We would like to thank Eastern Bank for its kind event sponsorship and its continued support of CCC. The goal of the event was to highlight the future vision for the river and engage the Asian community in enjoying the many opportunities to interact with the river and its surrounding environment. Attendees were asked to weighin on the vision for the future of the river and to experience the Malden River as it is today. “I have lived in Lexington for over 25 years and this is the first time I have heard about the Malden River. It’s wonderful,” said one attendee. More than 200 attendees had the opportunity to participate in tai chi, face painting, arts & crafts, tug-o-war and many water balloon battles. FoMR’s very own Karen Buck had a crowd buzzing around her table throughout the event. Dan Koff of MAPC provided great descriptions of the vision to the captivated crowd. Linda Zalk of Malden Reads read children’s books to the young and young at heart. By the end of the evening, everyone was well fed, happy and excited about the vision for the Malden River. The East Meets West Cultural Dialogue series is designed for Asian immigrants and others to better understand American culture while retaining their own cultural heritage. The result is a strong foundation for parents to support their American-born family members in a culturally appropriate manner as they strive to accomplish their own American dreams. This project is supported, in part, by the generosity of the Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation.
