2011 Spring Summer IssueUnited We Stand

The darkest MFG you have ever been...

Dialogue in the DarkI am so glad to be the chairman of VJC May Monthly Fellowship Gathering - Dialogue in the Dark. This is my first time to organize event for VJC as a Chairman and very fortunate that it is "FULL HOUSE".

The main reason I am glad to be the chairman of this event because it is a meaningful event that could assist the Dialogue in the Dark to promote their mission:

1. To bridge the gap between disabled groups and the rest of society.2. To create jobs for the visually impaired.3. To raise awareness and tolerance in society towards disadvantaged groups.

I believe all our participants including have already raised awareness to the disabled groups and will help they whenever possible. In the 75 minutes in the dark, we realized the fear of living without eyes; we experienced the inconvenience; and the world with no light and color.

This is not the worst, the worst is being discriminated. Try to put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself what do you need, if you were one of them. Love!!

Wayne HungProject Chairman

Connie Woo2011 President

This year marks a new beginning for our chapter as we stepped into the 61st year.

Starting something new is always difficult, especially when we have 60 year of history behind. However, as Victorians, we are not afraid of challenges. We are here to create, to learn, to develop, to lead and to push our chapter to a new heights.

As such, for the past couple of months, we have implemented many new ideas and activities for our chapter. Amazingly, with the help of the board members and our beloved VJC members, we have experience a very high participation rate for all the events we hosted so far.

Most of all, in good times and in bad times, we enjoy and treasure the time we spent together as a family. United We Stand, let’s carry on!!!

2011 Spring Summer Issue

May is always a special month for me. It is a month of carnation, a month of compassion, a month of celebrating the greatest love of our beloved mother. May is a special month for Victorians too. It is my great pleasure to be the National Assigned Executive Officer of Victoria Junior Chamber, which is the most senior chapter among the 19 chapters affiliated to Junior Chamber International Hong Kong. In such a special occasion, I have witnessed and celebrated the 61st birthday with our joyful Victorians. Victorians always give us the impression of being energetic, innovative, creative and friendly. Having the longest history in Hong Kong, Victoria Junior Chamber has nurtured and cultivated a lot of outstanding leaders in our society.

Through organzing her flagship community development project “Grandparents’ Day” since 1990, it has aroused public awareness of family harmony and the importance of showing care and respect to the elderly. In the past few years, this project has reinforced closer relationship among the three generations from grandparents to grandchildren. Lastly, I wish Victoria Junior Chamber a happy 61st birthday and every success in the coming projects.

A Great Start for VJC 2011

2011 VJC Inaurguration Ceremony has been successfully held on 25-Jan-2011. We have got full house support from our members and guests to witness this remarkable moment. We are also honor to invite Dr. Hon. Samson Tam Wai Ho, JP be our Guest of Honor for the ceremony. His speech has inspired us to think about the development of young leaders.

"United We Stand!" is the slogan for VJC this year. The Board of Directors has showed their unity, passion and dedication to lead the chapter. Many new projects will be launched this year. The challenges and the opportunities will definitely provide a great development platform to nurture great leaders.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to be chairman in 2011 VJC Inauguration Ceremony. The success cannot be realized without the determination of organization committee and the supports from advisers and board of directors. Victorian, stay in tune, be united, enjoy the exciting moments and the learning opportunities with us.

初三行大運

It’s a wonderful experience to have so many VJC members, friends and families get together during our Feb MFG. Whether it is the tour of some significant landmarks and factories of Yuen Long, Chinese Lion Dance, Clay pot dinner or funny lucky draw has given all the JCI members an remarkable evening. I really appreciate all of your participations and I hope that everyone had a great time. Thank you to all the members tidy up the dining area so we can return the ancestor temple neatly back to the host after the event. Also, it is my great pleasure to work with other 5 chambers – Yuen Long JC, Ocean JC, Sha Tin JC, Lion Rock JC, Tai Ping Shan JC. Without their detail coordination, dedication and planning, all of us would not be having so much fun on the event day. Another thing we should really feel proud of ourselves because our chamber has the most participants among all – more than 55 participants on the event day! Remember: United We stand!

