Taiwanese American Conferance / East Coast ( TAC / EC ) 1 of 3

The TAC / EC Summer camp this year is the 50th anniversary. The first generation like us are gradually passing down the mission to our second generation. We were so pleased to see more and more younger people- Taiwanese American Next Generation (TANG) and their kids joined the TAC Summer camp, including my four grandchildren (they were first time campers). Together, we had 700 people gathering at West Chester University PA from 7/4 to 7/7/2019. Also, to celebrate Independence Day at the same time.

The theme of this year is "Taiwan is in my DNA."  In a way,  this helped the Taiwanese American community to recognize the concept of our identity. Where we originally came from.

Talking about Taiwanese DNA, the below diagrams illustrated 3 original animals, Formosan Blue Magpie, Leopard Cat, Formosan black bear and one plant, Formosan Moth Orchid, these are animals and plants exclusively found in Taiwan, or called, Formosa Island.(臺灣原生種)
