2014届三镇华美协会高中毕业生颁奖典礼致辞
亲爱的三镇华人朋友们:
大家好！感谢大家今天来参加由三镇华人宣道会（TCCAC）、三镇中文学校（TCCLS）、三镇华美协会（TCCAA）共同举办的2014年三镇华人母亲节庆祝活动与高中毕业生奖学金的颁奖典礼。我是2014届三镇华美协会的负责人焦淑红，我宣布三镇华美协会2014年高中毕业生颁奖典礼现在开始。
当我们今天仍沉浸在美丽的哥伦比亚河畔，沉浸在科研成果带给我们的喜悦，沉浸在三镇幸福的家庭中，我们是否还记得或可否知道三十年前的三镇曾是沙漠荒芜的地带，我们是否还记得我们刚刚踏上美国或三镇这片土地时陌生与寂寞，我们是否还曾记得我们在这里追求梦想的旅程中曾经向我们伸出地温暖的手？所有发生在这片神奇土地上的改变，都是因为这里充满了爱。正是由于这份爱在三镇华人中间不断的流淌，我们才有了如此温馨的三镇华人社区！感谢在座的每一位朋友！
三镇华美协会高中毕业生奖学金就是大家对爱的诠释。一张轻飘飘的支票却浓缩了三镇华人自己追求梦想的历程，一张轻飘飘的支票却承载了三镇华人对下一代的殷切希望，一张轻飘飘的支票更是一份沉甸甸的爱！愿这份爱永远世代相传！
今年通过申请和评审，共有四位高中毕业生获得2014年TCCAA 奖学金，他们不仅学习成绩优良，而且热心公益活动，积极为社区服务。2014年TCCAA奖学金获得者名单如下：

TCCAA President’s Address at the 2014 Scholarship Awards Ceremony for High School Graduates
Dear friends,
Good morning. I appreciate your coming to 2014 Mother’s Day Celebration and Scholarship Awarding Ceremony for High School Graduates co-held by Tri-Cities Chinese Alliance Church (TCCAC), Tri-Cities Chinese Language School (TCCLS) and Tri-Cities Chinese American Association (TCCAA). I am in charge of TCCAA in 2014. Now I announce the 2014 Scholarship Awarding Ceremony is going to be started.
While now we are immersed in the beautiful riverside of Columbia River, while now we are immersed in the joyfulness of achievement in our scientific research, while we are immersed in the happy families in Tri-Cities, do you remember or do you know the Tri-Cities areas are the barren dissert thirty years ago? Do you remember the strangeness and loneliness when we first came in America or Tri-Cities? Do you remember the warm hands during the journey of pursuing our dreams here? All these changes occurred in the magical lands are the results of full of love here. Just because the love has been flowing among us, we could have the cozy Chinese Community. We are grateful to everyone in the Chinese Community!
The donation for the scholarship is our interpretation of love. The light check concentrates the course of pursuing our dreams by ourselves, and the light check carries the hopes of old generations, and the light check actually is the heavy love. Wish the love would be passed on forever!
This year there are four high school graduates to gain the scholarship through the application and evaluation. All of them not only study hard, but also have public spirit and enthusiasm to serve for the community! Congratulations to all four awarded graduates!
