During the past two years, online events became how OACA continued to promote and preserve Chinese culture under COVID:

1.  Chinese school started on-line classes

2.  Halloween parties were held on-line

3.  Oly School was started with weekly courses:

a.  Vinyasa Flow Yoga  温和流瑜伽

b.  Dance in the Cloud 云中舞蹈

c.  Evergreen Health Exercise 常青健身操

d.  Happy Aerobic 快乐有氧操

e.  Gourmet Kitchen 傲厨美食

f.  Knowledge Class 知性课堂

We are proud to note that all classes were offered by volunteers.  We are dazzled by their talents and are grateful for their devotion and contribution.

4.  Association supported the “Stop Asian Crime” movement by directing members to various training courses that help defend against hate crime.

5.  Two New Year Gala were held online.  The pinnacle event was the greeting from Governor Inslee, Olympia Mayor Selby, Lacey Mayor Ryder, and Yelm Mayor Depinto.  A short video can be found here.  This is the first time in OACA’s history, where we received such broad attention from the State and local leaders.  We marked our presence!


During the epidemic, unfortunately, hatred against Asians was widespread.  In response to targeted racial attacks, President Mingta Lin accepted an exclusive interview with a local TV station and solemnly expressed the concern of the Chinese community about racial hate crimes. He also called on citizens to stand up against this kind of behavior that destroys the community.  At the same time, the Chinese Association also wrote to the Governor, as well as the mayors of Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, and Tacoma, expressing the concerns of the Chinese community on this matter, he pressed governments at all levels to propose effective measures to protect the Chinese community. This move has received positive and sincere responses from the government leaders.  In addition, the city manager and the police chief of the City of Lacey held a meeting with OACA board members to reach a consensus and fight against racial hate crimes together.

As the COVID restrictions are being lifted.  Asian hatred quickly went into dormancy.  We would like to remind and to call on all members to continue supporting the association as we meet new challenges and reach new heights in the future.

Olympia is our home, together we grow!

在过去的两年里,OACA 在 COVID 疫情下,用在线活动的方式,持续推广和保护中华文化:

1.中文学校开网上课

2.万圣节派对在线上举办

3.奥村学堂提供了每周课程:

a.  温和流瑜伽

b.  云中舞蹈

c.  常青健身操

我们很自豪,因为这些课程都是由志愿者提供的。她/他们才华横溢,热心助人,提供了高质量的课程给会员们,我们在此感谢他们的奉献和贡献。 

5. 协会转发各种培训课程,帮助会员学习自卫之道,抵御种族仇恨犯罪。

6. 举办了两场线上新年联欢晚会。最值得提的是来自华州州长 Inslee、奥林匹亚市长 Selby、莱西市长 Ryder、耶姆市长 Depinto的问候。(请见短视屏)。这是 OACA 史上第一次受到州政府及地方领导人如此广泛的关注。他们注意到了我们!


疫情期间,很不幸的,全美弥漫着一股仇恨亚洲人的情绪,因应这种针对性的负面种族情绪,会长林铭达接受本地电视台专访,严正表示华人社区对于种族仇恨犯罪的关切,并呼吁市民勇于站出来反对这种破坏社区的行为。同时,华人协会也致函州长,以及Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, 以及Tacoma市长,以书面表达华人社区对此事的关切与忧虑,并要求各级政府提出保护华人社区的有效措施。此举,得到这些政府领导人正面而恳切的回应,Lacey市并安排了市府经理和警察局长与协会理事座谈,达成共识,一起打击种族仇恨犯罪。

随着 COVID 限制的解除,仇恨亚裔的恶行潜入地下,我们在此提醒并呼吁所有成员继续支持协会,让我们一起迎接新的挑战,再创新高!
