Spring Couplets & Blessings 挥春送福

Happy Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day!

On February 14th, we hosted a special celebration where community members received spring couplets to bring home, accessed community resources, created arts and crafts, and shared blessings for the new year.

Thank you to NYC Council District 38, CM Susan Zhuang, Healthfirst, Caipa Foundation and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield for your generous support in making this event possible! 新年快乐，情人节快乐！

2月14日，我们举办了一场特别的庆祝活动，社区成员在活动中领取春联带回家，获取社区资源，参与手工艺制作，并一起分享新年的祝福。

感谢纽约市议会第38选区、议员Susan Zhuang、Healthfirst、Caipa Foundation以及Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield 对本次活动的大力支持，使活动得以顺利举行！

Volunteer Appreciation Day

We celebrated our incredible volunteers at our Volunteer Appreciation Day for 2025, whose hard work, dedication, and kindness have made a lasting impact on our community. A special exhibition for our program, "Our Neighborhood, Our Lens," led by Cal Hsiao, showcased meaningful photos teens took of their neighborhood, after weeks of learning and curating.

We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Senator Steve Chan, Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes and Assemblymember Lester Chang, and Councilmember Alexa Avilés (NYC Council District 38) and Councilmember Susan Zhuang, for their support and for honoring PCR and the Fujian United Seniors of the USA.

We're extremely grateful for a community that cares deeply about one another, and we hope to keep moving forward together with momentum into an even better 2026! 义工感谢日

我们在2025年举办了“志愿者表彰日”活动，庆祝我们出色的志愿者们。他们的辛勤付出、奉献精神与善意为我们的社区带来了深远而持久的影响。

由Cal Hsiao带领的项目“我们的社区，我们的镜头（Our Neighborhood, Our Lens）”也特别进行了展览展示，呈现了青少年在经过数周学习与策展后，用镜头记录下的社区生活与有意义的瞬间。

我们衷心感谢参议员Steve Chan、州众议员Marcela Mitaynes与州众议员Lester Chang，以及纽约市议员Alexa Avilés（纽约市议会第38选区）和市议员Susan Zhuang，对PCR及美国福建长者联合会的支持与表彰。

我们非常感恩这个彼此关怀的社区，也希望在2026年继续携手前行，共创更美好的未来！

Baby Play Day

Today's Baby Play Day was especially gentle. We brought a sweet, calm kitten to meet the babies. Some of the babies quietly watched, and some gently touched the kitten with their parents by their side. The whole experience was peaceful and adorable.

At this age, feeling safe and being accompanied matters more than "doing" something.

Thank you to every family who joined us. We'll continue to organize these gentle and safe sensory activities in the future—stay tuned for the next one.

Reading Club ~

读书会～

Community members came together for another engaging session in our reading club, sharing thoughts and perspectives in a warm, welcoming space.

Dance Class

In our recent dance class, "Feel Your Body, Let Go," participants spent an hour being fully present by slowing down, being in the moment, and relaxing through movement.

Fresh Air Fund Workshop

Children ages 8-17 can apply for sleepaway camps in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley during the summer. Explore the outdoors, learn to swim, hike wooded trails and participate in various fun and exciting activities!

Clothing Distribution

Thank you to our amazing community for the generosity! Together, we collected 38 full bags of winter clothing that will be delivered to the church and other families in need.
