WAN CHAI CARE FOR ELDERLY CAMPAIGN CLOSES

* * * * *

MORE THAN 500 ELDERLY AGED OVER 75 IN WAN CHAI WERE TREATED TO A BANQUET AND PERFORMANCES BY CANTONESE OPERA STARS THIS EVENING

(WEDNESDAY).

THE EVENT MARKED THE END OF A TWO-MONTH

"CARE FOR THE OLD CAMPAIGN" IN THE DISTRICT, DURING WHICH MORE THAN 1,700 PEOPLE HAD PARTICIPATED IN ACTIVITIES INCLUDING AN OPERA EVENING, VISITS то ELDERLY HOMES, AND A "DIM SUM" LUNCH AND CANTONESE OPERATIC SONGS PERFORMANCE.

THE CAMPAIGN WAS ORGANISED BY THE DISTRICT OFFICE WITH THE SUPPORT OF COMMERCIAL AND DISTRICT ORGANISATIONS.

SPEAKING AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY, DISTRICT OFFICER MR ALLAN CHOW SAID THE CAMPAIGN, WHICH HAD BEEN HELD ANNUALLY SINCE

1969, WAS ONE OF THE "OLDEST" COMMUNITY FUNCTIONS IN HONG KONG.

HE PRAISED THE VARIOUS ORGANISATIONS CONCERNED FOR THEIR ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT AND SPONSORSHIP.

"THE STABILITY AND PROSPERITY WE HAVE TODAY ARE THE RESULTS OF THE HARD WORK OF THE ELDERLY AND THE CAMPAIGN IS JUST A GESTURE TO SHOW OUR RESPECT FOR THEM," MR CHOW SAID.

TURNING TO THE FORTHCOMING DISTRICT BOARD ELECTIONS, MR CHOW CALLED ON THOSE WHO ARE EAGER TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY TO STAND FOR ELECTIONS AND URGED REGISTERED ELECTORS TO CAST THEIR VOTES ON MARCH 10.

ALSO PRESENT AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY WERE CHAIRMAN OF THE CAMPAIGN, MR HSU CHUNG-CHI; URBAN COUNCILLOR, MR HILTON CHEONG-LEEN; AND WAN CHAI DISTRICT BOARD CHAIRMAN, MRS PEGGY LAM.
