>From time immemorial the bright, round moon at mid-autumn has given
wings to the imagination of poets and philosophers alike.  We hope the
beholding of her this year will bring you comfort, peace and good will.

Our best wishes to all of you who are enjoying the conviviality of
family reunion and those of you who are looking forward to that joyful
day.

May you all have a soft, sweet and serene dream at mid-autumn.

>From all of us at
IFCSS Headquarters

               'The moon light is pouring down on my bedside
                like white frost spreading on the ground
                I look up the brihgt round moon in the sky
                and lower my head thinking of my dear hometown'
