As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Jiahemay Senior Association brought together about 50 members for a special community performance at Erin Mills Lodge on September 4.

Led by President qiquan Zhang, our members prepared nearly one hour of diverse and lively performances, including Tai Chi, Baduanjin, waist drum, square dancing, traditional dance, fashion walk, singing, a band performance, string ensemble, and electric wind instruments.

The performance was made possible through the enthusiastic participation of our members and dedicated volunteers. Everyone contributed their time, energy, and talents to create a joyful afternoon for the seniors at the residence.

To share the festive spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Association also brought mooncakes and refreshments for the residents. Although the celebration came a little early, the warmth, music, laughter, and good wishes made the occasion feel truly festive.

Jiahemay Senior Association has continued this tradition of visiting local seniors’ residences and bringing cultural performances and companionship to older adults. We are especially grateful to all the volunteers and members who continue to give their time and talents to the community.

Through music, movement, culture, and friendship, we hope to bring a little more joy and warmth to the lives of seniors in our community.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! May this season bring health, happiness, and togetherness to everyone.

——家和美长者协会中秋爱心演出

中秋佳节将近，9月4日，在会长 Jack 的带领下，家和美长者协会约50位会员走进 Erin Mills Lodge，为这里的长者送上一场温馨而丰富的中秋爱心演出。

近一个小时的演出节目丰富多彩，有太极、八段锦、腰鼓、广场舞、舞蹈、走秀，也有歌曲、乐队、弦乐和电吹管等表演。会员们各展所长，用歌声、舞蹈和音乐，为养老院的长者带来了欢乐和节日的喜悦。

每一场演出都离不开义工们的辛勤付出。从前期准备到现场协调，大家积极参与、互相配合，只为了把一场精彩而温暖的演出带给长者。

为了增添中秋的节日气氛，协会还特意准备了月饼和一些食品，与养老院的长者一起分享节日的喜悦，送上来自社区的关心和祝福。

多年来，家和美长者协会一直坚持走进养老院开展公益演出，在春节、中秋等节日期间，用文化、音乐和陪伴为长者送去温暖。对许多移民长者来说，参与这样的社区活动，也是展示自己的才艺、发挥自己的特长、积极融入社区的一种方式。

一场演出虽然只有短短一个小时，但会员们带来的热情、欢笑和祝福，却让这个秋日增添了一份特别的温暖。

以文化传递关爱，以陪伴温暖社区。

祝大家中秋快乐，健康幸福！
