主题：CSSA 09-10 一年总结 — 感谢
亲爱的朋友们,
大家好!
一年很快地过去了,CSSA 09 -10将在今天结束一年的任期.在此非常感谢大家在过去的一年里对CSSA支持与帮助！
以下,我将对照我们一年多前竞选时提出的计划对我们过去一年的工作做一个简单的总结回顾. 同时借此机会向CSSA 09 -10全体Council成员们，以及所有关心、支持我们工作的朋友们表示由衷的感谢!
2009年5月, 由Fang Chao, Peng Songming负责，我们成功举办了本届CSSA的第一次活动–毕业生欢送会.
很快我们有了由Sun Miao设计的CSSA自己的Logo, 有了由Peng Songming牵头制做的社团T-shirt以及旗帜.Wang Han, Yang Zhe, Pan Bindu, Zhao Shuang等同学协力建立了CSSA崭新的官方网站Cornellcssa.com．在校友Huan Chunlei学长,以及Zhao Yu, Chen Jie等同学的帮助下,我们有了自己的bbs,以及由此衍生的由Huang Lu主要负责编辑的康缘电子周刊.
2009年暑假,由Steven Tin, Yan Xi为大家精心组织了一系列暑期活动,包括Robert Treman State Park Hiking, Helen Newman Bowling, Grisamore Farm Cherry Picking, Cayuga Lake Kayaking.以及由Huang Wenjing, Xing Ying组织的双升大赛,诞生了康大的牌神牌圣.
同时,从5月初,由Lu Yuerui主要负责的完全免费的新生接机正式开始.我们重新编写和完善了原有的新生手册,并装订成一本21页的小册子作为送给新生们的礼物。此外Fang Chao, Peng Songming分别在Ithaca和国内为CSSA拉到了赞助,并与Ithaca本地十几家商家合作推出了CSSA折扣卡.使免费的接机服务成为了可能.在Lu Yuerui, Zhao Yu, Peng Songming, Fang Chao等等五十多位志愿者的无私奉献下,我们完成了共计160位新生的接机任务.
2009年8月迎新晚会在Sun Miao, Chen Jie, Wang Mengqiao等同学的策划下顺利举行.紧接着便是由Xie Yang负责并与Sun Yao一起担任主持的康大超女快男校园歌唱大赛,比赛的精彩激烈给大家带来了无数的惊喜.
2009年10月在Fang Chao的总策划下,我们异常成功地与CSA, MCSA，HKSA一起举办了中秋晚会暨卡拉OK大赛决赛.场地的局限让我们非常抱歉地不能让所有想看晚会的同学如愿,但中秋晚会的成功为我们之后举办春晚积累了非常宝贵的经验.
学期中，穿插着由Xie Yi为大家挑选放映的Chinese Movie Night；Yang Yi, Fang Chao, Li Haoyuan等同学联系的各类讲座；以及Wu Xiaoping, Yang Yi, Liu Shiliang, Zheng Xianfeng, Li Jiahe, Wu Xiaoyi, Qinghui Ai等老师同学们一起举办的Chinese Tea Hour.本学期初的三国杀之夜，与MCSA一起合办的迎冬奥滑冰，以及最后作为谢幕活动的春季踏青活动。
2010年2月最让人印象深刻的是由Peng Songming任总导演的康大春晚，以及春晚上Peng Songming, Zhu Haolin, Wang Mengqiao, Fang Chao, Wang Weiwei, Sun Yao, Ji Pengsheng, Chen Jie, Xing Ying, Yu Qilu, Shen Ai等同学历经几个月的编写彩排完成的康大学生情景剧《成长的烦恼》。在全体成员的共同努力下，晚会取得了空前的成功。
在Fang Chao, Peng Songming, Tang Yinan, Shen Ai等同学的努力下，在过去的一年里我们从学校申请到了$3109，校外赞助$7486, 在没有动用任何以往留下的固定活动经费的情况下，一年盈余$2536, 为下一届CSSA新生接机、举办活动创造了条件.感谢我们的treasurer — Li Hao认真尽责的工作。
每每举办活动，我们都有Lai Jun在现场拍照,帮忙；有Li Minxing, Yu Qilu, Yang Dong, Xue Lin, Xie Yang, Yang Zichao, Sun Yao, Zhang Simin, Fang Ruogu, Yan Sijia, Mary Wang, Wang Yufei, Li Huang, Li Ang等等等等同学们在现场尽己所能地协助。真得非常非常感谢全体Council成员们。是你们无私地付出让我们当初的设想一个一个地实现，使CSSA 09-10在本月获得了Cornell University Student Activities Office的09-10学年度Outstanding Activist Award提名.谢谢你们!
我们也有一些没有实现的计划和设想。比如因为Ithaca地处偏远，虽然我们努力地联系了多家旅游公司，但还是没能实现组织大家去较远的城市旅游的设想。也因为人数不足够多的关系，虽然我们联系了中国驻纽约大使馆，但被拒绝了请相关人员来Cornell为大家更新护照的请求。类似这些不足还望大家见谅。
最后，相信CSSA 10-11会在Yu Qilu 与Yang Dong带领下，在所有朋友的齐力支持下，为大家带来更多的精彩！谢谢大家！
此致
敬礼！

主题：个人报税讲座 individual tax return seminar @ 2pm Feb.20, Th 203
一年一度的报税季节已经来了。美国是一个高收入高税收的国家, 家庭“税”的管理极其重要。政府提供了许多有税上好处的政策, 但不同的人可以享受的税的优惠也不同。目前的优惠政策大多有一定的有效期。潜在的税的问题不可忽视。税法是美国最繁杂的法律之一，尤其很多中国过来的留学生更是对每年的1040表更是知之甚少。常见问题有：
What’s Filing Status for individual tax?
What’s AGI and Taxable Income?
What’s Marginal tax rate and Effective tax rate?
What’s Social Security tax, Medicare tax and Self-employment tax?
What’s Schedule A, B, C, D?
What’s Capital Gain and Dividends tax?
What’s Estate and Gift tax?
What’s AMT?
F1, J1, OPT, H1B, FICA taxes?
你想知道怎么去file1040（NR）表，你想知道今年税法有什么新的改变，你想知道今年政府给了多少credit，你想知道F，J，Q，M签证，CPT，OPT，H1B牵涉的税务问题吗？你想知道F1学生能否拿回所有的联邦税以及对申请绿卡的影响？填错的税表怎样去修正？所有这些问题都会由专家给你解答。这个讲座在全美各州举办过多场，得到大家的普遍好评
主讲人简历:
受聘于美国前10 名的几个金融公司。是美国证券商协会注册金融财务顾问，并持有多州的证券业和保险业证书。至今已经有千百个家庭受益于该讲座。特别是在过去经济不景气的时期，讲员以其深厚的知识和丰富的经验为每一个得到服务的家庭提供了满意的咨询。该讲座一向以内容充实，气氛活跃著称。相信每个人都会喜欢这次讲座并从中受益。
