Please be reminded that our Happy Hour Gathering is coming this Friday. We hope to see you there!

First, a few members have already paid their voluntary membership fees. With your financial support we will be able to organize some great events which every one can enjoy. If you are interested to support us, please go to our web site at http://www.hktx.org/ and click §Voluntary Membership Fees¨ on the home page to pay through PayPal with your credit cards. As mentioned in our previous email, members who pay membership fees will receive discounts for attending our activities while their paid membership is in effect. They and other donors will also be recognized in our web site.
