今年是我們沙加緬度華人春節聯歡會籌委會舉辦的第七屆聯歡活動。七年前，
六個華人社團在麋鹿林的社區市政大廳舉辦了首屆春節聯歡會。今天，
這個籌委會已發展到有十六個社團組成。我們穫得了越來越多的工商界團體的支持，
各地方朋友和志願者的參與。在此我向大家表示衷心的感謝。
我們還要感謝加州州立大學沙加緬度分校在過去四年來一直是我們最佳的合作夥伴，
為聯歡會提供活動場地及技術人員的支援。
我們的前輩們築鐵路和淘金，為美國西部發展做出了許多重大的貢獻。
今天我們繼續在美國各個領域裡展現華人的聰明與才能。我們在這裡聚在一起，
就是要弘揚我們民族的精神和文化，教育我們的下一代，為建設美好的家庭和社區作貢獻。
梁建華 敬上

Dear Friends, and Guests:
On behalf of the Chinese New Year Celebration Alliance (CNYCA) committee, I would like to welcome you to the Celebration the Year of the Monkey. I wish everyone “Gung Hay Fat Choy” and “Xinnian Wanfu”.
Today is the seventh annual celebration in Sacramento organized by the Chinese New Year Celebration Alliance. This year, the alliance has set a record in having the largest number of local Chinese community organizations on its board: fifteen member organizations and one supporting member organization. The Chinese community leaders and a troop of volunteers have worded hard since last May to organize this event so that we can come together on this day to celebrate our culture and share our heritages. I would like to thank our business partners and devoted volunteers for their support in helping us make today a showcase for the Sacramento Chinese Americans. I would also like to thank Vice President Ric Brown and his colleagues of the California State University at Sacramento, for their generous support in the past four years.
One of the great strengths of our nation is diversity. The Chinese Americans have enriched the American Culture and contributed to the American economic prosperity for more than two centuries. Generations of Chinese have found their way to America and through hard work have been able to realize their dreams. This contribution has been recognized in the Railroad Museum, the Golden State Museum and many other museums. Let us continue this tradition to bring our talents and work ethics to make United States a better society.
Jian-Hua Liang
Chair, Chinese New Year Celebration Alliance
Vice President, Elk Grove Chinese Association
