Guests who received the Special Contribution Award. After years of hard work and inheritance, the Arizona Double Ten National Day Preparatory Conference has not only won praise from the Chinese overseas community, but also gained deep recognition and participation from the mainstream of the United States. The sowing and cultivation are now bearing fruit, and it can even be said to be a harvest. Robert Graham, chairman of the Republican Party of Alberta, took the stage to deliver a speech, recounting his many pleasant experiences of cooperation with Taiwan and hoping that Arizona and Taiwan could continue their efforts to achieve more economic and political exchanges. This year's "Double Ten" banquet has rich draws and exciting performances. The Senior Citizens Association brought wonderful operas, singing and fashion shows. The most distinctive one was the hula hoop performance by the American Indians. Food, prizes and performances all received bursts of applause. The Double Ten event came to an end with the song "Plum Blossom". We look forward to seeing you again at the 105th Double Ten event.
