Report:
Hi all, just want to let you know we had a wonderful picnic the past Saturday.
Thanks everyone who came and had fun! We had 80+ CNetwork and SVWomen members and friends. The weather was wonderful too.
The picnic started with many main dishes and 3-4 difference rice/noddle dishes. People sat and stood around, chatted with old and new friends. Some also played riddles games and won prizes.
After lunch people spreaded out, some still try to solve the remaining riddles. Some set up the volleyball net and started the game. Some went to shoot basketballs. Some sat around under trees and chat away. Some played the favourite poker games. There were also freesbies, kites and other sports going on.
That was yet another relaxing and successful picnic event hosted by CNetwork and SVWomen. Let’s thank all the volunteers, SVWomen and Cnetwork committee members who made it happen! See you all next time!

REPORT: 主持硅谷女性美容讲座的Ruby 虽年逾半百仍皮肤白皙，皱纹不显且身材窈窕。Ruby 的美容秘诀在于用厨房具备的纯天然材料 及长年累月的坚持不懈。她的美容秘诀现简介如下，当然纸上谈兵远不如现身说法。
- 一， 磨砂 Facial Scrub：去角质
- 砂糖+ 橄榄油敷面，轻轻按摩，眼眶及嘴唇部位避开，时间不要太长。可洗澡时涂身上按摩。
- 二，面膜 Beauty mask：防皱，润滑营养肌肤
- 橄榄油+ 少于10 滴柠檬汁 + 半勺蜂蜜+ 蛋黄 (中干性皮肤) / 蛋白(油性皮肤)
- 搅拌匀后敷面10-15 分钟，眼眶及唇上部位不涂，不说话无表情，宜晚上安静时，
看电视或泡澡时做，一周一次。可泡澡时涂身上，泡澡水不超过心脏，不多余20分钟。 - 做面膜时身体坐直，两臂伸开，转手，反转，防手臂肌肉松弛；往上抚摸脖子皮肤防皱纹。
- 三，收缩水/平衡水Toner ：杀菌，收缩毛孔，使皮肤细腻。
- 四，乳液 Lotion：营养及补水；年纪大了用晚霜Cream。
- 面部涂液后按摩，1-6 额上划圈，额中往上，眼眶一来一去，脸颊往外，唇划圈上鼻子刮下。
勿重抹乳液，不利吸收，宁愿洗干脸，重来一次。 - 五，粉底液 Foundation：(五，六属于化妆，年龄越晚用越好，或只在特殊场合用)
- 六，蜜粉 Powder：拍上面部，而非抹上。
- 太阳是美白的天敌，开车时戴上帽子及袖套遮阳。防晒霜有油腻感且易使人长痘。
- 生孩子或更年期后皮肤上的色斑可多喝薏米粥来美白 (但怀孕中喝薏米粥易堕胎)。
- 压力使人长痘，不喝可乐，咖啡，少吃辣子；为防止眼袋出现，睡前不喝水。
- 洗发时先把护发素放手掌中揉稀后从头侧面往头顶揉擦，冲洗后再用洗发液如法揉搓，这样头顶不至受刺激太大。
- 走路时抬头收腹挺胸，睡觉不用枕头或用矮枕头，可使身姿挺拔，有舞者风范。
- Ruby早上喝一瓶水 (或部分果汁)， 爱喝鸡汤，晚饭前吃一个水果，晚饭后刷牙和舌苔后便不想再多吃，所以不长赘肉。她平时爱跳舞，每天出汗泡澡，长年坚持她的美容多部曲。在她的言传身教下，连一岁的孙女都学会了抬起手来挡太阳。
- 听了讲座后，我现学现用，出远门玩时也戴上了大草帽和袖套开车，很管用。不知大夥儿有何心得，和我们一起分享吧。
九月十三日 硅谷女性的中秋舞会及夜游赏月活动
初闻征雁已无蝉，百尺楼高水接天。青女素娥俱耐冷，月中霜里斗婵娟。
“相传远古时，大地有十个太阳，当时个太阳一起升空，烤焦了所有庄稼草木，人们生活非常困苦。玉帝特别派后羿下凡救助百姓，后羿用弓箭射下九个太阳，还除掉大地上的毒蛇猛兽，人们才得安居乐业。 不料，被射落九个的太阳皆是天帝之子，天帝便十分恼怒地将后羿和妻子嫦娥贬入凡间。西王母很同情羿的遭遇，就把长生不老药送给他，但嫦娥起了私心，一个人偷偷吞服，身体竟轻飘上天。然而，嫦娥怕到天庭会受到众仙取笑，只好奔往月亮，成了广寒宫主－－月神娘娘。嫦娥奔月的当天，据说就是八月十五日，于是后人便在每年的八月十五日祭月。”
听完故事，你是不是很想翩翩起舞一番？那么，请来参加硅谷女性的中秋舞会及夜游赏月活动。
九月十三日那天，请先来晚八点开始的位于FREMONT明星大舞厅的舞会尽情劲舞，在夜间月正明星正亮的十一时半，再从明星的PARKING LOT CARPOOL去MISSION PEAK，我们会把车子停在半山的路边，去夜游赏月。想参加赏月活动的请带好暖和的衣物，可以走路的鞋子和手电筒类可照明之物。有兴趣的更可以准备中秋诗歌，在明月清风下朗诵一番，那该多美妙？
