Happy Winter Solstice!!!!
We had a very special social meeting last Thursday. A group of Rotarians, Pres. Sam, PP ET, PP Fred, PP Peter, PP Gary, PP Choi, PP Ip, PP Synthia, PP Fatima, PP KC, Rtn. Chris and I attended the reception to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor of Japan hosted by our Hon. Member, Consul-General of Japan for HK and Macau, Ambassador Kuninori Matsuda at the Okura Hotel. You can see from the attached photos how enjoyable we were at the reception. After the reception, most of us went to the lobby bar, Cafe Nagomi, to have our social meeting and were joined by Rtn. Liying, Rtn. Marc, Rtn. Trent and Ignacio, friend of Synthia. It was a cosy place and we had very good fellowship.

Btw, I am sorry to inform you that was the last meeting of Trent with our Club. He just left Macau for good yesterday. He would go back to Brisbane to join his family for Christmas first and then he would head to Qingdao, China for his career. May I wish him all the best and every success in his new career in Qingdao!
