Firstly, we are going to have our monthly Happy Hour Gathering again. Here are the details of the gathering:

Date: October 7, 2005 (Friday)
Time: 7-9pm
Venue: Dickens Bar, Excelsior Hotel, Causeway Bay

As usual, you are welcome to bring your friends along.

RSVP. For more information, please call Benjamin Chang at 62 443 443 or Victor Nip at 9218 7210.

Secondly, it is about voluntary membership fees again. With your financial support we will be able to organize some greater events which need more financial resources or involve more financial risks. 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.

Lastly, here is a list of our scheduled activities for rest of the fiscal year (subject to confirmation):

• 11/4 Happy Hour Gathering
• 11/26 Thanksgiving Dinner
• 1/1 Longhorn Bowl Game Viewing Party
• 1/6 Happy Hour Gathering

Details of these events will be sent out later. For the time being, please mark your calendar.
