She said,
“This is our second seniors luncheon since the pandemic. We hope to host similar events in more areas across Sydney in the future, spreading joy and care throughout the community. Today’s success would not have been possible without the teamwork of our committee and members. I’d like to especially thank Vice President Rosanna Ng, Honorary Advisor Florence Chau, Event Project Officer Stella Su for all of the wonderful planning works they have done, as well as member Sue Luo and the staff of Taste of Shunde for their warm hospitality and strong support.”
The MC introduced The Honourable Dr. Helen Sham Ho OAM, our Founder & Honorary President, noting that although she is in her eighties, she remains active and deeply involved in community activities.

She noted that the event received strong support from members and volunteers, filling the banquet with love and blessings.
“Seeing our seniors leave with smiles and happiness is the best recognition we could ever receive.” she said.
