DISTRICT OFFICER TO TAKE PART IN N.T. WALK FOR A MILLION
The Tsuen Wan District Officer, Mr. John. Warren, is all set to lead
the New Territories assault on Sunday's Walk for a Million.
With the support of the three Rural Committees in the Tsuen Wan
District, the Tsuen Wan Chamber of Commerce and the Tsuen Wan Rotary Club,
Mr. Warren is already backed to the tune of $7,000 before he even leaves the
starting grid.
Starting with him from the District Office Recreation Club is a team
of five girls and five other staff plus more than ten individual entries from
members of his staff.
The walk will climax the District Office's fund-raising drive on
behalf of the Community Chest which, it is anticipated, will raise $20,000,
Already the District Office has organised a number of function including
a Lunar New Year party and a charity football match to add to the Chest's coffers.
Among rural leaders taking part in Sunday's walk will be the Chairman
of the Tsuen Wan Rural Committee, Mr. Chan Po-fong, who has been guaranteed
much support from both District Office staff and the Tsuen Wan public.
A spokesman of the District Office said: "All of us in the New
Territories Administration realise the value of active support for the Community
Chest."
"We think it is very much worthwhile to give up some of our own time
in order to assist those of us in Hong Kong who are not as fortunate as others."
