OCTOBER 2025 PRESIDENT’S REPORT

OCTOBER 2025 PRESIDENT’S REPORT

With October behind us, fall season with fall colours in front of us, looks all the leaves are almost all down, getting ready for our winter months. Although it can be brutally cold some days, but not every day. That’s what make it different for us that chosen to live in Winnipeg. Days can be cold, windy, snowy cloudy day, but it can also be a very nice, beautiful calm sunny day, with the warm sun. Let’s make the best of it.

This last October continues to remain as an extremely busy month for all our event volunteers and committee leaders, fully engaged and occupied for our Senior Programs and our bi-annual Golden Dragon Gala fund raising event. Our seniors Program with a variety of classes planned is seeing the substantial pickup on attendants. It is exiting to observe and to absorb the increased foot traffics over Saturday and Sunday. Thank you for those that are participating.

High light for October is our bi-annual fund-raising Golden Dragon Gala (GDG). Same as previous years, this year Gala also took place at the RBC Convention Centre. This year event was sold out, over 680 attendants. We do note it as our new record. A great thank you to the GDG Committee, Taren Wan as Chief Coordinator, our MC – Tina Chen, our Office team (Mia, Helen, Gaga and Yubo), our audio/lighting crew Yes Oui Production, and many of our other vendors that have provided their services and support. Most importantly, we also thank the team from RBC Convention Centre, for their planning, organization, staff support and service team. The evening was perfectly executed.

Part of this coming month November, we are excited to report a first trial weekly Tai Chi class will be starting at 9:00am to noon, Sunday, November 9th. Interest level is phenomenal; registration has surpassed our expectation. Similar situation is occurring to our Mahjong classes with request to have more regular scheduled classes and work is in progress.

Next exciting event is scheduled for Sunday, December 7th – our first Holiday Family Day. Check out our event poster on our official website.

Continue programming for community activities continues. There are other new programs being scheduled for all age group to participate.

2025年10月主席报告

随着十月的结束，秋季的色彩已展现在我们眼前。看起来树叶几乎都已经落下，意味着我们即将迎来冬季的月份。虽然有些日子会冷得刺骨，但并不是每天都如此。这正是我们选择生活在温尼伯的独特之处。日子可能寒冷、多风、下雪或阴天，但也可能非常晴朗温和，阳光明媚。让我们好好享受这份变化之美吧。

刚过去的十月对我们所有的活动志愿者和委员会负责人来说，依然是一个异常忙碌的月份，他们全身心投入到长者项目以及一年两度的金龙慈善晚宴中。我们的长者项目安排了丰富多样的课程，出席人数明显上升。看到周六和周日人流的增加，令人十分振奋。感谢所有参与其中的人！

十月的亮点是我们两年一次的筹款活动——金龙宴（Golden Dragon Gala, GDG）。与往年一样，今年的晚宴也在RBC会议中心举行。今年的活动座无虚席，共有超过680名来宾参加，创下了新的纪录。特别感谢金龙晚宴委员会、首席协调人Taren Wan、主持人Tina Chen、办公室团队（Mia、Helen、Gaga 和 Yubo）、灯光音响团队Yes Oui Production，以及众多提供服务与支持的供应商。最重要的是，我们也要感谢RBC会议中心团队在策划、组织、人员支持及服务上的出色表现，使整场晚宴完美落幕。

进入十一月，我们很高兴宣布将在11月9日（星期日）上午9点至中午12点开设首次太极课程试课。报名反响热烈，远超预期。类似情况也出现在我们的麻将课程中，大家提出希望能安排更为固定的课程时间，目前我们正在积极筹备中。

接下来的精彩活动将于12月7日（星期日）举行——我们的首届亲自同乐日（Holiday Family Day）。请在我们的官方网站上查看活动海报。

社区活动项目仍将持续进行，我们还计划推出更多适合各年龄层参与的新项目。
