Taiwanese American, Dominican American, and Honduras American, Guatemalan American will show their cultures through songs, dance, films, and delicacies.

Taiwanese started to migrate to New York City in 1955. Majority of the immigrants at the early stage of migration were college graduates. They came here through scholarship program. Besides study, they took care of each other. That led them to have East Coast Formosan Club on West 97 Street in Manhattan as a gathering place and a temporary living quarter for newly arrived students. Since United States immigration law had changed in 1970s, Taiwanese other than students have arrived in New York City to find a better life and free society. Through hard working, saving, and innovation, many Taiwanese have thrived to the top as the presidents of cooperation, bankers, and politicians.

TAANY offers numerous cultural programs. Passport to Taiwan program on the third Sunday of May in Union Square Park North attracts nearly 8,000 people. It offers Taiwanese performance art, art & craft, exhibition, and delicacies. International Cultural Parade and Lunar New Year Parade demonstrate our costumes and parade performance. We sponsor concerts several times a year to showcase Taiwanese American and Taiwanese musical talents.

Taiwan is a nation of multi-cultures, adopted cultures of Polynesian, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. In our program we are collaborating with Friends of Taiwan, Dominican Republic, Honduras and Guatemala. We shall share Taiwanese American Heritage with them and learn their cultures as well.

2006-09-12 UN for Taiwan Rally

Taiwanese American Community of Greater New York will be staging a rally for Taiwan UN membership near the United Nations building on September 12th(Tuesday). Please join us to voice our support for Taiwan and call for international justice because excluding Taiwan out of the UN is simply unfair and unequal.

This year, we are joined by a group of 60 people from "Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT)". Taiwanese New Yorkers should all show our support for Taiwan since we are just few subway stops away.

On Tuesday, the rally will start 11PM at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, then after a brief rest, we'll then march to the China UN mission. Take a day off for Taiwan, because it is the right thing to do!!

Sincerely,
Committee for Admission of Taiwan to the UNA task force of Taiwanese American Council of Greater NY
