Annual dinner

Nearly 600 members came together to enjoy fellowship, games, singing and dancing at the annual dinner on 8 Dec. Special thanks to members of the Sports and Recreation Club and Young Members Group for their great performances. The cycling parade, led by our sportive members, stunned the guests especially when the leadership team joined in at the end and brought the performance to its climax. A special thanks to the cheering team and guests who helped cheer the cyclists with colorful pompoms. A great display of unity and CPA spirit. Click to see photos.


We would also like to thank the three remarkable masters of ceremony, Faith Del Rosario, Daniel Lin and Derek Yuen, and all the sponsors. Without their support the event wouldn't have been so successful.
