美東臺科大校友會校友們
大家好!一直以來,台科大在美東沒有一個校友會,只因人數太少,當時只有我、蔣忠 國、王威勝以及洪鴻賓夫婦,一共五人,但洪夫人因要帶三個小孩,所以從未參加台科大 的聚餐活動,在2014 年6月台科大有位鄧同學來紐約實習,我們招待她,辦了一次餐會, 當時連眷屬也有一桌人參加,後來經人介紹,台科大又有四位加入,那是呂東奇、林曉 鳳、陳湧根、徐徹四位,人員已經有9、10位了,於是我召集大家於2014年9月6日相聚吃 飯,並正式成立美東地區台科大校友會,我這召集人也就順理成章成為首任會長,蔣忠國 任副會長,洪鴻賓任秘書長。校友每人繳交會費100元,並草擬章程,每年於四個節日辦 次聚餐,連絡感情,也就是端午節,中秋節 , 聖誕節及春節。一年四次,會長任期兩年。
之後,經校聯會董事長--王金智的推荐、邀請參加校聯會, 於是在2015年7月加入校聯會, 這一年陸續有曾碧聰、邱宜祥、陸玫玲、陳仁勛等人的加入,因為校友都各自忙於自己的 工作事業,我們除了辦自己的聚餐,也積極參加校聯會的活動比如7月份校聯會年會,雙 十節升旗典禮及華埠遊行,春節聯歡,2016年5月28日校聯會乒乓球比賽等。這期間也跟 母校有了互動,母校的唐甫菱秘書寄來了校旗及美東校友會會旗。有了會旗及校旗,使得 台科大在紐約的各種集會上得以展示出來。因為母校在國內及國際上的學術聲望與日俱 增,我們都以母校為榮,希望校友們彼此多聯繫,團結,有聚會時儘可能都參加,有機會 多與母校互動,如投稿母校的季刊,捐款母校的留學生夢想計劃,幫助母校的青年學子到 國外留學生活等!也深深期望美東校友會逐年成長,謝謝!
