Dear Members,
Kung Hei Fat Choi !
Wishing you a very good year of the Monkey. Hope you had an excellent CNY break and are now back into the rhythm of HK.
Since we wrote to you on 5 February 2016, we have had very good response; both for the registration for India by the Bay and Renewal of Membership. However, we are still not there and quite a number of you are yet to attend to our previous mail. Could you devote a bit of your time and pay your membership fee and register for the events without any further delay?
India by the Bay:- If we do not hear from you by 21 of February 2016, we will release the reserved places back to the event organisers, The Asia Society.
Our mail below gives full details on the Events on 25 and 27 February, also on the renewal of membership. Do drop us a line if you need any further information or clarification. We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Bhawani S Rath
Secretary I FIPHK

Dear members,
Hope you all are looking forward to the CNY holidays. On behalf of the MC, I convey our best wishes for the Year of the Monkey. Kung Hei Fat Choi…
The Management Committee and the Events Sub-Committee met early this week and discussed few things and one of them was reviewing events for the first quarter of the year. This was necessary due to certain very interesting developments post our previous mail.
