CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE會長的話

We are now in the middle of winter and there appear to be some very cold days, or is it that I am just getting a little bit older. I am very pleased that the ACCC was one of the organizations involved with the Taniwha & Dragon Festival on April 27. Closer relations between the Maori and Chinese communities are long overdue. After all, there are a lot of similarities in our cultural practices. I hope that we springboard off the experience and that it leads to more events where there is strong participation from both sides.

The ball has now started rolling in relation to the acquisition of 1 New North Road for the City Rail Loop. There will be meetings between the consultants employed by Auckland Transport and ourselves and, hopefully, we will arrive at a good outcome. Knowing how much money we will have available to us will be very useful when we have to look at alternative accommodation for our activities.

I have decided not to put myself forward to contest the election for the chairman's position at the AGM in August. I have been involved with your society for 35 years as secretary, deputy-chairman and, for the last six, as chair. I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to all those that I have worked with and those who have supported my term as chair.

Warmest best wishes

Arthur Loo
Chairman

正直在冬季之時溫度好像變得很冷，還是我年紀越來越大呢？我很高興屋崙華僑會所參與了4月27日的雙龍盛會。毛利人和華社之間建立更緊密的關係姍姍來遲。畢竟我們之間很多文化相同的地方。希望可以藉此活動讓兩個社團有更多共同的活動。

因城市鐵路線而收購New North Road一號建築的程序正式開始。奧克蘭交通局的顧問將和我們商討有關細節，希望得到很好的結果。讓我們知道有多少資金我們便能夠知道該另覓什麼類型的居所配合我們的活動。

我決得在八月的會員大會不再競選會長一職。我參與了華僑會所的的事務超過35年，當過秘書、副會長、然後在過去六年當上了會長一職。我衷心希感謝所有一直與我同行的大家和支持我作為會長一職。

最熱忱的祝福

盧錫溪
會長
