About CAFAMThe Chinese & American Friendship Association of Maine (CAFAM) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that promotes friendship between Chinese Americans, non-Chinese Americans, and Chinese people of all nationalities. CAFAM was founded in 1988 by a small group of dedicated individuals who believed in the importance of promoting cultural exchanges, preserving Chinese culture, and holding annual celebrations and events. CAFAM provides forums and outreach to promote awareness of and appreciation for Chinese culture. We promote friendship between non-Chinese Americans, Chinese-Americans, and Chinese people, whether from the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, or elsewhere. We sponsor activities each year, including a Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival Celebration, a Lunar New Year Celebration, potlucks, film screenings, and other events. We also support the Maine Historical Society in building a Chinese in Maine archive, collaborate with other local organizations, and promote educational outreach. We invite anyone with an interest in China to become a member. 关于缅因州华美联谊会缅因州华美联谊会是一个非营利机构，我们致力于促进美国人民，美国华裔和来自中国大陆，港澳，台湾，东南亚以及其他世界各地华人之间的友谊,促进人们对中国文化的了解和认知并且帮助解答有关中国的疑问。 我们欢迎每个对中国感兴趣的朋友加入我们的联谊会，会员每年将收到５份新闻简报并享受其他便利。 我们目前已经拥有一百多名会员，隶属的中文学校对每一个希望他们的孩子接触中国文化的家庭开放。 我们每年将组织若干次活动包括中秋， 新年庆祝会，夏季聚餐会和其他活动。我们将为您提供有关信息，帮助建立与其他相关机构的联系， 促进文化和教育交流。 如果您希望能对我们有更多的了解， 请联系我们
