【本報記者湯洋紐約報導】台北中山女中紐約區校友會19日前往艾姆赫斯特(Elmhurst)老年護理中心(Elmhurst Care Center)送去新年慰問,並表演了多個中國傳統舞蹈節目,贏得耆老們的陣陣掌聲。
校友會會長郭曼麗是這次活動的主要發起人,她首先表演了中國傳統的扇舞,並帶領耆老們一起活動,接著她還表演了由「木蘭從軍」改編的三段舞蹈。最後,郭曼麗邀請護理中心的工作人員跟她學打中國傳統武術中的太極,耆老們都露出了高興的笑容。
護理中心治療部的負責人斯科(Rita Ciccone)表示,校友會曾在2005年春節就來中心為耆老演出,因此,這次特地再請郭曼麗來表演。她認為,這樣的活動非常有意義,能夠讓住在一起,但來自不同背景的耆老增加更多的了解,尊重彼此的文化。

耆老歡聚度國慶 法拉盛弗蘭克林保健中心(Franklin Day Care Senior Center) 的老人們跳「肚皮」紅綢舞,歡度國慶。
  中心主任羅沛珊說,很多華裔老人的兒女遠在外州或國內工作,為了不讓老人孤獨過節,邀來中心歡聚,並為老人編排有益健康的「肚皮」紅綢舞,還特邀原勞工廳亞裔事務執行長郭曼麗作義工,帶老人一起遊戲。
86歲的羅大媽說,膝下4個兒女都在外州,老伴已過世。以前常去的法拉盛電影院已被拆除,只好看電視讀報紙打發每日。不過,昨日能與大家節日同歡,參加有趣的活動,心裏很快活。  在場的州眾議員孟廣瑞的父母說,兒子和孫女都很忙,不能一起過節,這對來自山東的老倆口,將用包餃子的傳統方式慶祝獨立日。
