped us. We are recruiting volunteers to pick up coming students and volunteers who have spare room to provide temporary accommodation. To cover some of your expense, and as a kind of "thank you" from new students, they will give you $5 for the airport pick-up and $10 per day per person for temporary stay. We encourage everybody of you who have cars and have some free time in August to contact us. We will provide you time table of arriving students, and you can choose convenient time to help them. Also, we highly appreciate if you can provide temporary accommodation for new students.
Please email us at UAlbanyCSSA2009@gmail.com with your information or contact President Zubin Liu (alwaysbinhere@gmail.com) at 518-577-4751. He is in charge of new students reception for academic year 2009-2010. Your help will be highly appreciated by new students and every member of CSSA executive board!

请向新生们伸出您的援助之手
中国学生、学者，CSSA的友人们，
你们好！我们中国学生会感谢你们长期以来的一贯热心支持！现在又到了每年新生加入我们大家庭的时候了。相信大家都记得当初我们第一次到达Albany的情景，很多同学都得到了来自高年级同学的热心帮助，才得以顺利地在这个异国他乡安顿下来。我们真心希望这个温馨的传统能够延续下去，给予新来的同学最实际的帮助。
由于学生会的人力物力有限，现在我们诚挚地求助所有有条件的、热心的同学和友人，为即将到来的新生提供接机和临时住宿。如果您有汽车，并且在8月左右有一定的空闲时间，我们恳切地希望您能联系我们。我们会给您提供新生的一些信息，让你们选择接机的时间和人员。如果您有可供新生暂住的地方，也请您联系我们，我们会安排您希望的同学到您那里去暂住。我们相信，您的热心将给新生们带来莫大的帮助，将会给他们到达美国后最初的日子带来难以忘怀的温暖！
按往年惯例，为了表示对向新生提供帮助的同学的感谢，新生将向提供临时住宿的同学支付每人每天10美元的费用(包含水电费等)。也许这个费用并不多，但希望能作为对你们热心帮助的一点补偿和谢意。我们也希望新生在离开临时住宿前能自觉地与为你们提供临时住宿的同学结算费用。学生会不参与费用转交。
请有条件为新生提供帮助的同学和友人将你们的资料发至：UAlbanyCSSA2009@gmail.com，或者致电本届执委会主席：柳祖彬 (alwaysbinhere@gmail.com) (1-518-577-4751)。也请你们将本信息转寄给所有乐意帮助中国新生的人士，我们感激你们的所有帮助！我们希望我们的学生会在新的一年中能给予大家更多的便利和帮助，让中国学生学者联合会成为一个更加温馨和睦的大家庭！

Summary from UAlbany CSSA 2008-2009 Executive Board
纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼分校08–09届中国学生学者联合会（CSSA）工作总结
我们首先要感谢全体UAlbany中国学生学者对CSSA一如既往的支持。是你们的肯定和积极参与，使得我们的工作得以顺利的开展和完成。
在过去的这一年中，CSSA最具特征的工作变化是寻求到了更为广泛的本科学生的参与和配合。无论是在伊始的迎新Barbeque，还是在而后的各类型晚会，较以往，本科学生发挥了更多的主观能动性。因此，无论是在CSSA的执委内部，还是其组织的各项活动安排，人事构成都变得更加丰富和完善。相应的，我们的工作和活动的内容的覆盖面也更加全面和到位，这与CSSA为更好的向中国学生学者服务的目标是一致的。
总结过去的这一年，CSSA所取的成绩是有目共睹的。通过迎新Barbeque，新一届的中国学生对我们的校园环境和华人社团的有了初步的了解和认识；Bowling Night和中秋晚会使得本校的中国学生学者不但加强了联系，促进了沟通，还增进了彼此间的友谊和信任；欢快的元宵晚会则让大家齐聚一堂，在异国他乡享受祖国浓厚的传统节日的气氛。这些活动使得本校的华人团体联系和相处得更为融洽、和睦，以及团结。
总结过去的这一年，由于全体中国学生学者的支持，CSSA在工作过程中遇到困难才能够积极而从容的应对。在元宵晚会，由于学校对Ball Room设备的提供不足而导致了晚会延迟，我们感谢当时大家耐心的等候。是你们的理解和包容，才使得本校华人团体这一每年度最重要的节目得以圆满的谢幕。
最后，在感谢大家对08 – 09届CSSA支持的同时，我们相信，新一届的执委会将会继往开来，与时俱进，将CSSA的工作活动开展得更为出色。我们还相信，在有全体中国学生学者一如既往的支持下，CSSA必将为本校的华人团体做出新的，更大的贡献。
