2009年10月是《印地华人周刊》(现名《印州华报》,曾用名《印地多维》)创刊五周年。经历了创业的艰辛,本报现在已经成为一个由专业人士组成、有丰富的在美国办报经验的机构。迄今为止,作为印地安那州独家中文报纸,本报已经将227期报纸免费发放到印地华人社区,平均每两家一份。
报纸是一个宣传机构也是一个服务机构。我们办报的宗旨是:来自印地,服务印地。五年来,我们从小到大,从弱到强,逐渐成为印地华人的信息中心。借此机会,我们向所有支持我们的组织和个人表示衷心的感谢!
本报受读者喜爱的栏目之一是由三所印地中文学校轮流主办的<学中文>。三所学校共有学生500人。每一期<学中文>集中报道其中一所,包括校方通知,老师和家长的文章,学生作文及<趣味阅读>和<儿童园地>等固定栏目。至今,本报刊载的三十六期<学中文>不仅促进了第二代的中文学习,也活跃了华人社区的业余生活。除此之外,本报去年还举办了首次作文比赛,今年又举办了首次儿童绘画比赛,每次活动均有众多学生踊跃参加。最近,我们还开办了<印地华商>和<印地文坛>专栏,以及英语版,介绍印地各商业组织,以加强华人社区对主流社会的了解。
在过去的五年里,本报不仅在印地立稳了脚跟,更重要的是开始帮助华人融入主流社会,扩大了华人社区对主流社会的影响。本报的本地新闻专栏报道华人社区的各种活动,包括同乡会聚餐、华人组织活动,春节联欢会,印地500英里汽车大赛游行和印城国际节。去年和今年,本报与印城各中国组织一起成功地协助了市长办公室举办印城首届和第二届中国节,并负责新闻宣传工作。另外,本报在2008年还协助印城艺术中心举办了首次中国画展(山东艺术学院作品)及2008年印城华人赈灾义演。无疑,本报已经成为印城华人社区生活中不可缺少的一部分。
九月二十六日,本报主办的《十月情思》大型庆祝活动在各华人组织的大力协助下获得圆满成功。本次演出集印地华人的节目之精华,显示了华人社区的团结和思念祖国的游子之情。《十月情思》也是本报在创刊五周年之际代表印地华人给祖国母亲献上的一份生日礼物。
我们工作的长期目标是成为华人社区和主流社会的一个信息中心和服务机构以促进中美文化交流和商业合作。例如,我们准备把本报从印城发行到全印地安那州。去年十月,本报正式成为非盈利组织,这将有利于我们达到这一目标。总之,作为印州唯一的中文报纸,我们有信心成为印州华人社区和主流社会的一架桥梁。
《亚美导报》创刊于2011年10月28日,秉承客观中立的办报方针,是一份不依附于任何团体和政党、不代表任何组织或集团的独立报纸。

Indiana Association of Chinese Americans, Inc(IACA). is a State registered not-for-profit organization established in 1973. IACA is not affiliated with any religious or political organization. The main goals and objectives of IACA are:
IACA was originally established in 1973 as Indianapolis Association of Chinese Americans, Inc. and in 1999, it was renamed to Indiana Association of Chinese Americans, Inc. to encompass a larger membership around the states. In the early ’70s, a group of local Chinese Americans met once a month for lunch to share their everyday experiences and to lead support for each other and their families. The popularity of this monthly luncheon continued to grow and the need for an organization to provide social activities and a variety of services was inevitable. In November 1973, the founding members filed the IACA constitution with the State. Officers for the following years were elected and IACA was born.
Through the years, most of the social activities provided to our membership were focused on the celebration of Chinese culture and traditions such as Chinese New Year and other festivals, in an attempt to keep alive our heritage and to pass them on to the next generation and beyond. Friends and other organizations have been invited to these gatherings to share and celebrate our cultural heritage and it has proven to be very successful.
IACA has participated in countless community cultural projects and educational outreach programs. IACA has long established its presence in the annual International Festival since 1976 and has won awards for its cultural displays. Our ‘Lion Dance’ team is well recognized in our cultural community. IACA has collaborated with the International Center of Indianapolis and other local professional organizations in co-sponsoring cultural exhibitions, concerts and recent performances from the Inner Mongolian Dance Troupe and the Beijing Orchestra. IACA participates in programs at the Children’s Museum, providing cultural materials, speakers to local schools and colleges. Through corporate sponsorship, scholarships were awarded to our qualified IACA youths from the annual Telamon High School Scholarship Program. IACA has also participated in the USA Bicentennial Anniversary celebration and in establishing a Sister City with Taipei, Taiwan, and a Sister State with Zhejiang Province, China.
IACA currently publishes a quarterly newsletter to communicate information and progresses to our members, an annual membership directory that serves as a tool for our members to exchange information and network. IACA has been working diligently and continuously fine-tuning its services and programs to meet the needs of our growing and changing community.
Sister Cities were created to promote peace through people-to-people relationships. They offer the flexibility to allow connections to form between communities that are mutually beneficial and take on issues that are most relevant to the partners.
Evolved from Columbus Chinese Association-Taiwan(CCA-Taiwan), a non-profit organization since 1990s, in 2000, a group of people from both Taiwan and China formed Columbus Chinese School(CCLS) which attracted broad community support. The board members of CCA–Taiwan then decided to change the name of the organization to Columbus Chinese Association(CCA) to support the CCLS as well as to include all overseas Chinese. This move gained great support from the Chinese community and glued the people and resources in a better way.
The mission of CCA is to offer and promote Chinese Language and Culture to the local community of Columbus, Indiana.

