過去的這些天我想大家都很心痛, 看著新聞上莫拉克颱風的消息. 同鄉們都希望自己可以替我們關心的故鄉盡一份心和力. 也有很多很愛故鄉的台美人問我大波特蘭台灣同鄉會打算如何幫忙. 在此我跟大家宣布我們目前的計劃:
(1) 賑災捐獻： 大波特蘭台灣同鄉會是全美台灣同鄉會的一員, 而全美台灣同鄉會已經成立了一個八八賑災捐款的專戶．我懇請大家拿出愛心幫忙現在最需要我們貢獻的災民. 捐款支票請直接寄到以下專戶:
後續支援： 這麼大的水災造成的破壞不是一天兩天可以重建的, 在主流媒體的新聞價值降溫之後, 我們大波特蘭台灣同鄉會目前還在籌辦第二波的募資活動. 詳細活動計劃將在理事會決定以後向各位同鄉報告.

Dear friends,
On August 8th, 2009, Typhoon Morakot slammed into Taiwan and caused severe damages to infrastructure and properties, as well as claiming hundreds of human casualties. The impact far exceeded that of “921 Earthquake” ten years ago. Many Taiwanese people lost their families, homes, and livelihood. Many have gone without food, water and shelter for days.
The TAGP (Taiwanese Association of Greater Portland) will team with other local Taiwanese groups to organize a fund raising music event to help the survivors and affected communities get back on their feet and return life to normalcy. We would like to extend our invitation to all who wish to give a helping hand during this difficult and challenging rebuilding process:
Hosting Organization: Taiwanese Association of Greater Portland
Sponsoring Groups: Portland Taiwan Lutheran Church, Bread of Life Church, Taiwanese Women’s Club of Greater Portland, Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce of Oregon, Formosa Association of Public Affairs – Oregon and SW Washington Chapter, Taiwan Hakka Association of greater Portland, Tzu-Chi Foundation, USA – Portland Service Center, and Portland State University Taiwanese Student Association
Event Time: 8/30/09 (Sunday) from 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Event Location: St. Andrew Lutheran Church, 12405 SW Butner Rd,Beaverton, OR, 97005
If you have any problems and questions, please contact the president of TAGP:
Jeffery Chang
(503)699-2118
Thank you.
