PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE CONTRIBUTION MADE BY THE ASSOCIATION, MR LUI SAID HE WAS CONFIDENT THAT PROMOTING THE SPIRIT OF VOLUNTEERISM WOULD PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART IN DEVELOPING COMMUNITY BUILDING IN THE NEW TERRITORIES.

GOVERNMENT HAD BEEN STRIVING FOR A BETTER COMMUNITY LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS, INCLUDING NEWCOMERS, HE SAID. SUPPORT FROM ORGANISATIONS SUCH AS THE ASSOCIATION FOR VOLUNTEER SERVICE WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THE EXHIBITION WAS PREVIOUSLY HELD BETWEEN OCTOBER 24 AND OCTOBER 27 AT THE OCEAN TERMINAL AND WAS OPENED BY THE CHIEF SECRETARY, SIR JACK CATER.

IT HAS BEEN MOVED TO TSUEN WAN TOWN HALL TO PROMOTE AND DEVELOP VOLUNTEER SERVICE AND RECRUIT MEMBERS FROM THE NEW TERRITORIES.

IT WILL BE OPEN DAILY FROM 10 AM TO 6 PM UNTIL SUNDAY (NOVEMBER 2).

THE ASSOCIATION, ESTABLISHED IN JULY, 1970, IS FINANCED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THE HONG KONG COMMUNITY CHEST.