普渡大学中国学生学者联谊会(PUCSSA)是由普渡大学的中国学生学者自发组织、正式注册的一个非政治性、非盈利性团体,于1991年在普渡成立。联谊会作为一个在美中国学生学者的民间组织,积极秉承及弘扬爱祖国,爱人民的中华民族优良传统,为普渡中国学生学者提供服务,帮助华人群体更快更好的融入美国社会,以促进中美文化交流。我会现有会员千人以上,会员组成包括港澳台以及大陆两岸三地的学生学者。我会向普渡所有华人开放,只要承认联谊会章程,都可获准成为会员 (加入我们: www.pucssa.org/maillist ; Facebook group: PUCSSA)。 目前,PUCSSA是普渡大学里会员最多的非官方学生团体。同时也已成为普渡大学八百多个学生团体中服务与贡献最显著的其中一个。1997年11月,联谊会被普渡大学有关方面授予最佳学生团体奖。另据ISS报告指出,目前普渡也是全美大学中中国学生学者群体最多的一所学校。
我们做些什么?
联谊会为普渡的华人提供一个热爱中华的学者团体。有自己团体的存在,中国学者才有相互联系和帮助的机会,才有庆贺自己文化的场合。反之,有了活动和联系,才有团体存在。目前,普渡大学的中国人主要就是靠联谊会的电子网络和各种活动保持联系的。
自1991年成立以来,联谊会接待祖国来的新同学,欢庆中国传统节日及国庆,组织应时应节的聚会和文体活动,提供网络联系、信息服务和介绍保险,为 同学争取团体优惠,保护会员权益,并且协助同学在新生登记、护照延期、婚姻手续以至突发事故与领事馆联系。联谊会下属多个球队、卡拉OK俱乐部、DV俱乐 部、舞蹈协会、乐队,还是气功、武术等全校性俱乐部的主要支持者。联谊会积极促进中美文化交流,参与本地多元文化活动(食品节,全球文化节,国际学生节 等),弘扬中国文化,协助中国文化团体访问和学术交流。PUCSSA已成为普渡大学八百多个学生团体中服务与贡献最显著的其中一个。1997年11月,联 谊会被普渡大学有关方面授予最佳学生团体奖。
联谊会是如何运行的?
每个留学生都有紧张的学业和对前途的紧凑计划。但是,每年都需要,也有,部份同学站出来担任联谊会执委会和各个部门干事,义务为大家服务。他们对华人社区的贡献带动起更多同学,组织起大家需要的活动。可以说,普渡联谊会是由每年轮换的一群义务服务者运行着的。 (PUCSSA志愿者注册Email: pucssavolunteer@gmail.com)
虽然这群义务服务者的出现主要是靠志愿而不是纯粹由选举产生,大家的投票却能成为一种信任和监督。每年,经大家提名或自我推荐下一届执委会干事候选 人,由当届执委会与候选人集体商量组阁方案,并交全体会员投票产生,任期一年。主席不能连任。部门干事由执委会确定。执委会不是行政,他们靠自己的服务、 动员和协调来组织起各部门干事和广大会员。执委会内实行决策民主,各有分工,主席协调。联谊会的工作量和活动内容完全取决于该届参与同学的多少、他们的决 策以及他们的时间和精力。
基于自发性和非盈利性质,联谊会需要筹集和接受各方面的赞助、捐款来维持必要的活动开支。任何赞助和捐款都不以影响联谊会的独立性为条件。根据经 费,联谊会可以决定当年是否收取某些费用。根据普渡大学学生团体规章,联谊会经批准可以在校园里作非盈利性经营,如销售、收取门票等。其收支须经学校财务,用于团体活动。
PUCSSA is the largest and most active student organization on Purdue campus. PUCSSA received a Presidential Excellence Award in 1997 and Motor Board Award in 2000, selected from 850 student organizations at Purdue, by the Purdue Student Government.
Believe it or not, PUCSSA is run by volunteers. Each year, a group of students voluntarily work for the Chinese community and Purdue community. They contribute their spare time and even their own money and facilities. Through these volunteers (mostly, current PUCSSA officers and activists), more Chinese students get involved in the services and self-services. Those activities listed above are all done by volunteers.

印城华人基督教会,(Chinese community church), 116th and Keystone in Carmel.
1968年間,一群基督徒在神的引導下,於印城開始查經班的工作。最先,他們使用North Minister Presbyterian教堂聚會並且於1973年11月定名為「印城華人教會」;在1974年秋改借Meridian Street Methodist教堂聚會,最後在1982年買下座落在56街和Broadway交接口的一所教堂,從此才正式擁有屬於自己的聚會場所。近年來由於人數的增長和使用空間的不足,於1999年6月神恩待我們,使教會得以搬遷並買下現址。
教會會務共分為行政部、財務部、教育部、崇拜部、團契部、宣教部和關懷部。教會每年甄選執事和同工分別負責各部門事工,並帶領會內弟兄姐妹同心事奉主。
