We had 198 members attending this year’s Christmas Party held at Auburn Community Centre. The party commenced about 10am with ballroom dancing.  We had a delicious BBQ feast at midday.  After lunch, the President of NSWMSA, Ms Aga Ge JP, and each centre’s person in charge gave speech.  Gifts were presented to the volunteers. Then we had a beautiful performance by NSWMSA dance group.  Ballroom dancing continued till the end of the party, about 3pm.

We must give a big thanks to the organisers and all the volunteers. Without their dedications and tremendous efforts, we would not be able to have enjoyed such a wonderful and happy Christmas Party.  Thank you all very much!

Wish all our NSWMSA members a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

In the afternoon, after a delicious lunch provided by NSW MSA, we joined in ballroom dancing and waltzed together in the hall. We all had a wonderful time.
