General Report for July 2025

Congratulations to President Ge Yinglan for publishing her story, “My Life in Australia, My Second Home,” in the “Voice of China Newspaper” on July 17, 2025. It’s truly touching. President Ge Yinglan is a source of pride for our female friends. By organising cultural events, promoting charitable causes, and fostering multicultural integration, she has significantly increased community participation among middle-aged and elderly people. Her leadership and dedication have not only earned widespread acclaim for the association but also set a positive example for the Chinese communities in Australia. She consistently gives back to society through substantial actions and quietly contributing, presenting, and dedicating herself to the cause. We are honoured and blessed to have such an outstanding president.

July marks the beginning of a new year. Thank you for our joint efforts over the past year. Let’s move forward courageously in the new year. Providing a healthy and comfortable platform for middle-aged and elderly people is our mission. The open ballroom classes continue every Monday through Friday…

The Granville Ballroom has been growing in popularity recently. This is thanks to the dedicated efforts of President Ge, President Dou, several vice presidents, and the ballroom managers. Thanks to all the volunteers for their hard work…

The Auburn Town Hall ballroom and New Vogues Dance training class are currently undergoing further adjustments. We hope to achieve even greater success through this hard work…

Granville Town Hall’s renovations are completed. Teacher Wang Shu’s National Dance classes and dance parties have resumed as normal every Tuesday morning.
On the morning of July 29th, Teacher Wang Shu’s National Dance party held a ballroom dance gala at Granville Town Hall.
The dancers were dressed in their finest attire, exuding elegance and grace. Accompanied by classic melodies, the dance floor was filled with passion and romance, showcasing the infinite wonders of life. This is a microcosm of life for middle-aged and elderly people.
Thank you to President Dou for attending and the volunteers for your services.
A special thank you to Mr and Mrs Wang Shu for their active planning and the delicious food they provided. The event was a complete success. I hope we have more opportunities to hold events like this.

The Australian Russian – Chinese Friendship Association’s activity at the Cabramatta Community Centre each Tuesday consistently show great management, providing a high-quality platform for seniors. We celebrated the birthdays of the seniors for the month, and everyone at the centre enjoyed meticulous care. Thank you to all the volunteers for their hard work.

Liao Niya, Vice President is a model of respect for the elderly. His meticulous care for his mother, from combing her hair to celebrating her birthday, reveals his deepest kindness and beauty in these precious moments of family love. This quality is truly precious and worth learning from.

Let’s visit Granville Town Hall every Tuesday.

Downstairs in the conference room: The band and the Jacaranda Art Troupe are rehearsing. Led by group leader Shanshan, they all look focused. Their precise yet passionate singing is clear, harmonious, and consistent. Occasionally, a two-part voice can be heard. Although they have entered middle age, their voices remain youthful.

Upstairs the artistic team is rehearsing. Every student is very dedicated.

Dance Competition Progress: The first judges’ meeting for the “Multicultural Seniors Association Zai Su Fang Hua Dance Competition” was held at 1-3 William St. Lidcombe on the morning of July 12th. The meeting discussed specific details, promoted community culture, and emphasized the principle of participation. Through this activity, our artistic team’s level has improved further. Under the guidance of several judges, our work has been further refined. Preliminary planning and staffing for the dance competition has been completed.
The two Associations offer a variety of activities for middle-aged and elderly people, providing a great platform for promoting community culture. We wish our middle-aged and elderly friends a happy and fulfilling life every day. We will continue to work hard!
