Ever since its inception in the
year 1980, Zonta Club of Hong Kong East has flourished from strength
to strength. Membership increased from twenty three charter members
to over fifty recently. During the past twenty five years, 300 service
projects of various natures were successfully launched, rendering
assistance, vocational training, support, self-esteem enhancement
and empowerment to approximately one hundred thousand women, youth
and elderly in Hong Kong. Six fund-raising events and over seventy
luncheon meetings and numerous fellowship functions had been held.
Our Club has indeed set a publicly recognized track record.
We owe our success and accomplishment to our many friends for their
unfailing support and encouragement throughout the years. We are
grateful to the speakers who came to our Luncheon Meetings to deliver
talks; Officiating Guests and Keynote speakers who graced our occasions
with their presence at our Major events; NGOs and charitable organizations
which worked closely with us as we implemented our service projects.
We express our sincerest gratitude to our donors for their generous
support to our fund-raising events, making it possible for us to
carry out meaningful and useful service projects.
We wish to convey our appreciation to our Patrons for their patronage,
to the Area 2 Directors for their hard work and guidance, to Presidents
and members of sister clubs in Hong Kong with whom we have enjoyed
many happy fellowship functions. Our special thanks must go to our
Honorary Members: to Mrs. Regina Ip for her loyalty and devotion to
the Club as a member and later as our Honorary member; to Mrs. Alice
Chiu for her staunch support and assistance to our service and fund-raising
activities; to Mrs. Anson Chan who has been with us since day one as
a charter member. Mrs. Chan’s continuous care and devotion to our Club;
her unfailing support, sound advice and guidance; and her effort in
trying to be there whenever we needed her warrant our profound gratitude.
