Dear all,
The Chinese Association of Southampton held a Christmas event on Wednesday 15/12/2021. Nearly 50 people participated in the event. The Committee and members of the association actively participated in various tasks to make it a success.
1) Thanks to the committee members, especially the Vice-Chair Ms. Vikkie Cheng, the Secretary Ms. Yammie Lam, the Vice-Secretary Ms. Puilan Yau, for their help in the preparative works and the programme.
2) Thanks to our chef volunteers Mr. Ting Yau and Mr. Jack Law, for cooking the Christmas lunch.
3) Thanks to our member volunteer Mrs. Eva Pearce for helping to cook the turkey and meat sauce.
4) Thanks to our committee member Mrs. Amy Cheung for donating Christmas gifts for the lucky draw.
5) Thanks to our member Mr. Chau Wong for donating £100 to support the Christmas event.
6) Thanks to our member Ms. Helen Chan for donating a large box of masks as Christmas gifts.
7) Thanks to our committee members and ordinary members for helping with the kitchen work, especially to Mr. Wah Fat Pang, Mr. Chi Keung Leung, Mrs. Amy Cheung, Ms. Yanni Xie.
8) Thanks to our photographer volunteers, especially Ms. Hongbin Kang and Ms. Helen Chan.
9) Thanks to Mr. Chi Keung Leung for being the Santa Claus.
10) Thanks to our teacher Mrs. Jean Romsey for leading the carol singing.
11) There are also many low-profile helpers, especially Mr. Billy Cheung who arrived early in the morning to help setting up the table.
On the day, we have carol singing, games, lucky draws, gift exchanges, artwork competition and most importantly: the communications amongst members. You can see from the photo album, the laughers that this Christmas event brought. The success of the event is attributed to the support of the members, the cooperation of the Committee and the selfless dedication of the volunteers. I hope that more volunteers will come forward to help organize similar activities on different dates in the future, for assisting more members and for bringing joy to each other.
The drop-in centre will be closed on 22/12 and 29/12. It will re-open on Wednesday 5/1/2022. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Successful New Year.
Michael Ng and the Committee
