other "friends of KGM".

Winner "Best English Language Bulletin" in District 3450, 2001/2002
The Phantom returns:
 
Yes folks, rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. It's just that I've been travelling in the USA for the past two weeks and, due to the time zone differences and a very hectic schedule, it simply wasn't possible for me to send out the Golden News.

Anyway I'm back but, since my desk is in such a mess, this is an abridged version of Golden News, however the regular version will be published next Monday.
 
 
This Week's Meeting:


Our guest speaker this week is Albert "Mr. Magic" Tam who will be speaking to us on "The Hong Kong Magician's Association".


Milestones:
 
(Drum roll) Tomorrow, 25 February 2003, marks KGM's "Sweet 16th" birthday.
 
Birthday greetings for 27 February to Dilip "Parma Ham" Parmanand who we suspect is slightly older than "Sweet 16" and who shares his birthday with actress Elizabeth Taylor, who is something like 16 in dog years!
 
 
Fellowship News:
 
Last call from KGM Fellowship Director Miranda "King" Kong about the fellowship she has organised for this Friday, 28 February commencing at 7:00 p.m. at the Karin Weber Gallery, G/F, 32A Staunton Street, Central.
 
This will be followed by dinner at "My Place" which is located next door to the gallery.
 
Members who have not yet confirmed their attendance should telephone Miranda on 9199 3077 without delay.
 
Fund-Raising KGM Polio Plus Cookbook:
 

Have YOU purchased any copies yet?

Sales of our revised cookbook "Dining In with Great Chefs of Hong Kong" continue unabated and, at only HK$188 (US$25) per copy, the cookbook is excellent value. An image of the cover has been uploaded to the KGM website.

For more general enquiries, contact President-Elect Lady Patricia of Happy Valley on telephone 9312 3606 or by email.
 
Remember, KGM can now accept online payments by major credit card through PayPal.

Please tell your friends in Hong Kong and overseas about this new facility, in order to assist sales of the cook book in support of our Polio Plus fund-raising activities.
