9/24/23 Disability Resource Festival at Ardenwood Farm in Fremont

(中文譯文在後)     

The horn of an old train sounds as it departs Arden Station and arrives in Deer Park, located in Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont. It is a bright and sunny day, and hundreds of people have gathered to attend the 9/24 Disability Resource Festival. As booths finish setting up and attendees begin coming in, live music from the main stage lifts the energy up and prepares everyone for an eventful day. Among the thirty local community partners participating in the event, MHACC and its team can be seen in their bright green shirts. The booth is decorated with its usual golden poppies and Chinese paper lanterns, but this time a prize wheel, the newest addition to the booth, draws everyone in. With prizes like science kits, coloring books, stress balls, and candles to be won, attendees of all ages gather around for a spin. Meanwhile, those at the booth seeking information and resources have the opportunity to learn more about our support groups, the family-to-family education program, MiSunshine, UrSpace, and more. Before we knew it, we ran out of prizes, and the event was nearing its end. Thank you to the City of Fremont Human Relations Commission and Friends of Children with Special Needs for hosting this event and thank you to everyone who attended and stopped by the booth! 


一列舊火車從阿登車站出發,抵達位於弗里蒙特阿登伍德歷史農場的鹿園時,鳴響了喇叭。

這是一個陽光明媚的日子,數百人聚集在一起參加9/24殘疾人資源節。 當MHACC的攤位搭建完畢、與會者開始入場時,主舞台上的現場音樂振奮人心,讓每個人都為忙碌的一天做好準備。 在參加這項活動的 30 家當地社區合作夥伴中,可以看到 MHACC 及其團隊穿著亮綠色的襯衫。 展位上裝飾著慣常的金色罌粟花和中國紙燈籠,但這次展位上最新增加的獎品輪盤吸引了所有人,有科學套件、塗色書、壓力球和蠟燭等獎品可供贏取,各個年齡層的參與者聚集在一起旋轉著輪盤。 同時,在展位上尋求資訊的人們有機會了解更多關於我們的支持小組、家連家教育計劃、MiSunshine、UrSpace 等的資訊。 不知不覺中,我們的獎品已經用完了,活動也接近尾聲了。 感謝弗里蒙特市人際關係委員會和特殊需求兒童之友主辦本次活動,感謝所有出席並駐足展位的民眾。
