BIRTHDAY PARTIES FOR ELDERLY
The first of a series of birthday parties for old people living
in Wong Tai Sin district will be held tomorrow (Sunday).
Seven elderly members of the Ki Lin Centre, a club organised by
the Wong Tai Sin District Federation of Welfare Services for the Aged,
will be entertained along with other friends and members.
The party will be held from 2.30 to 3.30 p.m. in the club premises
at 13 Muk Lun Street in Wong Tai Sin. It will be run by volunteers.
Mr. Basil Leung, Warden of the Wong Tai Sin Community Centre,
which is sponsoring the Federation and its activities, said similar parties
will be held on the last Sunday of each month for members whose birthdays
fall within that month.
"It gives the elderly people in the district a chance to celebrate
their birthdays, demonstrating at the same time that we do care about
them," he said.
Apart from these parties, the club provides a friendly atmosphere
where the elderly can meet to enjoy television, play chess, or just
talk with friends.
Other activities which are arranged for them include outings, indoor
activities and social gatherings.
