The Editor,
For the past 25 years Richmond Chinese Community Society has been doing a commendable job in serving this community.
For the past 12 years, in co-operation with a number of businesses, it has been sponsoring lunch for seniors.
This year again, the Twelfth Annual Seniors Lunch Party held at Continental Seafood Restaurant on Saturday, Aug. 16 was a great success. In addition to the two main lunch sponsors — RiverRock Casino Resort and Vancouver Shaughnessy Lions Club — RCCS had 12 gift sponsors. As usual, the food was delicious. Also, the entertainment provided by RCCS English Corner students, Alisha Houang, Taichi Class and Fitness Dance Class was excellent.
The complimentary gifts, goody bags and lucky draws made the event even more enjoyable. The restaurant staff did a commendable job in serving the lunch to a very large number of seniors from diverse backgrounds.
Initiatives like this go a long way in bringing to-gether people from different cultures. They strengthen our common bond of being the citizens of this great country.
I would like to thank RCCS for putting on such a great lunch designed to build bridges between different cultures and promoting intercultural harmony.
