During the dinner, Teresa Chan, our Chairperson presented Katy Wong, Matt Wong, and Georgia Wong their well-earned certificates recognising their success in the NZCA Academic Awards 2019. Its encouraging to see that out of 8 applications and 5 successful candidates, 3 came from Otago & Southland Association. A great result.

We also had the Hon. David Clarke, Ingrid Leary (Labour candidate for Taieri) in attendance. A significant amount of money was raised by the raffles and auctions thanks to generous guests. 

Dinner ended with a sampling of mini Moon Cakes. A favourite for some of us, or an unknown taste sensation for others.
