DG Eugene Fong and Hon. Kenneth Leung Kai-cheong will be our Guests of Honour. There are 10 RAAS partnering schools with almost 70 participants have signed up to attend.

B. Sports Day for All 傷健共融運動日 on 2 November 2013 at Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground
“Sports Day for All” Co-Chair PDG Tony Wong announced with great pleasure that due to overwhelming responses, despite our target was 3,000 participants only, we had over 4,000 people enrolled including Rotary Clubs and those under Rotary umbrella, Voluntary Services and Police Department etc.

The Organising Committee decided to stop receiving enrollment after the deadline 11 October and will choose to invite appropriate participants to attend this event. This difficult measure has to be made because we are confined by the maximum capacity accommodated in Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground. We shall keep you informed of the progress.
PDG Tony would like to express his sincerest gratitude to all of you and thank you so much for your tremendous support.
