✅ Attendance at the City’s Bicycle Use and Safety seminar
✅ Scheduled senior home performance in August

This month, we were thrilled to receive city funding for our new project:
“Jiahemay Golden Melody series “

Through nostalgic melodies and rhythmic movement, the project aims to help seniors:

*Prevent cognitive decline
*Enhance balance and coordination
*Relieve loneliness and boost emotional well-being
*Increase social interaction
*Improve quality of life

With the preparation phase complete, the project is set to launch, aligning closely with government priorities on active aging, mental health, and community support.

🤝 We warmly invite young volunteers who are passionate about community service to join Jiahemay, bringing care and connection to our seniors while building a more harmonious society.

March event review——- Blooming of happiness and passion

In the past March, our community activities were in full swing! The choir and the band used notes to connect laughter and joy; in the rehearsal of the Multicultural Festival, everyone used dance and music to weave a cultural bridge; the members of the dance team and the waist drum team were fully committed, and every movement was full of power; Tai Chi enthusiasts started a beautiful day with morning exercises, and chess friends enjoyed their skills on the chessboard.

Weekly gatherings are not only rehearsals and exercises, but also the transmission of friendship and warmth. Thank you to every participant for your enthusiasm, making our community as warm as home! Looking forward to continuing to work together in April to create more excitement!

The collision of deliciousness and excitement: Performance report of the Asian Food Festival of the jiahemay senior Association

On July 20, the Family Harmony and Beauty Association participated in the performance of the first Asian Food Festival, attracting thousands of spectators. Despite the hot weather, the actors arrived early, put on makeup, changed clothes, and took the time to rehearse.

The Tibetan dance “Sun Girl" was full of energy and won warm applause. The unique costume design of the catwalk dance “Walking on the Road of Life" was particularly appreciated by foreign audiences. The Tai Chi performance “Chinese Kung Fu" was also well received.

The success of this performance is inseparable from the efforts of the staff behind the scenes. President Jack personally came to the scene to cheer and sent mineral water. Model leader Teacher Chen watched the rehearsal video and reminded the team members to pay attention to details. Wendy carefully selected the costumes to ensure that each look was unique.

The Food Festival not only has rich food but also colorful cultural performances and motorcycle shows. The performance of the Family Harmony and Beauty Association showed the talents and team spirit of the members and brought joy to the audience. We are  looking forward to more exciting events in the future!
