Dear Friends:                                                                                                               March 10, 2002

The TAC/EC-2002 Committee cordially invites you to come to this year’s TAC/EC Summer Conference at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, July 4 through July 7, 2002 (Thursday through Sunday).  We have developed a host of interesting programs to share with you.  Our keynote speakers will include government dignitaries and academic and media personalities from Taiwan and achieved individuals from the U. S.  Internationally famed musicians Cho-Liang Lin, Felix Fan and Hung-Kuan Chen will perform Taiwanese and  Western classical music in our concert.

The University of Massachusetts at Amherst (U Mass) is situated at the heart of the western Massachusetts vacation land. This attractive campus is easily accessible via major highways. The Conference Center is spacious and comfortable.  The Concert Hall comes with a large stage and theater seating, and is air-conditioned.  The dormitories and cafeteria are all near-by.

This 33rd TAC/EC Summer Conference is being organized by the Boston Taiwanese community. “Come Together, Taiwanese Americans!” is the theme for this year’s conference.  By this theme, we seek to emphasize our resolve to work together and  work hard for a beautiful future for America and Taiwan. 

Our programs will reflect our concerns for what’s happening in the world stage as well as what touches our everyday life. There will be key-note speeches, presentations, panel discussions,  recreation programs, a classical music concert, and of course the Taiwan Night.  We will present to you experts in medicine, economics, financial management, investment, environmental protection, and family consultation to head our panel discussions.  Please review the program schedule for more information.

This year’s Second Generation program is being organized by SOTA (the Society of Taiwanese Americans).  The program will include five focus groups by age and emphasize workshop and team work approaches.  Please read our Second Generation invitation letter for further description of the program.

We have set-up a permanent TAC/EC web site (www. TACEC.org).  Please check up on our web site regularly for more information and updates.  Soon you should be able to download the registration forms here.  Also, you can find more information about U Mass by linking through our site.  We welcome your comments.

We sincerely hope you and your family can join us in this 33rd TAC/EC Summer Conference.  Please plan early and reserve time to come.  You can expect the registration forms to reach you in early May.  Or, you can visit our web site and get a jump on it.
