1. VOTE NO on SCA-5 反對SCA-5 提案
加州州議會正在審議的SCA-5法案正牽動每一位亞裔家長的心。該法案將為通過投票改變1998年Prop.209確立的關於加州公立高等教育機構 （UC和Cal-State）不得以種族等因素作為招生考量因素的法律。該提案已經在1月30日在州參議院通過，現已提交州眾議院討論。如果通過，亞裔學生入學加大和州大的難度將更大。這一法案的命運值得每位亞裔人士關注。
這個法案仍需要經過一定的立法程序才能完成。您可以通過多種管道來熟悉這個提案，也可以通過多種方式來表達您的立場和態度。我們將持續更新相關信息。
2. 為落實服務南加各地區僑民，駐洛杉磯台北經濟文化辦事處將於3月22日至聖地牙哥提供領務收件服務，地點在「聖地牙哥華人服務中心」（5075 Ruffin Road, Suite A, San Diego, California,92123）欲申辦護照、文件驗證及簽證之僑胞可多加利用。另因場地時間及人力限制，現場將發放100個號碼牌（授權書類50位申請人，護照及簽證類50位申請人），依號碼順序收件，號碼牌發完後恕不再受理；所有申請文件將攜回本處製作完成後再郵寄回申請人。相關資訊可於上班時間電洽213-389-1215 或本處網頁查詢。
