From a March 3, 2011 News Release: WANT TO MEET OLD CHINA HANDS?
If so then start thinking about a day (from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.) to enjoy the Lusitano Club's 2011 Old China Hands Reunion at Macau Cultural Center in Fremont, California on Sunday November 6th 2011. Round trip chartered bus service from San Francisco/San Mateo to Fremont will be available at a minimal cost by request.
No speakers, or set program, just a nice friendly social for old times sake discussing the wonderful old days back in China with a Macanese luncheon and Chinese Banquet Dinner including registration for $45 (registration $10, luncheon $10 and dinner $25). One or two meals can be deleted but registration is mandatory.
For those that want to come a day early (Saturday November 5th 2011) if there is sufficient interest, there will be a nice get together planned in or around the San Francisco area. Watch for details in official application.
For those interested in participating please email 2011OCH@gmail.com or call Harold at (678) 614-6067 for an application.