三月份月會

中環歷史文化美食生態遊

三月份月會：中環歷史文化美食生態遊

中環對你來說是甚麼地方？工作？購物？吃喝玩樂？若僅此而已的話，實在太浪費這個香港開埠170年以來每一天也在不停變化，也可能是香港最矛盾的地方。因為歷史因素令這個地方中、西、新、舊、平、貴、動、靜同時存在。

活動雖然以「生態遊」為名，但到訪的郤是香港其中最繁忙的市區，因為這個活動由香港古蹟文俗研究推廣會的主席陳榮珊小姐，帶領參加者走遍中環的舊街，欣賞當中的文化歷史，理念與生態遊相若。

其實這個活動希望帶出的訊息是，在我們生活的環境當中其實有很多值得欣賞的事物，例如中環擁有很多有特色、有歷史價值的事物，細訴著關於香港變遷的故事，令我們更了解這個地方的過去。

這些故事才是我們獨有，不能被取代，也不能自行製造出來的東西。我認為若有外國的朋友想認識香港，向他們介紹這些香港的細節點滴，比向他們介紹香港有甚麼地方吃喝玩樂有意義得多。

當然，這些可能需要別人導賞介紹、或者自己看書才能了解。希望這個活動能夠作為一個引子，令大家更能夠欣賞身邊的事物，更珍惜我們所共同擁有的地方。

This time is my fourth time being chairlady for JC event. Compared with the first one, I found that my leadership and presentation skill have improved, at least it is easier for me to deliver the Thought of Thanks at the end of event Haha ^^” Indeed, VJC is a place which can help to explore my potential to be a leader. Here, I would like to heartfelt thanks the guidance and support from all the Presidents, Advisors and Supervising Officers I have worked with so far. I do learn a lot from them!!

From Day 1 planning to event day, I enjoy every process and more importantly, I am happy to learn with new friends from different background and working styles, like this time - All my OC members are Prospective members. I believe all of us not only “knowing ourselves”, but also applying the knowledge and insight we gained from each other throughout the process. Once again, thank you so much for President Connie, SO Chris and my OC team – Selina, Wayne, Keith, Drake and Danny to make the event smooth and success. They were very helpful and kind to me. Best wishes for them and looking forward to have more VJC’s meaningful events coming!!

樂施米義賣大行動

愛，由一包米開始

January, usually is the busiest month of the year as one of the Chinese Proverb stated “一年之計在於春”, all the planning should be done in Spring or it will be too late. Not only we are busy planning, we are also trying our best to join the inaugural ceremonies for other chapters to share the happy moments with our JC friends.

在2011的母親節，你到了那裏慶祝呢？我們一行十多人，在30度的高溫下，為樂施會義賣「樂施米」。大家也沒有因為天氣，因為辛苦，因為汗水而卻步，實在值得加許。

This year, not only is the 40th Anniversary of our Sister Chapter JCI Seoul Dongdaemun but also the 10th Anniversary of our sister pack since we had the twinning in the year 2002. It’s my honor that two of my Presidential advisors, Past President Clara and Winnie together with our 2002 Past President Benny to join me in this trip. Of course my IA team and friends were also traveling with me to Korea to celebrate this wonderful event.

Although I have been to Korea for couple of times, this was my first time visiting our sister Chapter Seoul Dongdaemun JC. For the 4 days and 3 nights, we had visited so many different places including the unforgettable night in Korea local disco/night club, the famous Nami Island, the great scenery at the countryside with “Sakura” all of over the place. In addition to that, I would never forget the fantastic Korean chicken soup, the hot Korean noodle at the sidewalk and the Korean hot pot at the middle of the night. For those who have not been to any International activities with us, I strongly encourage you to join us next time to experience yourselves.
