(3) PP John Kwok and PP Stephen would host a charity golf event in Fanling on April 16 (Friday). For all our member participants, there would be an individual contribution of HK$1,000. Whereas, the overseas delegation donations would be proposed as their contribution to our 50th anniversary community project (expected to be about HK$50,000) and our club will match the same amount (say, another HK$50,000). PE Rudy would take that as the project initiative and apply for R.I. matching grant. For the Rotariannes and non-golfers, we would propose Shopping arrangement or community visit for them.

Pres. Henry also promised to supply a dream hope for us - his complimentary gift of the "HK lottery tickets" to each member attending the AMC dinner reception.

PE Rudy made the supplementary report regarding the 50th Anniversary Celebration party that the evening theme, as proposed by Pres. Henry to be "Members sharing - nostalgic and sentimentally warm". We would encourage members to voice their opinion and made suggestion on enrichment of our programmes; some good examples had been voiced out to us; namely:
(1) Recognition of our outstanding members - such as PP James Wu (our founding member)
(2) Recognition of our sister clubs, exchange of gift - by the past presidents who signed the sisterhood.
(3) Recognition of our club achievement regarding the Victoria Park School for the Deaf school, their council chairman could be invited.

Joke & Cartoon

A car full of ladies from a Hadassah fund raising committee are in a terrible accident. They arrive at the Pearly Gates where Saint Peter is waiting.

The women want to get into Heaven, so Saint Peter looks through the book, but can't find them listed in the New Arrivals section.

"I'm sorry," Saint Peter says to them, "but I can't find you in the book, there must be some mistake."

With that, he sends them down to Hell. A couple of days later, God asks Saint Peter, "What happened to those Jewish ladies who were supposed to be here?"

"You mean the ones from Hadassah?" Saint Peter asks. "I didn't see them listed, so I sent them to Hell."

"You WHAT?" God asks outraged, "I wanted them here. If you want to keep your job, you better call Satan and get them back up here ASAP."

St. Peter gets on the phone and calls Hell. "Satan you know those Jewish ladies I sent down there? Well, I really need them up here. Could you please send them back?"

"NO WAY," Satan replies. "They're here only two days and they've already raised $100,000 for an air conditioning system!"
