I am a MA candidate in University of Alberta majoring in Communication and Technology, and the volunteer secretary of a new-born not-for-profit organization: Edmonton Mandarin Immigrants Society (EMIS). I am writing on behalf of this society to invite you to come to a party on September 17,19:30, at Royal Alberta Museum. . X4 A8 I e! t9 s% c6 E) A

For Chinese people, mid-autumn Festival is a traditional festival for family members to come home and gather together; for Chinese immigrants here, Edmonton Alberta is our second home, we gather together to celebrate the Alberta Centennial, to wish our two homes the best, and to enlighten the life of each and every new immigrant, wish everyone a smooth resettlement and happy life.4 @* }2 d7 a" J- L+ t2 G$ w* J6 n
About Edmonton Mandarin Immigrants Society (EMIS) and its contribution
- X: ?. Q7 _! x6 c9 q% j7 c- zEdmonton Mandarin Immigrants Society (EMIS) is an organization founded early this year, it originated from an online community at http://www.edmontonchina.com. The website was founded May 2004 by Fan Yang, also a new immigrant from Mainland China. Yang registered this website because before he landed in Edmonton, he could not find any information about life and work in Edmonton in the language of Chinese. Ever since the first day of this web site, it has acted as a liaison between people who wants to come to Edmonton and those who are already here. It helps Chinese immigrants with their first settlement steps to the most. People here care for each other, they provide useful information, they posted their own experiences on the life and work search and everything you can name. Until today, there are already 4921 registered members.

Each time, the organizers buy entrance ticket just like other people, the objective is to offer an opportunity for the Chinese immigrants and students from China to gather together, to help each other and entertain each other.

- ?& P& ?6 C* j7 h8 dTo some extend, it acts as an unofficial Cultural Ambassador, it has assisted the government with immigrants settlement program. People who have gone through the early days know what new people need to be prepared for. Oh, there are so many moving stories and vivid individuals in this community. Being a new immigrant myself, I have enjoyed so much from this community and I wish I could tell you and my fellow Albertans.
