跨越国界的友谊与学习之旅

郭奕涵 12岁 6年级

去年的一天，我爸爸忽然喜出望外地问我，“你愿不愿意与中国云南的同龄小学生通过网络聊天交流学习？” 我知道我爸爸对我中文学习很重视，而我自己也的确知道熟练掌握中文对于Chinese American的重要性。于是我毫不犹豫地答应了。我希望我的中文水平得到进一步提高，也期盼与中国的同龄小朋友一起交流，在实践中更快的提高自己的听说能力。

31 Years of Tradition: The Black Hill Barbecue Uniting the Greater DMV Community

By: Peishi Yu

Since 1993, the Black Hill Barbecue held in Black Hill Regional Park, Maryland has been a staple of the Chinese Alumni Associates of Greater Washington (CAAGW) for 31 years. It’s an important event where people in the Greater DMV area can come together to enjoy food, marvel at live performances, and bond with others. Every year, more than 70 alumni of the CAAGW come to this event, and this year is no different. This year on May 12, the park was as lively as could be with many events.

Volunteering at the Pikes Peek 10k Race

Ruichen Feng, 7th grader ,

April 21, 2024

It’s the second year since I joined Capital Youth Outreach Club( CYOC), which I am very proud of because we are a group of young people that serve our community. This time, as a CYOC memeber, I am helping with the 2024 10K race happening in our region. It was a chilly morning at Pike and Rose as me and my dad drove into the parking garage. As I was walking with him, I saw a big sign that said “Pikes Peek 10k” (It was spelled “peek”, I don’t know if that was intentional or not), which was the name of the race I volunteered for today.

又逢一年一度的Pike‘s Peek 10K比赛，这是MCRRC（Montgomery Country Road Runner Club)组织的一个活动，比赛始于Shady Grove Metro Station，止于Pike and Rose; 基本沿着355奔跑；点到点直线赛道且整体下坡，一直受到众多跑步爱好者的青睐，也被跑者爱好者称为PR course，成为很多跑着者测试自己10公里跑步成绩的必跑，也是跑者们测试其他长度的比赛（半马或全马）配速的标杆；赛后兼有音乐，美食，美景，跑步爱好者都可以借此机会聚聚，perfect networking。
