The Mid-Autumn Festival has always been a good time for all family to gather to enjoy a great evening together. Ang Shee General Association also made it a point for members to spend time together as a family during this special day. To organize this evening for approximately a hundred members is no easy feat; the committee had spent weeks of planning to make this event a reality every year.
At around 5pm, the members had already started to prepare for the event. Everyone was tasked with a checklist to ensure the success of the event. Members began to arrive with their kids at around 7pm. Our chairman welcomed everyone with warm greeting and a speech to thank everyone for their time. He expressed his great joy with the new young faces within the crowd; knowing that the tradition would live on with the next generation. An important point was made to urge members to contribute or assist in the upcoming related Liu Kwee Tang Reunion event. The event would take place in Singapore and members should try to help to host this event where members from the region would turn up for this major event.
Up next was the whole line up of programs to entertain both the young and old. The committee had arranged entertainment such as Karaoke sessions, beer drinking competitions, lantern walks for the kids, lucky draw and etc. It was a fun filled evening indeed.
