The darkest MFG you have ever been...
Dialogue in the Dark
I am so glad to be the chairman of VJC
May Monthly Fellowship Gathering -
Dialogue in the Dark. This is my first
time to organize event for VJC as a
Chairman and very fortunate that it is
"FULL HOUSE".
The main reason I am glad to be the
chairman of this event because it is a
meaningful event that could assist the
Dialogue in the Dark to promote their
mission:
1. To bridge the gap between disabled groups and the rest of society.
2. To create jobs for the visually impaired.
3. To raise awareness and tolerance in society towards disadvantaged groups.
I believe all our participants including have already raised awareness to the disabled groups and
will help they whenever possible. In the 75 minutes in the dark, we realized the fear of living without
eyes; we experienced the inconvenience; and the world with no light and color.
This is not the worst, the worst is being discriminated. Try to put yourself in their shoes and ask
yourself what do you need, if you were one of them. Love!!

May is always a special month for me. It is a month of carnation, a month of
compassion, a month of celebrating the greatest love of our beloved mother.
May is a special month for Victorians too. It is my great pleasure to be the
National Assigned Executive Officer of Victoria Junior Chamber, which is the
most senior chapter among the 19 chapters affiliated to Junior Chamber
International Hong Kong. In such a special occasion, I have witnessed and
celebrated the 61st birthday with our joyful Victorians.
Victorians always give us the impression of being energetic, innovative,
creative and friendly. Having the longest history in Hong Kong, Victoria Junior
Chamber has nurtured and cultivated a lot of outstanding leaders in our society.
Through organzing her flagship community development project “Grandparents’ Day” since 1990, it
has aroused public awareness of family harmony and the importance of showing care and respect to
the elderly. In the past few years, this project has reinforced closer relationship among the three
generations from grandparents to grandchildren.
Lastly, I wish Victoria Junior Chamber a happy 61st birthday and every success in the coming projects.
Frances Cheung
National Vice President, JCIHK
This year marks a new beginning for our chapter as we stepped into the 61st
year.
Starting something new is always difficult, especially when we have 60 year of
history behind. However, as Victorians, we are not afraid of challenges. We are
here to create, to learn, to develop, to lead and to push our chapter to a new
heights.
As such, for the past couple of months, we have implemented many new ideas
and activities for our chapter. Amazingly, with the help of the board members
and our beloved VJC members, we have experience a very high participation
rate for all the events we hosted so far.
Most of all, in good times and in bad times, we enjoy and treasure the time we spent together as a family.
United We Stand, let’s carry on!!!

February Monthly Fellowship Gathering
Six Rabbits Celebrate Together
It’s a wonderful experience to have so many VJC
members, friends and families get together during
our Feb MFG. Whether it is the tour of some
significant landmarks and factories of Yuen Long,
Chinese Lion Dance, Clay pot dinner or funny lucky
draw has given all the JCI members an remarkable
evening. I really appreciate all of your participations
and I hope that everyone had a great time. Thank
you to all the members tidy up the dining area so
we can return the ancestor temple neatly back to
the host after the event. Also, it is my great pleasure
to work with other 5 chambers – Yuen Long JC,
Ocean JC, Sha Tin JC, Lion Rock JC, Tai Ping
Shan JC. Without their detail coordination,
dedication and planning, all of us would not be
having so much fun on the event day. Another thing
we should really feel proud of ourselves because
our chamber has the most participants among all –
more than 55 participants on the event day!
Remember: United We stand!

including the unforgettable night in Korea local disco/night club, the famous Nami Island, the great
scenery at the countryside with “Sakura” all of over the place. In addition to that, I would never forget
the fantastic Korean chicken soup, the hot Korean noodle at the sidewalk and the Korean hot pot at

encourage you to join us next time to experience yourselves.
