CTFC Accomplishments in Past Two Years
(2017 -2018)
Since the Cupertino-Taichung Friendship Cities (CTFC)
Committee was established in November 2016, our
committee members and volunteers of CTFC have made the
following key accomplishments:
o In Feb 2017, the elected CTFC president Catherine Lee, and board
members visited the Cupertino Mayor Savita office, discussed on how
to make the Friendship City work better and asked for support in
future plans that would be beneficia; to the two cities.
o In March 2017, a de~egation of eight committee members of CTFC,
accompanied by formal Cupertino City Mayor Hu visited Taichung City
Mayor Lin, we presented CTFC year's working plan and introduced the
Cupertino City to his staff. At the end of the meeting, Mayor Lin
gracefully accepted the invitation to visit Cupertino in August.
o Establish the official connection between two cities governments: In
August 2017, with the help from CTFC, the Taichung Mayor Lin and the
delegation of 6 city officers made an official visit to the Cupertino
government. They met with Cupertino Mayor Savita and council
members in discussing on how to cooperate in the culture, business,
education and technology exchanges. Later in the year, Council
member Chang and his staff returned the visit to Taichung.
o Each of last two years, the Taichung Government sent a group of
young artists to perform in the Kids N'Fun Festival. Prior to each
event, the CTFC committee members and volunteers made a visit to
Taichung and met with the City government officers to select a
performing group, allocate the fund, and prepare logistics for their
visit.
o Video conference between high students from Cupertino and
Taichung City -in October 2017, 12 students from Cupertino High and
Lynbrook High met at Quinlan Center to have a video conference with
the 15 students from Taichung Dali High school. The students talked
about their daily activities in their school, lives in their cities and fun
things to do. The students had learned a lot.
o Student exchange -This is a important program focused by CTFC
education sub-committee. They visited the Cupertino Educational
Board to find out the detailed requirements of an exchange program.
Meet with Wei Hung, a Cupertino School District Committee Member to
outline the step by step process for the student exchange program.
Selected Dali High School in Taichung to be the School. The program
is ready to go if the Friendship City Agreement is extended.
o We help to arrange the Little Horse baseball team from Taichung to
play with a few the base ball teams from the South Bay with great
success. They had a lot of fun.
o September 2018, in order promote the use of green energy for future
government construction projects and Flora International Exhibition,
the Taichung City Mayor proclaimed a so called "Taichung
Declaration" which detailed on how to best utilize the green energy.
Mayor Darcy Paul gracefully accepted as the co-signer and sign on the
declaration after we made a visit to his office.
