On September 5, President Grace and Jerry, Past Presidents Eddie, Samuel and Lily, and Rotarian Joanna took part in a special Mid-Autumn Festival gesture for the volunteers of Yuk Chi Resource Centre. Arranged by Rotarian Joanna, dozens of boxes of mooncakes were delivered to the Centre as gifts for its volunteers, expressing our Club’s appreciation for their dedication and hard work throughout the year. The mooncakes were sourced from Holy Cafe, our long-term service partner, adding another meaningful connection to this simple act of thanks. Our Club has enjoyed a long relationship with Yuk Chi, and the occasion was a warm reminder that service is also about recognizing those who quietly give their time and effort to others. With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the mooncakes offered a timely way to say thank you and share some festive cheer with the volunteers.
