MUCH IN COMMON
***
THE HONG KONG LIFE GUARD CLUB AND THE URBAN COUNCIL HAVE MUCH IN COMMON IN THAT THE CLUB'S MAIN AIM IS TO TRAIN AND PROVIDE QUALIFIED LIFEGUARDS FOR THE COMMUNITY WHILE THE COUNCIL'S LONG-TIME POLICY IS TO ENCOURAGE SWIMMING AS A SPORT AND TO PROMOTE WATER SAFETY, MR HILTON CHEONG-LEEN, CHAIRMAN OF THE URBAN COUNCIL, SAID TODAY.
SPEAKING AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY OF THE CLUB'S WATER SAFETY CAMPAIGN, MR CHEONG-LEEN SAID A TOTAL OF 12 736 SERVICES WERE PERFORMED BY THE HONORARY LIFEGUARDS FROM THE CLUB LAST YEAR WITH 777 SUCCESSFUL RESCUES MADE BY ITS PROFESSIONAL TEAM.
FURTHERMORE, DURING LAST YEAR'S WATER SAFETY CAMPAIGN THE CLUB MOBILISED ALMOST 600 MEMBERS EVERY SUNDAY TO SERVE THE PUBLIC, ADDED MR CHEONG-LEEN.
+OUR FINE RECORD OF LIFE-SAVING MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN AS IMPRESSIVE AS IT IS TODAY BUT FOR THIS HIGHLY VALUABLE SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICE, HE SAID.
+ YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE COUNCIL'S LIFEGUARD SERVICE IS MOST WARMLY APPRECIATED AND HIGHLY REGARDED, AND EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR CLUB SHOULD FEEL VERY PROUD OF YOUR ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN SUCH A WORTHY CAUSE.+
